Yes they will. Mexicans should love it as well. He's actually cutting taxes as well.

That would be yuuge and amayzing.

There are things here that can be fixed and improved for everybody across the board; Americans as well as Mexican migrant workers. Resigning it to its current state, and not even bothering to do anything is a losing proposition for everybody.

I want to see Trump prove them wrong again.

Well if you think it is a good idea that Trump sends undocumented immigrants to random countries then let us contact him and propose he sends them here to Switzerland

Some/most/all countries refuse to accept deportees who cannot prove they are citizens of said countries.
How uncooperative of them

Ah the blue eyed naivety of youth

Suddenly it's no longer surprising that Trump got elected.

People don't want continuity, consistency and truth. They just want to be told what they want to hear. Hush now, don't worry that none of it is actually workable or practical or even legal.

Apparently he's winning but he's not actually done anything yet which has not been steam-rollered by the courts. No matter! It's a win!

I'm off to start a political party. BRB...

I thought Trump had banned Federal agencies from recruiting to cut costs?
I have a great idea; why don't they recruit illegal immigrants as agents? Then they will simultaneously increase the number of agents and decrease the number of immigrants

The term "undocumented" is just not right and was probably coined by the same person who created "pre-owned" vehicle. If it is against the law, it is illegal, not undocumented.

It's actually more complicated than that. Legalese distinguishes between a human and a person. To become a person, you need documents. Your further legal identity is attached to those documents, not to your person. You are identified by such factors as name and date and place of birth, facts that cannot be ascertained by looking at your physical self but that need paperwork. By stripping somebody of all documents, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, you also remove that individual's legal personhood.

It is legally possible but cumbersome to change your name or legal sex. It is virtually impossible to change your date of birth (I am still waiting for somebody to go to court over this. After all, if you feel like a woman in the body of a man, why shouldn't you feel like a different age. It's an arbitatry form of state sanctioned discrimination). But shedding your personhood and acquiring a new one is one way to get around that. If you happen to have black or brown skin, the authorities are more likely to believe your story though than if you are white. Is this discrimination?

There have been two petitions to the government in the UK about Trump's visit.

One calling for Trump to be granted a state visit including official visit to UK parliament and official reception with the Queen.

Another one calling for trump to be allowed a visit as a normal citizen, but not given the status of a state visit.

The UK parliament, lower house, is debating the petitions and part one of the official transcript follows, the debate is now adjourned for the day.

Law enforcement is exempt from the Federal hiring freeze.

Not a bad idea to find a way to outsource law enforcement, so long as it is effective.

All that happened on the 20th so what have they done the last couple of days? All the transcript ends up with are the words "Question put and negatived." Is that even a word?

I only just got it by e-mail: (14:28 today) either my Internet link is slow, or the Hansard typist has only 2 fingers...

So the story about Federal cost savings from the hire freeze was FAKE NEWS?

With salaries, recruitment and training costs, equipment and office space for 10,000 extra agents we are looking at some billions extra costs!

Is Trump able to sign off such extra budget or does he need Congress?

Got mine this morning. I suspect it's a lack of trained typists. Companies seem to think they can do without secretaries these days, except for the highest level employees.

The hiring freeze are for government bureaucrats who sit around trying to regulate people's lives. As he said, law enforcement and military are exempt from the hiring freeze, as they serve a real function of protecting the lives of the people.

It's part of draining the swamp.

"government bureaucrats who sit around" You mean like the Postal Service?

Dear oh dear.... just repeat what you have heard.... protecting people's lives if he actually took it seriously includes such things as ensuring downed animals are not entering the food chain, fresh water is not polluted, oh and perhaps ensuring kids don't get shot at school and a whole heap of other things...

But as we have learned it is very easy fool some American voters.

Voting already took place last November. It is about execution at this phase.

Of all the Presidents and politicians we've had of late, so far, this one appears to be carrying through with what he said he would do.

Well he's talking and tweeting a lot but there's not much action going on, is there...

Interesting article...
