I want fully loaded Single Payer Health Care
I also want Gun Control laws and Roe V Wade off the table forever.
You agree to that, I'll agree to a beautiful Wall - that Mexico will pay for (as per Donny's Douche'bag's promises)

I think Single-Payer Health Care is absolutely going to happen, but I think it's a decade or so away. Immigration Control is going to have to be figured out before that, because if not, simple math dictates that we're going to have more consumption of it than we have money to pay for it. We cannot have one without the other. I think both are feasible, but it's going to take some time to get the Immigration issue agreed upon and then let the Health Insurance industry and all other private healthcare businesses settle out.
I don't think Roe v. Wade is going to be on the table. I don't see it. I'm really not sure why the hard-core pro-choice types are so worried about this.
As for gun control laws, what is it you want to see, specifically? It's hard to see this country ever going to a gun ban, but I don't think that's what most reasonable types want. What do you propose?
That all makes sense to me.
I do have some thoughts about immigration. Since we are seriously heading toward European population replenishment rates among our citizens, I think increased immigration is probably a good thing. It surely makes no sense to have it be illegal, but I think we could use levels of legal immigration that are comparable to what our illegal rate is. That's just a hunch and I am willing to listen to counterpoints. Also, and this is probably not much of anything, but I like the fact that our illegal immigrants are probably quite a bit more religious than the average American. We are actually importing Catholicism. Central and South Americans are essentially our core culture. Our secularized citizenry is being replaced by Catholics.
That is way different than the situation in Europe, where secularized Christians are being replaced with immigrants of a completely different religious tradition.
I agree on Roe v. Wade. I'd like some baby steps gun control. Since there is no real harm in getting it wrong (at least temporarily), I'd be in favor of trying some things to see how they work out.

And I agree with you on our Latin immigrants. I much prefer importing them vs. those hostile to western culture and values. We just need to manage how we do it and how we agree to pay for it.

a while?
Without the latter group this country can’t function properly
Have they been working or studying? Let's get them a path behind those on a legal waitlist.
Are they just soaking up welfare in a state like Florida that pays assistance to illegals? Yeah, the country will function fine without them.
get preferential treatment.
Make your budget request, then let's have a budget resolution.
Single Payer system, Gun Control, Roe v Wade as an untouchable.
An ass is someone who wants to hold US citizens hostage for a silly wall that fortifies nothing (think bridge to nowhere) and will act only as a selfish monument to intolerance and hate.
You want the wall, compromise! SPS, Gun Control laws, Roe V Wade
It's a win, win.

to have it built.
2019 should be absolutely fantastic on the Open Forum!
Then I changed it to something that was, perhaps, too subtle.
What I meant was “don’t call names, stick to your substantive points.” Cole- that was for you.
New Year’s resolution for me: Less public involvement, private messages as needed.
