Open borders: Democrats are not pushing for open borders. There is already a fence throughout most of that region. Building a wall requires huge amounts of money, stealing land from Americans who live there, and disrupting the wildlife that lives there. This is huge costs before we get into how effective it would be. A huge percentage of illegal immigrants aren't going to be stopped by a wall, because they came here legally, they just overstayed. Higher taxes: Democrats like paying for their expenses. They don't tax people, just to tax people. On the other hand, many Republicans raise expenses, and lower taxes. Which in turn leads to large deficits. Take a look at that $20 trillion debt. Kicking republicans out of restaurants: This isn't something all Democrats did. It was one instance. Deciding not to serve someone, who believes that it's okay not to serve someone? That seems like it should be okay. |
The left wants open borders as in allowing unmitigated immigration and to dissolve national borders.
Not that expensive relative to what it would accomplish. Walls work. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/trumps-border-wall-is-standard-practice-in-other-parts-of-the-world It would cut down illegal immigration simply by making it much more difficult to bring your family across.
The dramatic growth of the deficit is the result of Obama's spending. No amount of taxing higher would fix it. It's gonna require cuts to social programs and letting businesses/people make money to whittle away at it. I think Trump should legalize pot but only licensed sellers/growers can sell it.
Actually, dems like Maxine Waters is calling for dems to do worse.
