1 Trump has sealed the border. Now, Democrats are hell-bent on ending immigration enforcement

2 There is no reason. There are a bunch of reasons. If you looked for an overarching reason, it would have to be that they hate us.

3 Got to replace all those voters they aborted for the last 30 years.

4 The U-Haul factor:

The numbers are needed to maintain congressional district representation, Federal money, phoney baloney jobs, and education indoctrination centers (schools). Voting machines and counting procedures can, and will continue to be cheated. Massive population shifts are a bit more difficult to hide.

People also vote with their feets.

5 Apportionment. The more bodies you have in a state (not voters) the bigger representation you have as determined by the Census. Blue states are hemorrhaging people and losing the new voter registration wars. The only way to counteract this is by importing illegals to bolster the representation by bodies via apportionment --- any bodies.

6 I'm afraid the Dem strategy is working. If Biden let in 20 million and Trump deports 10 million (which I doubt is possible), they've still got 10 million potential new voters, not including the recently deceased.

7 ^ supported by old school GOPe. They 'conserve' what the Left has gained.

8 ^ If I can dream for a moment, this would all be so much easier if Congress got off its ass and passed (and enforced) the SAVE bill. Trump is constantly fighting with the courts because he tries to do things Congress is afraid to do. In practice we only have two branches of government: the executive and the judiciary.

9 If you looked for an overarching reason, it would have to be that they hate us.

For example: According to CDC statistics, upwards of 100,000 people were dying every year that Biden was in office of opiod overdose. That's almost twice as many people in one year than we lost during the entire Vietnam War! Why would Biden not make the slightest effort to stop the flow of deadly narcotics into our country?

Of course Democrats want illegal aliens to vote because they believe the illegal aliens will vote Democrat. But the added value is that killing millions of young white people will hasten the replacement of America's white population by people from the Third World. You must hate white people to want that.

You must hate America's middle class to allow the outsourcing of manufacturing to countries like China, Mexico and Vietnam. All those good jobs went overseas and all those deadly narcotics came here. It's as if somebody wants us to die.

And now they hate, hate, hate Donald Trump for attempting to reverse the trend.

10 The House is doing its bit. They had a second version ready to go when the first one didn’t pass, and sent it quickly out the door — and they supposedly have a third version in case it becomes necessary. But I’ve read that Senator Mitch McConnell is not sending the thing out of committee out of pure spite.

If Mitch is not careful, he is going to end up as the villainous character in a Dr. Seuss book

12 The honourable senior senator from Kentucky is out in January anyway. It won’t matter if Republicans continue to hold both House and Senate in the new session, but it will matter dreadfully if they don’t.

13 He's gone already - that husk is on autopilot/autopen. Seems to be a pattern within both parties.
