>Can we just re-establish some context? Are you saying it's INSANE to hold illegal aliens accountable for their illegal status? As opposed to celebrating them, calling them DREAMERS and treating them like martyrs?

It's INSANE to define people who are trying to make a living in the only way they know as criminals.
Of course they're breaking the law. They don't need us to tell them that.

If the Dems have any sense, they'll cooperate and negotiate and won't try to betray him like Durbin did last time. Though Trump is wily enough to know the old saying "Durbin me once, shame on you. Durbin me twice, shame on me."

If the Dems have any sense they'll nominate a candidate who can win.
