This is a very good video clip:

Bannon: Today is the most important day of Trump's presidency
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0V7w0R12eos

Steve Bannon recorded today, May 6. He talks about how much fortitude it has taken for Trump to deal with America's TRUE enemy, the Communist Chinese. The previous 3 presidents worked to transfer America's wealth to the ChiComs. Bannon calls it the Managed Decline of America. But Trump has refused to sell out the American people on this issue. And he's a tough negotiator, just like Reagan was. The Berlin Wall came down primarily because Reagan walked away from negotiations with Gorbachev in Iceland. That is the moment that Trump is facing now, while the mainstream, Leftist-controlled media bleats about Russia Russia Russia, racist racist racist. The ChiCom-loving Deep State's primary job is to keep America from achieving friendly relations with Russia. A Russian-American alliance would spell ruin for the global banking cartel.

Obama by far deported more people than Trump. But somehow Trump gets all the media bashing.

I couldn't read the article due to the paywall. Obama did deport more people than Trump has, apparently. He kept it on the down-low, in contrast to Trump, whose campaign was built on promises to deport everyone here without papers. Does this speak to competence during Obama's terms, whatever you think of the volume of deportations? Across the board, Trump has been largely incompetent, and that is something the Dem contenders will surely be hammering.

The bulk of the bad press Trump has received on immigration came from two sources, his botched and cruel family separation program and his racist fearmongering.

What would be your solution if someone is trying to cross the border illegally? Basically, if you see your country as your home, what do you do if someone is trying to break into?

Does that work for states? I grew up in California. But so many people came in from Indiana and Iowa and Virginia and Tennessee that I can't afford to live there anymore. Should I have stood my ground with a shotgun?

More seriously, we have had immigration for a long, long time, and it never seems to bring the ruin predicted by nativists. After a while, don't people begin to wonder if it might actually be a good thing? Most economic studies of immigration confirm the theoretical prediction that immigration is good for the destination country.
