    So you're saying that Trump is doing a good thing by passing his

    Piece-meal immigration reform is not comprehensive immigration reform.

    It's a piece of something. Very disappointing, but it's still better than nothing, for me.

    Ilhan Omar doesn't like it either; she said she feels bad for latinos because none of them have any useful skills. I think she'll be pleasantly surprised that many of them will make the grade though.

    Constantly running a car on an empty tank is never going to solve
    the problem.

    Visas for those with skills exist. Not an unlimited number.
    And only good for a certain amount of time.

    When the Republicans had a majority in the House, the Senate
    majority passed a bill for comprehensive immigration reform by
    unanimous consent. The bill was then sent to the House, in
    which the House leadership refused to allow a vote to be held.

    Now that the Democrats have a majority in the House, the
    Senate leadership will never allow a vote to be held if the
    House passes a bill for comprehensive immigration reform.

    That way, Donald Trump can always blame the Nancy Pelosi
    and the Democrats for all his problems, rather than Mitch
    McConnell and the Republicans.

    That is how the Democrats in Kentucky have done it for years and years, but they still never give up.

    Sooner or later the opposition will run out of horsepower
    and the horse without horsepower will actually win. Kind of
    like what happened at the latest run for the roses.
