And don't say child separations. That's bull shite and not Trump's fault. That's the 9th Circuit's fault.

Everything that could stop illegals from getting into the country.

How can an 8 month pregnant woman scale a 20 foot wall and drop an anchor baby? You are sexist, racist, and a few other "ists" you cold bastard.

I'm not a Democrat, but Ill answer your question, "besides the wall, what are your objections to Trump's immigration policy?" by saying, I don't object to Trump's policy, I object to Trump not really having a policy beyond building the wall.

off the top of my head, i thought his stance on the dreamers was pretty stupid. he was vilifying the types of productive citizens we want in this country.

If you are an American citizen all of Trump policies are mostly beneficial. Some neutral but mostly beneficial.

Democrats, the left and MSM are really sick of winning. They really hate it.

Dems object to an immigration policy period. They are 100% for open borders.

Cuts to legal immigration hurt economic growth. At a time with record low birth rates we need to increase immigration, not decrease it.

Economic growth is not directly related to population growth if you are discussing per capita

Under your logic, small nations in Western Europe should be poor because of their small population. That is not the case because the economic goods and services are spread among smaller group of people.

When people come here seeking asylum, they should be processed and admitted legally.

Legal immigration numbers should be expanded.

DACA should be made permanent and legal.

A path to citizenship should be made available to anyone in the US as long as they have not committed a felony after they came here.

When you have a large segment of your population retiring and collecting benefits you better increase the number of workers and/or dramatically increase worker efficiency. We cant just sit back and tread water with the baby boomers retiring.

You are forgetting one thing though: working age labparticipation is still way too low. We have a huge potential labor pool already. They should get first dibs imo

Focus on training them for needed jobs should be priority

You aren't factoring in our terrible labor participation rate nor the fact that automation is going to fricking decimate jobs in this country.

The lack of a cohesive strategy to go along with the rhetoric. The divisiveness of the delivery. The dog whistles.

Pretty much this.

You could have just answered "open borders" and saved a lot of time.

Other than vigorously enforcing laws already on the books and clamping down on terrorist infiltration?
