Since the media won't ask. I'd like to know the Republican plan to fix immigration?

America is without comprehensive immigration policy because of republicans. Period. So again, if republicans are going to lie about it, and blame POTUS, surely they have a plan that solves the problem. Right?

It still flabbergasts me that TFG's first two years in the WH, he had the House and the Senate majorities and none of them could come up with anything cohesive legislatively. All the things they railed about-- Obamacare, immigration, on and on and they accomplished nothing. The thing they did get was right wing judges and that will hurt us for a long time but had they had their act together at all they could have done even worse. They are loudmouth nothingburgers. Sad for the country.

The passed his tax bill without CBO scoring. As little as they did, they had an extra vote to NOT have information..or let the public find out about it.

Fear wins with the mouth breathers. Every time a Democrat is in charge the famous migrant caravan, open borders and cartel scare is front page news. On a scale this barely is a 1. But look at Italy, it elected an fascist government and let’s not kid ourselves, it could happen here.

The only plans they have are to lie, cheat, and steal from the American people. Same as always.

Their backers want illegal, cheap labor to exploit, while still being able to fearmonger the base with replacement conspiracies.

Any republican what they would do to fix it. They ask the Democratic lawmakers all the time. We have comprehensive plans; including a path to citizenship. The only reason it is not the law of the land, is republicans.
Republicans are obstructionists. Their actual plans for America include bombing democracy to the ground.

Just "close the border", "build a wall", "keep everyone out"...

Do you expect them to have a real plan?
