Apparently, Trump didn't hire the "best people", just the best crooks.

That is not in the spirit of Post Malone.

Post Malone has survived. Hopefully this is a bipartisan moment of joy that we can all use to come together as a nation!

Who, or what, is a Post Malone? Maybe a relative of Karl, The Mailman, Malone, who happens to be a post player? We can use one!

8 out of 10 convictions for Manafort, the remaining 10 can be prosecuted again. Cohen pleads to 8 and said under oath he and Trump committed campaign financing violations together.

Toss in they found Tibbitts today and the suspect is an illegal immigrant. Though the later is bad, this case is in Iowa and not in a sanctuary city nor in a bastion of liberal leadership.

Philadelphia was in the news a week or two ago for being a sanctuary city and an illegal immigrant raping a 5 year old girl

Did you stop reading after that? Look at the sentence that follows that one. Geezus...it's funny I'm talking about reading comprehension during a teaching discussion.

You are taking a chapter from the Trump way of doing things: you claimed that he WAS complaining in one sentence and then claimed in the next sentence that you aren't saying that he complained. At least Trump leaves a longer time gap between his conflicting statements!

I didn't claim he was complaining..you are either just arguing because you cant admit you are wrong or you have a serious reading comprehension problem.

Why in one sentence would I say he was complaining and then the next say he wasnt? That makes zero sense. The first sentence was a general statement I have heard from teachers In the recent past.

All that means is an awful person committed rape like the awful guy in Iowa committed murder. The only viable study that I am aware that compared crime rates of citizens vs. illegals was done by the Cato Institute. They reviewed data from Texas and noted that illegals commit crimes at a clip 40% less than citizens. Trump has you going nuts over something that just isn't that problem you think it is.

the Cato Institute

It warms my heart to see you quoting the Koch family think tank.

Doesn’t surprise me at all that illegals commit less crime than our citizens. Most probably just want to do their jobs and be left alone. That doesn’t change the fact that we still need to do a better job enforcing border security.

So, now that you accept that illegals are committing less crime why is it that you fear them so much?

There are approximately 11M illegals in the country (that is actually decreasing). Of that, Pew stated that about 8M have jobs. 131M Americans work overall, so they make up about 6% of the workforce and 3% of the total population. How can a group that makes up so few of us be such a massive problem that would require this much of our attention?
