Immigration reform is at the forefront of this nation’s problems. Sanctuary cities need to be punished, the wall needs to be built, illegals deported, and stricter immigration vetting legislated and enforced.
Solving this problem would concurrently help to solve the nation’s drug epidemic, the entitlement abuses, and the national debt.

I hesitate to choose just 1 because they are all equally important in my opinion. They all need to be worked on now even though none will be solved this year. Starting now will give Congress time to come up with good plans (we can only hope) rather than last minute. I don’t think we should tackle immigration just before the mid term election unless there can be positive outcome on the DACCA solution. This is too hot an issue.

Well both Ryan and McConnell have said that from their perspective, any major legislative push, on any issue, would have to wait until AFTER the mid terms. Which in their world means next year. As both explained, members of Congress will be devoting their time to getting re-elected. So much for being able to multi-task and advance the President’s and the people’s agenda. Just an FYI.
As for President Trump, obviously he is able to multi-task and is willing to pursue ALL these issues. He has already specified to Congress, on multiple occassions, what he expects in any legislation Congress sends to him for his signature. The bottlenecks to date with respect to healthcare reform (full repeal of Obamacare), immigration reform (getting the wall fully funded and built, as well as addressing illegal sanctuary cities and other moving us towards merit based immigration), infrastructure, and reduction of national debt (not a repeat of the Demicrst spending bill Ryan and McConnell gave Trump last week) have all been due to either Congressional inaction / stalling or Congress simply NOT wanting to enact Trump’s agenda.
Congress wasted 8 months of 2017 NOT repealing Obamacare. McConnell continues to refuse to eliminate the filibuster rule. So getting any of the other issues listed resolved via the Senate is a non-starter given the Democrats want the exact opposite of what President Trump and those that voted for him want.
The people need to eliminate every Republican that is NOT a fiscal or constitutional conservative from Congress that is up for re-election this year via the primary process. The House Freedom Caucus, which is the group in the House that has consistently voted for the Trump agenda needs to be greatly expanded, so Ryan is forced to draft and pass fiscally and constitutionally conservative bills through the House. On the Senate side, the same has to be done via the RINO Senators up for re-election. Also the people of Kentucky need to launch an emergency recall petition for McConnell to get him out altogether. That way the Governor of the state can appoint a much more conservative Senator to handle the balance of McConnell’s term (4 more years). Yes, it involves effort on everyone’s part, but that is what it takes if you actually want the President to have a chance at succeeding with YOUR AGENDA.
Have a nice weekend.

Healthcare reform for those on Medicare is one. Then when dealing with the opiate crisis have mercy on those with intractable pain diseases and grant them the pain relief they need and deserve. Not all people taking pain medicine are addicts. In fact most are not. The bigger crisis is the suicides resulting from pain patients who cannot get the medicine they need and have no hope.

These issues are nearly equally important, and none should be ignored by prioritizing some higher or lower than others. Two key issues that affect other issues and all US citizens are illegal immigration and repeal of the ACA. We cannot exercise our Constitutional Liberties if we are burdened financially by health care costs and benefits paid to ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT ALIEN TRESPASSERS. We cannot expect ‘Life’ if we cannot afford healthcare and are exposed to MS-13 gangs roaming our streets, especially in Sanctuary cities. Congress needs to address ALL of the issues listed, with the national debt being a by-product of many of the other issues.

All items above necessarily will go toward reducing the national debt, not the annual deficit, but the total debt owed by the United States government. Just as Germany was crippled and economically destroyed after WWI by reparations, we are crippled with a national debt of similar proportions. Everything done by the previous administration has the effect of both weakening us, nationally and internationally, and strengthening the power our opponents have over us. Name one thing done in the previous 8 years that made the US stronger. Build the wall. Throw out the illegals, all of them. Reduce the burdens on the taxpayers. Strengthen our defense. Create profitable and beneficial jobs here, not overseas. Stop throwing away money on economically absurd and losing projects. We are in a fight that will get much worse before we either win or are crushed. Peace through strength is more than a fluffy motto; it is as statement of fact in a violent world headed for an amazing war.

Both entitlement and immigration reform first. Don’t mind having controlled (vetted) immigration and helping the truly needy but both are way out of hand thanks to the left. Get those back to where immigrants are vetted properly and welfare is back to the original plan of 6 months only and the pie in the sky garbage of free college and other nonsensical social programs are back in control. Then use the monies gained for Americans. Pay the debt down the RINOs have allowed the Dems to increase, for one, build the wall and man it. Get off this clownish game of SS and Medicare being “entitlements” since we are taxed our working life to pay for them. Make congress repay the monies they stole from the programs. Get those off who never paid into the programs. AND that’s just for starters.

Just like other polls we receive often, many from Congressional Republicans and some from President Trump’s chosen leaders for his reelection campaign, you don’t ask what we think is most important. You only give us a closed list. We need to include things that are not on the list. My first choice here would be “none of the above.” You know in that old Richard Prior movie from back in the eighties or early nineties. The one where a candidate (Richard Prior) gets elected because he doesn’t have a cookie cutter campaign list out there for the voters to choose him on.

The last president in office was able to get away with performing and making policies almost on a whim and unchallenged. Now that Trump is in office and was put there by the American people, he seems to have issues getting anything passed without meeting resistance. Seriously if any of the objectives of the elected government are to be met and completed, then the setup will have to be changed and allow what really needs to be done a system that can and will do the job. Also, like I learned as a child in the south, if you don’t have anything nice to say or if you just want to create chaos for chaos sake, then sit down on your hands and keep your mouth shut!

The real answer is a budget. Congress’ primary duty for which they rarely accomplish because they do not possess the proper skills to accomplish – being statesmen and women focused on the needs of the country rather than their personal power and wealth. The oft repeated dramatic creations of deadlines for continous resolutions and omnibus spending bills do nothing more than provide talking points for tv shows while our country is spending itself to ruin. We are following the same path of the previously fallen powerful nations. God has provided us many blessings in the past – when we began to believe our country does not need God, he will turn from us to have do as we see fit. Here is an explanation for the current chaos in Romans 1:28 “And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done.”

Securing the border is my top priority. And I don’t mean “Immigration Reform” because that idea quickly is reduced to the tired and stale “Comprehensive Immigration Reform” which devolves into a massive all-inclusive amnesty program, followed by voting rights and entitlements to 20 million ILLEGALS that will never become law. I mean SECURE THE BORDER first. Period. It it takes a wall, BUILD A WALL. Once the border is thought to be secure, test it, evaluate it for at least a year and study the data to be sure its doing what it’s supposed to do to keep 300 thousand ILLEGALS from invading our country every year. In the meantime, we must ensure that all laws on the books dealing with the flow of immigrants into our country are being followed. Then, and only then, do we address the problem of which ILLEGALS are entitled to what “free stuff” provided from the hard working taxpayers of our country, and for how long.
