Amnesty
Daniel Horowitz, a conservative writer, an op-ed for The Blaze denouncing the bill after it came out, noting that its complexities and the rush to pass it pose many dangers for the president ...
On Twitter, he argued that the legislation is actually the worst amnesty bill ever, arguing that provisions will allow undocumented immigrants to stay in the country by sponsoring unaccompanied minors.
Local Vetos
Writing for the National Review, Mark Krikiorian, the executive director of the anti-immigrant Center for Immigration Studies, argued that the bill itself will offer a veto to localities if they dont want border walls built on their land.
And which party controls all local government in South Texas? Go ahead, look it up, Ill wait, he wrote. Rio Grande City is the least Democratic community in the area, and even there voters supported Hillary Clinton in 2016 by more than three to one.
Ann Coulter has her own ideas There's no coming back from this. No "emergency" or presidential powers will allow him to build the wall, ever, after he signs this bill
I have no ideas what shes going on about.
The fact is, wishful thinking or orthwise, Wingnuts think Trump might be having second thoughts.

(32,086 posts)The joke's on you, Mr. Horowitz, et. al. You have been being conned by a con man all along. You're just too stupid to realize that your Dear Leader is nothing but a monkey with a machine gun. You have been handing him the bullets, and now he's pulling the trigger. Now you're seeing the results, so STFU.
