Why are Asylum Fixes Absent in Border Funding Battle? | Federation for American Immigration Reform

President Trump and various administration officials have accurately diagnosed the crisis at the border and its impact on the security of our nation by pointing out the widespread exploitation of our asylum laws. Every day, people cross our borders and present claims that are clearly coached, knowing that in most cases they will be released pending a hearing that could be years in the future. Because of this, there are now nearly one million cases backlogged in the immigration court and massive backlogs at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) asylum offices.

The Democrats and the welfare state want more constituents,and the Chamber of Commerce wants cheap wages. This is the real reason neither party fixes this when the have the majority’s. Bottom line. The American workers get the shaft with low wages and fewer job opportunities in unskilled labor.

The New Face of the Democratic Donkey: Eeyore – The Imaginative Conservative

I have noticed that my liberal friends have been very depressed lately. I used to think that my conservative pals and I were the ones who were constantly bemoaning the decline of Western civilization, but we just can’t match the Eeyore-like moaning of our left-wing acquaintances in the time of Trump… (essay by Benjamin Lockerd)

The Aspect of the Midterm Elections Being Ignored | Armstrong Economics

While we are still waiting for the final election results to determine if we elected a Bearish Reversal in the Senate for the Democrats, the dust is beginning to settle and people in the political realm are beginning to review the results closer. While many of the press try to claim Trump’s calling the election a victory is false, in fact, they are dead wrong. It is now clearly established that Donald Trump’s election was by no means an accident or some one-time fluke. His victory in the Senate clearly established for the first time that a populist can retain power for more than a single election. Now Trump still has a hold on the Senate and the rest of the Republicans will begin to take him more seriously. That means his nominations for various posts can be expected to push through and the Democrats will be powerless to stop that position. The Democratic victory in the House is really like Don Quijote fighting windmills. Yes, they will now have subpoena power to go after Trump. But the House can bring an impeachment against the President and need 258 votes to do so, but the trial must take place in the Senate. The Democratic party will hold anywhere between 46 and 48 seats in the US Senate and that means it was a NET LOSS and there is NO CHANCE they will be able to take the Senate before 2024. The Democratic party currently holds 49 seats and if they come in at 46, that will be a MAJOR sell signal for the Democrats moving forward. They will do their best to obstruct Trump for the next two years in a desperate hope of winning the White House in 2020. Yet they may appear so obstructive, it could easily come back to push them down significantly if they end up with less than 47 seats in the Senate.

I think this truth is beginning to settle in, especially with Sessions being removed.
