    The Tea party did far worse.
    They sold people an illusion that even Ronald Reagan would not have accepted.
    Or are calling him a lefty too?

    And so in order to state your case you use a source that is entirely partisan? I also didn't mention murder rate, I didn't specify what crime was committed.

    In the process of deporting? They forgot to tell Kate Steinle's family because the guy who shot her was released from federal prison into one of our sanctuary cities, to read: not deported, when he should've been, and there are a plethora of other examples of this same thing. How many are fooled into thinking they deport every illegal they release from prison/jail?

    Care to cite a non-partisan source there's only 7.3% illegals in our prison population? I mean, I'm willing to concede if you can present a credible source, but politifact won't convince me, their accuracy is questionable. Besides I wasn't sourcing Tom Tancredo, but the GAO.

    Edit: My bad, it's wasn't a third, it was 27% of non-US citizens who take up space in our prisons. Although I'm willing to concede there likely is less since many were released into our communities early before their sentences were up due to overcrowding. So the data may very well be inaccurate.

    I would agree illegal aliens have driven down the prevailing wages in industries that previously paid a decent wage where Americans could live somewhat comfortably. I'd love nothing better than to see companies fined big time for hiring illegals. If some were made an example out of, we'd see illegals self deporting. We'll have to see what happens in coming months. However, I predict there's going to be some house cleaning in the DOJ, INS and several other agencies tasked to enforce the laws of this land. We sure don't need any new laws, just enforcement of the ones we have.

    Oh, and thanks for the insults too, I do appreciate it. It helps to keep things in their proper perspective.

    So what does he and his family have to gain from his position as president that they do not already have?

    My father was a large real estate developer, worked 18 hours a day when he had to.

    But after many years once he felt he was in a comfortable position to raise and take care of us 8 kids he relaxed.

    All the money in the world is worthless if you don't have the time to relax and enjoy it.

    40 years ago, as a kid ,my father influenced upon me the responsibility of being the President of the most powerful country in the world.

    Nothing glamorous about it. Just a huge headache.

    I can't imagine going to sleep at night knowing that a couple 100 million people are counting on you .

    And lately , another couple hundred million people are waging war against your ideals of what you feel will lead the country to peace and success .

    I don't recall who it was but, someone earlier used Breitbart as a source. Sorry, that box was opened but once you use something as partisan as that you can't go back.

    And lets not forget, you called BBC partisan yourself. Which is an absolute joke.

    He walked away from his businesses, he's just letting the kids handle things for a while. Right? And I bet you believe that too.

    And your right. Being an ex-president isn't lucrative at all. What world do you actually live in?

    I won't even get into his ego. That's too much low hanging fruit right there.

    All you ever have is hot air with no real facts.

    So answer the question.

    What does Trump and his family have to gain from being President?

    I grew up in a element of wealth, went to school with children that had body guards because of it.

    Spent 10 years as a personal carpenter and friend of a Billionare couple.

    There is a lot of downsides to being that wealthy also.

    How often do you read of his Extravagances other than his personal apartment in New York and the bang up job he did on the historical Mar Largo estate in Florida?

    You don't

    Being ex-president was never a lucrative position until Gore and The Clinton's made it one.

    Funny how the old Clinton Foundation isn't doing so well now that Hillary didn't win the election.

    There have always been ways to bring farm workers over legally. They used to get permits to bring whole crews up in buses. There are estimates of over 2 million undocumented workers in Los Angles County. I would be surprised if more than 5000 of them are any kind of "farm worker". Small factories, restaurants, Lawn Service, Construction (union and non-union). Plenty of places Americans USED to work until cheap illegal labor drove the wages down. A lot of non-union construction paid $10-12 per hour in the early 70's (framers, dry-wallers, stucco, concrete, etc.), you'd be lucky to get that today with the cheap labor force in L.A., not to mention the lack of pride in workmanship.
