It'd be nice to see some of the currant GN'R line-up guesting on Slash's solo album; get Dizzy to contribute a piano part, or Melissa in for a vocal slot or something.

I don’t think that’s on Slash though.

Those are Axl’s hired hands, not Slash’s. Slash had his own band, the Conspirators going for years, why should he include Axl’s hired goons on his own solo stuff?

Especially not Dizzy or the annoyingly out of place blue-haired Jpop princess, Melissa. They belong with Axl’s stupid techno rubbish, not on a straight up guitar rock record.

Fair enough. You don’t care about the border or immigration law. A lot of Americans do, and Donald Trump was primarily elected (not by me remember, I’m the “far right wing Republican” that voted for Clinton) because of his immigration rhetoric. I bet money Congress, to include Democrats, finally does something on immigration before August.

Then you can continue to tell us how you don’t care what the law says, how you’ll support obstructionism at the detriment of people you allegedly care about, because saying “fuck you” to Trump is more important than actually helping people.

I love these conversations, because your posts perfectly represent the “fuck Trump” mentality that much of the left is enamored with. And it’s great to get those arguments solidified and out in the open. Your opinions are your own, but the raw hatred isn’t.

Yes it's true that I see you more than anyone else as the embodiment of a Trump supporter on this board. Even if you did vote for Hillary. You are no where near as critical of Trump as you have been of Obama...so it makes you an easy target.

It is raw hatred...I've never denied that. But even without all of that...I still remain staunch in my stance that 'immigration reform' is the Republicans' Obamacare. All this a-do about putting brown people back where they came from is like ice cream cake. I also remain convinced that this isn't a matter of law or immigration at all...it's as feel good to a sect of the population that I cannot relate to. I believe that whether a Mexican is here legally doesn't matter to many of the Trump supporters. It's just about getting them out by any means necessary.

So I'd say my hatred is well matched.

Anyone see a story last night that Roger Ailes supposed met with Russians in May of 2016 & was offered the dirt on Hillary (hacked emails) for $2mil?

I think I'm starting to piece it all together. Russians proposed the hacked emails for a coupla million, Trump had Michael Cohen payout the money from the Trump Foundation charity bank account, money was exchanged, emails went up onto Wikileaks.

So many crimes in that statement right there, so many.

Democratic policies are to blame for this. They refuse to do anything and celebrated while Obama abused his authority and let anyone without a criminal record stay.

Now people enter our country and recklessly flaunt our laws. So much so they drive with 14 people in an SUV 100+ miles down the interstate.

This needs to end. Pass immigration reform and end this chaos.

If Dems are to blame then why didn't Republicans cooperate with him to create a plan? Oh yea...because they had no interest in policy creation at the time. They were in full on obstruct mode at the time.

All they want to do now is take credit for the policies. They cared nothing about this 4-6 years ago. So forgive me if I have to yawn at this article.

My point basically was...I don't say any empirical evidence that these new immigration polices help anyone...I know it's hurting farmers and landscapers. I see no evidence that it's helping anyone.

I know it makes a certain segment of the population feel good though.

Basically on a list of priorities, immigration 'reform' doesn't even make the top 10 on my priority list.

If you don't understand why keeping economic illiterate migrants from sneaking into our country is important, I don't know what to say.  They've completely changed the demographics of some areas and not for the better.

As Mitch said, got some empirical evidence for that? Otherwise it is just making people feel better.
