He keeps coming back to immigration….
Over and OVER….
Never mind the illegality in his campaign, election and current fight with Congress…
Never mind his singlehanded effort to wage an economic war with the rest of world….
Never mind his shutting down the government…
Never mind he is in fact raising taxes for American consumers…
Donald Trump is trying to play his old game of blaming someone ELSE as he goes about his underhanded actions which at times are illegal…
He is betting that American voters are stupid enough to let get a second chance at messing things up in country and around the world…
And having us pay for it while we stand on the sidelines afraid to kick and American President out of office…
But?
Democrats seem lost on the issue….
They have NOT gone back directly at Trump on his other policies and what they would do about immigration allowing Trump to keep the issue alive in the media …
(Joe Biden…The Democratic front runner ,IS gonna Have to address this, sooner or later…)
Trump has shut down the government, declared a national emergency over his proposed border wall, threatened to close the U.S.-Mexico border, cut off funding for Northern Triangle countries, sent additional troops to the border, fired his top immigration officials, selected an immigration “czar,” pitched an overhaul of the legal immigration system and called for releasing immigrant detainees into so-called sanctuary cities.
On Thursday, he ratcheted up the pressure again by threatening to slap tariffs as high as 25 percent on all goods imported from Mexico — a move that risks harming the economy and undermining a trade deal he had been championing as a potential legislative achievement under divided government.
The wave of border policies flowing from the White House offers a clear signal that Trump’s reelection bid is likely to focus on immigration more than any other topic — a cause that animates his base but also highlights his failure to contain the flow of Central American migrants coming to the United States in record numbers.
“He certainly believes that immigration is a key issue that got him elected and, looking at the 2020 election, he’s trying to show that he’s trying to do something,” said Theresa Brown, a former policy official at the Department of Homeland Security who works at the Bipartisan Policy Center. “He knows that the situation that people are seeing every day shows that he’s not been successful. He has not secured the border.”
For a president who won an electoral college victory in 2016 based on a hard-line immigration message and a promise to make the Mexican government fund construction of a border wall, Trump’s latest gambit is an attempt to cover for the lack of progress on a signature campaign pledge, Brown said.
At the same time, many Democratic presidential candidates have struggled with how to respond. Most have sharply criticized Trump’s immigration rhetoric and approach, including the administration’s policy last year of separating children from their parents and the humanitarian conditions surrounding the deaths in recent months of Central American children in U.S. custody….

Sure he’s going to keep coming back to it.
His Cult loves all that rabble rousing he does at those Hatefests (rallies) where he pours out his lies and venom as the rabble hoots it up.
And we are told that we need to “understand “ these “good people concerned about their country.”
I laid out my immigration views here a few days ago.
But I do “understand” these people and that’s the problem,,,
I “understand “them.
I gave mine also….
But I expect nothing to be done…
