Nebraska was in a world of pain with drought and poor crops before this so I can see it being somewhat true.

So some socialism might help them out.

Seriously it is virtually impossible to watch anything political and know it is not loaded with some kind of bias.. I say this from the perspective of both sides of the spectrum….i guess its a case of selecting the news you like most, kind of like using Netflix. It’s just all about entertainment..

From a policy perspective, I support border enforcement and legal immigration. I believe most immigrants genuinely want a better life and to contribute to their new home. Only through border enforcement can countries control the extent to which this is true.

As for ICE and DHS, I’d say that the open border policies of the previous administration has created a unique set of circumstances that require a level of activity well above what would normally be the case. I understand all illegal immigrants have the opportunity to self report and go through the legal channels for immigration, as over 1 million people do every year in the US. Is there a particular reason why people jumping the queue should get preferential treatment?

I also believe that the Democrats see illegal immigration as a way to stack census data in their favour for House of Representatives seats, hence the violent opposition to ICE/DHS and the virtuous hand wringing by elitist, globalist celebrities safely ensconced in their gated LA mansions, upper NYC apartments and/or island getaways. The type of people socialists would normally see as the enemy, rather than the enemy as defined by CNN and MSNBC.

I agree that there needs to be some form of border enforcement and a legal immigration process.


As for ICE and DHS, we may have to agree to disagree. To me, their approach seems heavy handed and more about sending a message than taking constructive action. Regarding the “jump the queue” comment, I’m not sure that’s entirely fair. Many of these people came due to policies set by a previous government (rightly or wrongly), and if they’ve made meaningful and valuable contributions, they deserve more respect in how the process handles them.


On the census issue, I’m honestly confused by the U.S. approach....it seems like a chaotic mix of state-based decisions. I also don’t think the Democrats are pursuing a political agenda here, especially given the increase in Latino support for Trump in the last election, which arguably hurt them more than helped.


Could you expand on your last sentence? I didn’t quite follow what you meant.
