11. No national Democratic politicians have called for any legislation or policies that could ever lead to "Open Borders." This is important. Any politician or media figure who uses the term "open borders" is lying. The Bible calls that "bearing false witness."

12. They are never going to build a wall across thousands of miles of desert, rivers and forests, private and commercial property - while forcing Americans to give up their land under eminent domain law. Wall fans are arguing for big govt to seize private American property.

13. The wall will not stop undocumented immigration. Ladders and shovels are things that will still exist. As will America's giant "Help Wanted" sign.

14. People who support stealing migrant children are legally still allowed to call themselves Christian. They are not.

15. America has crumbling roads, bridges, a deliberately underfunded public school system, neglected infrastructure and an underfunded VA. A guy who's hired undocumented workers wants $5billion to keep undocumented workers from coming here for work. It's all a scam.

16. Trump promised his supporters that Mexico would pay for the wall. He promised you,
#MAGA. Many times. Now he literally wants you to pay for his own broken promise. (And the majority of 2016 voters rejected it, 74 million total (HR & 3rd parties) vs. DT's 62 million)Show this thread -
17. The majority of Americans still oppose the wall. They know it's expensive, bigoted, stupid and won't work. The majority of Americans don't hate America.

18. Undocumented immigration has dropped to a 12-year low. There is no 'crisis' and you have been lied to:https://www.cbsnews.com/news/undocumented-immigrants-in-united-states-drop-lowest-in-12-years-2018-11-28/ …

19. Trump did not pay federal taxes for years and committed tax fraud to avoid paying the taxes that you paid, which he now seeks to misuse. https://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/10/us/politics/donald-trump-taxes.html …https://www.vox.com/2018/10/3/17932216/donald-trumps-tax-returns …

20. Fear of "illegals" is a scam designed to get alarmed FOX news viewers to vote for an agenda centered on more tax cuts for very rich people, who don't need more tax cuts.

Bonus #21. If you don't like our drug war refugees from Central American drug war violence seeking asylum in America then stop supporting the drug war.

Bonus #22. It's Jesus' birthday so here's his take. From Matthew 25, which modern RW evangelicals seriously need to read: "For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in,"

Trumpf’s partner-in-Russian-collusion-crimes-coverup, Devon Nunes, has a family farm operated by undocumented workers. W/o them, farm would fail. Wonder if the ICE men shall cometh.

Employment centers, aka contract labor-for-hire companies , create a way for businesses to avoid the responsibility of hiring undocumented workers. Places like Trump Tower, Trump Taj Mahal Casinos, Trump National Golf Courses used to use these sources of cheap labor.

Nah, it’s the same with the “draft dodging” thing. He’s put himself in a position to change it for the better and he’s doing it. What have you done lately?! Nothing but whine and bitch while collecting a paycheck to do it.
