OPINION:
Congress failed to counter President Trump’s border-wall plan with a comprehensive proposal that would put an end to protecting and rewarding millions of illegal immigrants for usurping our jobs, benefits and hospitality.
The fact that so many of our congressional representatives are supporting trade and immigration policies that are at odds with the interests of the American people and the country is truly alarming and dispiriting.
The “1 percent” may be able to finance and help propagandize campaigns, but average Americans have the votes to overturn this system, by and for supply-side billionaires, if they exercise common sense and resist billionaire-owned media propaganda.
As the old saying goes, you can’t fool all of the people all the time. Congratulations to the president for sticking to his guns. It’s too bad he cannot curtail the exorbitant benefits Congress voted to give themselves and then fire many of them for their malfeasance.
