I'm from Oklahoma but I don't think they want me back. When the big developer busted my union the Benefit money I paid in to the union trust fund was wiped out and wages frozen for 15 years. The savings they realized meant they could bid prices of land acquisition higher to the land speculators sitting o nit waiting for the price to go up The workers lost their health ins, vacation pay and pension and will become a burden on society in time in order that nonproductive speculators can enjoy their profits

His top appointees so far I like though..

Some, I suspect is because of the RNC wants too?? Don't know yet...

What did you guys think he was going to do? Did you honestly think he was going to build a government out of neophytes? I guess the real question is why would you want him to...

Carrier is union and it seems like suddenly they haven't priced themselves out of a job. Unions aren't the reason a business leaves but the abundance of cheap labor elsewhere. And since you guys want to shut down NAFTA and other free trade agreements it turns your are the best friends unions have had in quite a while. So as a supporter of unions and what they have given to this country all I can say is a big thanks and I hope Trump keeps up the good work!

I have no problem with private unions. They can price themselves out of the market if they want. NAFTA needs tweaked not destroyed. Someday you will figure out almost every Bill written has some wonderful sounding name attached such as free trade, so fools like you never see the Bill's downside. You admit Cheap labor effects jobs and wages but support illegal immigration. Hint; letting a bunch of illiterate unskilled people into our country depresses wages and eats up finite government benefits.

As long as government is there to supply the payola unions can't price themselves out of the market. And thinking a wall is a useless endeavor isn't the same as supporting illegal immigration--I don't but also don't support breaking up families. Do as Reagan did and draw a line and allow those that have been here the longest a path to citizenship and the rest deport.

The very fact they come here illegally proves they don't want to become Americans. The wall, virtual and solid, boats on the river they constantly cross and border guards allowed to do their job instead of being Welcome Wagon could stop almost all. If a shithole country like Mexico can stop people from crossing their Southern Border we can. The Obama administration just requested billions of dollars to help clothe and feed all these so called refugees form S. America. Don't have to break up the family. Send the whole family back. LOL. Actually once the border is closed I would have a plan for the illegals here. Probably wouldn't be liked by liberals or Conservatives.

Oh you tease us with a plan for those illegals here and then not share it.....🤔

True story, crazy friend that he is took me for pier fishing early one morning...
As we entered the parking lot the place had more cars than expected..He says to me its the damn illegals again..Just watch and see...

We go up on pier and sure enough lined with mexicans..??
Walking down he starts saying: immigration patrol please get out your visa, green card etc...Starting at the end working our way down..Will save everyone time...I could barely hold on laughing already seeing

🔊《《expressions...lololol..We get down the end, he checks out bait fish around etc and turn around to go get tackle, fishing poles he left thinking if not good there we were going down a bit to another place he liked...

J, I kid you not that pier emptied by about half the people....loll

He then says, see works every time...he bad!!

JFlorio Loc: Seminole Florida

I know you are not kidding. I see it on the skyway fishing pier all the time. One of the reasons I don't fish off there anymore. I called Fish and Game and said they need to check licenses. I noticed the Mexicans keep everything they catch, no matter the size or species. Not once after I called did fish and game show up, but they checked me the other day at John's Pass. I guess I didn't look Mexican enough.

But that was pretty good pay for doing nothing but pushing repeal of Glass Stegall when he was serving as S of State. I expect similar activities by these bunch of billionaire insiders Trump is selecting

If that's true why did so many become citizens when offered the opportunity by Reagan? As for the border guard being a welcome wagon--if that's true why did the border guard turn back over 1 Million illegals a year. Why not just give them a welcome basket and a ride to the city of their choice? And if you want a wall you better go down there and start building it yourself because that's the only way you will see anything other than a fence on the border between the two countries. Hell, Trumps already cut the length of the "wall" in half and no body complained so changing what's it's made of will be no problem at all.

Hey, it's a free market. If the venue didn't want to pay it they certainly didn't have to...

JFlorio Loc: Seminole Florida

Because they didn't have to do anything to earn it. That figure is bogus. Like most of the bull you site. I don't care if the wall is virtual, electric or they decide on a moat full of gators if it works. Would just one of you dip stick liberals please tell the rest of us Latinophobes why you don't want a secure border?
