This video is very recent, but the original 2016 Politico Opinion piece by Matthew MacWilliams, referenced in it, is attached. Comments encouraged..

.btw, my take...what's going on is pure Populism, which our Founding Fathers were aware of, and deeply concerned about. Different opinions are normal and expected, but we ALL need to live with the consequences of decisions made on them. Case in point...Immigration and Border Security...for all of our history, we've relied on Congress to write laws that deal with this issue...even Trump, in 2019, called on Congress to FINALLY fix those problems...since only Congress can provide the funding and rules/laws that endure. Yet, in 2024 when Republican and Democrat Senators achieved a shared solution, which significantly exceeded what DJT had asked for, he Killed it...ostensibly to preserve his #1 election issue. Then, once elected, rather than follow up on his earlier request...he's gone 'Full On' Authoritarian with hundreds of Executive Orders, and many of them Immigration/Border Security related. This is not the way our Democracy was intended for.

        LOL...still no substance regarding any issue being discussed...that's called "Trolling"... [NT] - TyroneIrish - 4:26pm 9/1/25
  - Very true. Cue the hysterical “authoritarian” nonsense and bold proclamations of utter bullshit. [NT] - Hensou - 1:19pm 9/1/25
  - Having differences of opinion is normal and expected...but a well functioning Democracy has - TyroneIrish - 1:10pm 9/1/25
    - Sadly, your side isn’t tolerant in any way of opposing views b/c it is their religion [NT] - LanceManion - 2:10pm 9/1/25

        The provisions of the bipartisan Senate Immigration and Border Security Bill exceeded what DJT asked [LINK] - TyroneIrish - 3:55pm 9/1/25
        It is a glow in the dark example of a piece of shit bill that did not pass. - Hensou - 4:01pm 9/1/25
        The Bill didn't pass because it would have eliminated DJT's #1 election issue, and given Biden a win [LINK] - TyroneIrish - 4:23pm 9/1/25
        You keep repeating yourself. To no avail. [NT] - Hensou - 7:28pm 9/1/25

        The bill did not pass. Harris lost the election. [NT] - Hensou - 8:05pm 9/1/25
        That has never been in dispute...the salient question is...WHY didn't it pass? Trump called on - TyroneIrish - 11:35pm 9/1/25
        It didn't pass because it was a worthless bill. You've already lost this debate repeatedly. [NT] - jakers - 11:35am 9/2/25
        I have substantive evidence supporting the bill...all you've provided is your personal opinion... - TyroneIrish - 12:09pm 9/2/25
