They're not, and they don't. Does it have "any meaning" that he tries to characterize them that way, even tho the facts don't support his argument?

No, of course it doesn't.

Be more obtuse.

Your facts maybe......

Setback #1: Virtually all Americans have more disposable income, which they can put back into the private sector to grow the economy, due to tax cuts.

Setback #2: People now have a choice to buy or not to buy health insurance.

Setback #3: More minorities than ever are working. Unemployment at historic lows.

Feel free to add.

These are great things. I'll await H4C to add the rest. But I know he won't...

Meanwhile, while waiting for Horse to dazzle us with his brilliance, I'll add a fourth:

Setback #4: Trump got OPEC to increase oil production by 1,000,000,000 barrels a day, which is driving the price of gas down. (Obama never worried himself about this, since his goal was to drive the price of oil up.)

CBS Poll: Most Americans Want Illegal Alien Families Either Deported or Detained

Today, New York City based political commentator, Ryan Girdusky, pointed out a statistic from a CBS poll released today that may surprise some Democratic officials – most Americans want parents and children who enter America illegally kept together as a unit, but prefer that the entire family is either detained or deported after they are caught crossing the border into America. In fact, just 21% of Americans believe that these illegal aliens and their offspring should be released into American streets.

This is the losing issue that the Dems are banking on to make their platform for the upcoming midterms.

If this doesn't prove how far out of touch with reality the left is, I don't know what will.

I told you that Trump is a genius.

Now...if he'd just follow my advice to make this invasion a national security issue, that would take the crisis out of the legal system and make it a military one. Due Process becomes a thing of the past.

The only reason "illegals" don't commit crimes is because they know if they do, they're likely to be caught and deported.

They WANT to stay under the radar and not call too much attention to themselves.

That is, if we're only talking "illegals" here...I thought the stats included all immigrants as a whole...

but if we're only talking illegals, then yeah, no shit they don't commit as many crimes as actual citizens. If I were an illegal, I'd be sure to steer clear of the cops as much as possible.

It's a YUGE incentive to stay crime-free.

Brilliant, professor.

If that is the case, maybe we can deport all of our native born crooks too. Gotta be cheaper than prisons and penitentiaries. Besides Trump can send 'em to all those shithole countries he despises so much for rehabilitation.

Believe me, I'd be in favor of deporting native born criminals. Except I doubt many countries would be lining up to take them.

We're the only idiots who want to line up to take in criminals. And by default, every illegal immigrant IS a criminal.

Unless they have been granted asylum there is no reason for aliens to be here. Criminals should be sent to jail and then deported. All others deported immediately. With stronger borders hopefully we can keep them out. We owe them nothing.

(emphasis mine)

Not so, according to leftists. "We" owe them everything. If it weren't for the white, bible-clinging, gun-toting, justice-denying European oppressors, who settled this country, all the minorities in the world would be in a much better place today. For one thing, the Mexican border would extend all the way to Canada today.
