Since President Donald J. Trump took office, fewer illegal immigrants have been caught trying to cross the southwest border.



“Some of it could be a reaction to statements from President Trump that we’re going to increase border security."

''Democrats should have become worried tonight" -- Van Jones on Donald Trump's address to congress
Democrats worry about what ?. You are very new to American politics. There's nothing new in what trump is saying because every American president gives a good speech on The State of The Union. It's what is accomplished that matters. His speechwriters wrote a good speech and all he does is reading the Teleprompter. It's the way trump governs that matters and that remains to be seen. Infact, he's a woeful failure so far.

Solid Trump Speech
Tell us one thing the Speech accomplished ?. It's the way he governs that counts not reading some speech on Teleprompter ?. Once he starts behaving like a President and stop lying and turning anyone that disagree with him to an American enemy, then he will be taken seriously. The speech just tell us he has good speechwriters. Don't get over excited about presidential speech.

With all the infrastructural decay all over america, pumping hundreds of billions $ more into the military is not the solution. Where is the money coming from ? . With taxcuts trump is proposing and infrastructural upgrade and other spendings, the deficit and the National Debt will go into stratosphere.

It doesn't matter how many he has accomplished or will accomplish, No matter what u and ur libtards are still gonna hate, period!. Trump is doing something about your beloved crime-filled Chicago, and he's just signed two Executive orders to help Women and African American Colleges. Hatred blinds you, no matter what the other fellow does it's never good enough, it can never be appreciated even if he/she gives u honey from d rock 24/7.

Dumbo, I know you can't differentiate between a speech and governing. State of the Union speech means absolutely nothing in america. Governing means a lot and the buck stops at the Presidency. When trump starts respecting Americans that disagrees with him as unamerican, he will starts gaining people's respect. I don't expect you to know that since you are used to a despotic leadership.

Well said!

Additionally, Obama inherited an economy in recession (thanks to Bill Clinton's deregulations of the markets which were continued by G.W. Bush), so he employed what economists call 'deficit spending'. Meaning that the government borrowed and pumped money into the economy to boost it and get it going again. These measures date back to Keynes who also said that once the economy recovers, the debt must be paid off. It goes without saying why debts should be paid back.

With Trump pumping more borrowed money into the economy, it is only a question of time until the economy will crash again. Combined with the deregulations of the financial markets that he proposes, it may turn out worse than the Great Depression in the 30s.

It will even affect stanech in his hole. He will not even be able to eat one square meal of garri a day, that is if he can afford it now but the mo.ron is unable to understand it. It is too complicated and not comprised into a 140 characters message. grin

I also wonder why military spending should have priority here and now when you folks have the strongest and by far most superior military in the world. Don't you have other problems?

Ahhh, yeah! Let us create jobs by bringing back the steel industry. And once the costs explode, the Republicans will shout 'regime change' again, bomb countries without any back-up from the UN Security Council and leave Europe alone to face another immigrant crisis. And then Missy89 will say that empathy has no place in politics. Without empathy and compassion, we would not have any human rights today, which we are so proud of but that's a story for another day.

Make America FVCK IT UP again.

If no one stops Trump shadow president bannon will have his war with China or the Middle East

Oh well, he will need to have a war for the investment in the military to pay off. War is business. I doubt it will be China though for the simple fact that North Korea is a bigger problem and also because he has pledged his alliance to Israel. So it is either South Korea or another country in the Middle East. And once desperate and destitue people start fleeing from these worn torn countries, Americans will close their border in the name of islamophobia.

I wish Europeans had been smarter. I seriously think Putin is now the lesser of the two evils and I never thought I would say it.

Lol. You are contradicting urself. I find it extremely weird that a liberal like you is pretending to care about the debt when the president is a republican. But you guys want to expand every entitlement program in the books.

By the way, the proposed military spending increase is about 20 billion compared to the 1 trillion he wants to spend on infrastructure. Your partisan brain did not remember that part apparently

Empathy has nothing to do with Human rights. Most Human Rights documents were written after feudal states have disappeared in Europe in the Middle Ages. Are u saying the people started having compassion in the 12th century?

Not surprised you are supporting more money on Defense Department because that's where your bread is being buttered. I like millions of Americans wants the cuts in Defense budget. The debts emanates from the Gipper era of Star Wars with the Soviet Union and it was Democratic President by the name Bill Clinton who erased the deficit and we know what a Republican president by the name George W did with his two worthless wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Rebuilding American infrastructures takes precedent over military military budgets since we are not in the Cold War with Russia anymore.

You need to educate yourself first Missy89, not me, or just say that you support the Republicans because they butter your bread without any uncalled for justifications of what you actually know is wrong.

Here is an extract from your source and it perfectly illustrates the brainwashing that Republicans have been, I must admit, very successful with:

Entitlements are divided into two main categories: those financed from federal trust funds (or insurance based programs) and those paid for out of general revenues (or the needs based programs.
The insurance based programs, which constitute the major portion of entitlement spending, include social security, uemployment insurance and Medicare.



So people pay insurance and taxes from which these programs are funded and when they need one of these programs, you call it entitlement?
They are not entitled, they paid for it and they deserve it. In the same way that I deserve for my car insurance to cover the damage of my car in the unfortunate case of an accident. It's not because I feel entitled, it's because I paid for it.

And to think that the Party that attracts so many Christian fundamentalists, has no mercy on the needy, is hypocritical to the core.

Lol. I see you left off the next paragraph after that CLEARLY says that the need based entitlement is not based on prior tax payments.
