They won't be violent. Not that they are, just he thinks that they are.

Yes, they do need jobs. I suggest we offer them jobs picking vegetables in California, since we have a shortage of Mexican vegetable pickers right now. Bilingual applicants only.

it would pass, something we have wanted to do for long time.

He needs something positive and that is one of the few things we all agree on.

Be interesting to see how he wants to pay for it and have tax cuts at same time...

Or maybe it was "believe" rather than "imagine."

Either way, bullshit!

Do not forget that he has created agriculture jobs by deporting or detaining foreign workers. Oh, yeah, do not forget the ones who just quit going to work in order to not be found. I see all of his followers flocking to those jobs that they said were taken away from them. I see it now, 10 jobs will be available and only 2 of his followers will apply while the others will be those they hate and they will still claim their jobs are still being taken. No, you idiots your jobs are not being taken you just have to get off your lazy fat ass and apply for it and when you get it you have to actually work. I say this because where I live I have met people who say this but they are not out looking. I laughed at some guy a couple of years ago who was disabled and could not work again but complained about the Mexicans taking the jobs he should be getting. Figure that one out.
