.....

For now, many Republican members are just hoping that the delegation from Mexico can reach an alternative deal to stop the tariffs, a notion underscored by McConnell in his comments to reporters.
"We had an opportunity at lunch to talk to a number of representatives of the White House about this particular strategy," he said. "I think I can safely say most of us hope that this Mexican delegation is coming to discuss the challenges at the border and what the Mexicans might be able to do to help us more than they have, will be fruitful" and tariffs won't be imposed."
Asked if the GOP-led Senate would block the move, he demurred.
"What I'm telling you is that we're hoping that doesn't happen and we appreciated the opportunity -- we spent almost our entire lunch talking to representatives of the White House about his issue," McConnell said. "I know the Mexican delegation is here. Apparently, these talks are going well and I our hope is that the tariffs will be avoided, and we will not have to answer the hypothetical."

"An Appalling Display!" Lou Dobbs Goes Off on So-Called Republicans in US Senate

President Trump took a swipe Tuesday night at Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., who said he believes Trump ultimately will back down on the threat of tariffs on all goods coming into the U.S. from Mexico.
“Can you imagine Cryin’ Chuck Schumer saying out loud, for all to hear, that I am bluffing with respect to putting Tariffs on Mexico. What a Creep. He would rather have our Country fail with drugs & Immigration than give Republicans a win. But he gave Mexico bad advice, no bluff!” Trump tweeted.

No, I would oppose his use of delegated powers for bad purposes and I would call for Congress to revoke the delegation.

I would support Trump's use of delegated powers for good purposes and oppose it for bad purposes meanwhile I would support Rand if he called for Congress to revoke the delegation and I would eventually call for the revocation if we fixed all the problems the delegated powers could be used to fix and/or got a better Congress that would fix the problems themselves.

They would use fake news to drown out the "bad purposes" label. They would say you are unamerican for not wanting to defend the country. They would say you are siding with the terrorists or even call you a Russian agent. You have to have checks and balances otherwise people lose their representation in government and the other side gets to do whatever they want if they get in power. This is the fundamental reason why the tea party came about, because we didn't want a dictator. Its one thing if the congress can't override, that would mean that its the will of the people. Its an entirely different thing for you to say we should have a dictator because the left had a dictator. I thought we had stopped this shit by helping Trump get elected. I wont support Trump as a dictator or any other president dictator.

I said I would support an effort to withdraw the delegations right now, I just wouldn't start one myself until we undo the damage the enemy has done with them.

Something tells me illegal immigration isn't going to stop anytime soon.

Only when the US is the most undesirable place in the world to live. Should that be a goal?

That is not required to stop the invasion but that is what the invasion will cause.

The goal should be for other countries to desire to be more like the United States, not for all of their citizens that want their country to be more like the United States to come here because that's easier than fixing their own country.

You would have to stop all travel into and out of the US to bring it to zero. Half of the people currently in the country illegally came here legally- on a work permit, to attend school, vacation, and did not leave when their visas ran out.

Who said it had to be brought to zero?

That old trick won't work.

So you don't favor stopping all illegal immigration. Are you for open borders?

More stupid tricks.

The borders are nearly wide open and millions of invaders are already here while millions more are on the way, YOU want to keep it that way, I want reasonable measures to stop as much as possible.

According to a June 4 report in El Financiero, military police officers in Chiapas state in southern Mexico have set up 12 new checkpoints in conjunction with other federal, state and local security forces. Eight of these roadblocks are on along about 150 kilometers (about 93 miles) of highway between the Suchiate crossing at Mexico's border with Guatemala and the town of Mapastepec.

The security reinforcements come along one of the main routes traversed by migrants traveling into Mexico from Guatemala.

"If you do not favor stopping all child rape, you are pro child rape", that is what you are trying to say. You look stupider every day.

"If you are against Trump's wall you are for open borders!" is just as silly.

Good heavens almighty. As if Trump couldn't get more disappointing.

This is going to have a nasty impact on auto prices and auto-parts costs.

Will probably hit some electrical machinery too.

Just what we need, right now, an even bigger squeeze on the middle class while making the working poor in Mexico even more poor.

The most disturbing thing, throughout all of this, is this demonstrates how fragile free trade is, and how quickly it can go south.

Mercantalism really never died; it just hid for a while.

And you have morons on here praising him knocking their knee caps off as if it were a gift. The Cult has to praise the Dear Leader.

We know that is their goal. Make the US into a 3rd world shit-hole.

I know illegal immigrants who speak English better than you. For example, they know the definition of "invade," which you apparently do not.

Then again, maybe idiocy isn't the problem. You being a troll whose job is the purposeful spread of propaganda, your destruction of the language is probably purposeful.
