  1.  11 bangbang  , the problem with the ports of entry argument is that is for only drugs that get caught. Of course more drugs are caught at ports of entry. The issue is how many come from other parts of the border? If you don't catch them you can't say as no data exist for it.

  2. No one is saying the boarder law will stop everyone. The fact is that it will slow down immigration at open spots allowing us to allocate our resources more. Compare it to this. The tractor did not produce food for everyone ending world hunger, but instead made farming easier so we can produce more food and those who were farmers now work in other jobs in industry.

  3. Chomsky is a fool.

  4.  @koukkoufos2000  , Chomsky is a guy who sounds smart but is actually very ignorant. Take his support for Venezuela until it went to crap, or how he said corporations are oppressive and coercive despite them not having any power at all. Also, Friedman is an economist, Chomsky isn't. They are experts in different fields.

  5.  @koukkoufos2000  , Chomsky did not study economics nor has he ever published any research in a peer reviewed journal in economics. His understanding of economics is, at best, similar to mine. I feel I understand economics well but I will be the first to say that I, in no way, understand it as well as Friedman did. Chomsky studies linguistics, and he has been highly influential in that field. But outside of it he is a guy who sounds smart but isn't. As a highly educated individual like myself I can see right past him.

  7.  @blackflagsnroses6013  , to me the republican party is the moderate one. Describe to me, in details, who they are off the spectrum? Look at the political left and how they are trying to run as far left as possible. Look at AOC and how she is supposed to be the future of the part. The democrats are far left.

  8.  ryne green  , there are experts on both sides.

  9.  @blackflagsnroses6013 , you are making this too easy. To start, Republicans are moderate. If they weren't they would have pushed for major changes when they were in power but didn't. As Ann Coulter said, they vote in republicans to remove the department of education but instead get NCLB. They elected Kavanaugh as a SC justice where the left was concerned about abortion laws but when he had a chance to restrict abortions he voted in favor of planned parenthood. Your one shiny example was Obamacare. Obamacare was not a right wing idea. What the Heritage Foundation came up with was the individual mandate to counter the business mandate. They did not support the business mandate. Also, the individual mandate never was presented for voting and it is highly questionable if many republicans supported it to begin with. By your standard I can easily say the entire democratic party supports Medicare for all because a few right wing think tanks support it and a few democrats proposed it. So do you agree that the democratic party supports Medicare for all?  https://www.politifact.com/punditfact/statements/2013/nov/15/ellen-qualls/aca-gop-health-care-plan-1993/ Read that. I was never laid out how to finance it. It was more or less just words at that point. So no, Obamacare as not a right wing plan. As for you saying "social liberals" are moderates in the developed world, that is completely untrue. I can give you clear examples of how the democratic party is full of radicals 1. They complete refusal to work with Trump on major issues. Look how they treated Kavanaugh. Look at the issue of the wall. Despite Trump giving democrats many deals they refused to pay for his wall despite supporting barriers in the past. Their refusal to work with republicans on the tax law. 2. The media simply attacks Trump on all ends but he keeps gaining support. 3. Clinton refused to rally in swing states and felt she had the election won 4. Politicians like AOC, Bernie, Harris, etc are becoming louder voices where they are as radical as it gets On that last note they are radical. You may say they aren't but here are why there are radicals. They are pushing for major changes to our economy. For example, Medicare for all will drastically change 1/6 of our economy. You say in other nations they are moderates but no politician in other nations are looking to change something that is 1/6 of their economy that much. That is being a radical when you just want to completely overhaul major portions of our economy. Another point is that I assume you are talking about Nordic nations when you talk about developed nations. The reality is that people like Bernie want to raise taxes on the rich, raise the min. wage and centralize the government. Many of those Nordic nations have no min. wage, they have lower corporate taxes, they have more of a flat tax compared to us, they tried a tax on the wealthy but scrapped it. Their system taxes citizens more, not just the rich, and they have less regulations when it comes to businesses where they have more of a free market compared to the US. Bernie and his crowd just cry about taxing the rich and corporations. Watch this video, it is very informative https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQwBA2QlJ3w&t=308s What many on the left wants is nothing like the developed world has. You pull out a few things here and there but ignore details. So again, show me how republicans are right now radicals?

  11. @cso2040 , how about the fake hoaxes that get funded on GoFundMe? Both sides are dumb bud.

  12. Except Trump does have the constitutional authority to do this.

  13. He can't do that as it is highly questionable if climate change is an issue and there is no clear path to solve the issue as is (if it is even an issue).

  14.  @donHooligan  , that is not true, but believe what you want.

  15.  @donHooligan  , yep, and reality and facts are on my side.

  16. The Declaration of Emergency is not unconstitutional. Congress, through constitutional methods, created the law. He has the authority to do that. There is a way for Congress to stop him if needed and the SC can interpret the law based on the case Trump makes.

  17.  mountaingoat1003  , Congress created this law and with that there is a way for Congress to stop him. And even at that the SC has to rule based on the case Trump makes. The law is vague thus it literally becomes and issue by issue situation.

  18.  @Squidwardsclarinet69  , the wall is a drop in the bucket compared to overall costs. Also, no one is saying that a wall will stop all immigration. Your argument as this point is an all or nothing argument. If some immigration reform does not stop all immigration than we should not do it. This is why people say the left wants open borders.

  19.  @Squidwardsclarinet69  , offer aid to help out Mexico? It isn't that easy.

  20.  @Squidwardsclarinet69  , what nations are we toppling leaders of? Also, the fact is that the left does support open borders. The cost of a wall is essentially nothing, especially compared to how the left wants to spend, and can allow us to allocate our resources to lower illegal immigration across the border. The left has no argument against the wall thus they support open borders.

  21. Trump has the Constitutional authority to do this.

  22.  @dive_bomb3r  , solving healthcare is not as clear. All Trump wants is a cheap wall. Healthcare is 1/6 of our economy.

  23.  Matt Alibozek  , one can easily argue there is an emergency.
