That is why voters are now football (soccer) hooligans ;-(  That is not as true in the British system.  In America, we are like China/Russia, with cults of personality, like ... the only person that matters on the football (american) team is the quarterback.

It is in the interest of the Dem party to keep the future voters coming in.

Except they are incorrect.  It is the Leftist Latins who stay home, it is the Rightist Latins who emigrate.  See Miami.

According to Cavebear they, (migrants) are all decent hard working professionals, engineers, doctors, teachers.

America needs them badly.

I think Honduras needs them even more to rebuild their failed nation.

Except the emergency declaration harms the nation by taking money away from other vital programs, particularly from Puerto Rico relief funds (which, as you may remember, the president didn't give a shit about even though it was one the largest natural disasters in American history) and spends that money on something that won't even do a lick of good.

Bigot?

Don't forget xenophobe, islamophobe, racist, far right, fascist, white supremacist.
Literally.

Alas, not a Trump supporter, not being an American.

MAGA!

remember how I said you need to look beyond your back garden because you don't seem to view the world outside of how it works in america, I didn't literally believe you think everyone lives there.

House voted to block the emergency declaration today.
Senate has 18 days to vote on it by law (McTurtleface can't block it).

If it passes (and it's expected to), Trump will have to issue his first veto.
If it fails, it dies in the Senate.

So far, three GOP Senators came out in support: Murkowski (R-AK), Collins (R-ME), and Tillis (R-NC).

Still, plenty of time for Cornyn to whip votes and avoid embarrassing Trump.

Sure would be nice if Republicans cared more about the welfare of the country than keeping their Idiot-in-Chief from looking like a moron. But nope. Let's waste hundreds of billions of dollars of tax payer money on a useless wall.

Typical American parochialism.  He needs to watch more British media.

They don't.  All politicians are predators.  It is human nature.

MAGA!

Yeah, Make America Gulag Archipelago

The declaration will stand no matter what, because the president has veto power and we do not have 2/3 in each Chamber of Congress to overturn veto.

The question with respect to Senate vote:
How worried are GOP Senators about their re-election prospects in 2020, and what role will that play in their decision whether to vote yay or nay on the bill?

[Unbeliever]

The real questions are: how much in bribes did GOP senators take, and/or how were their family members threatened?

[Baruch]

Yeah, Make America Gulag Archipelago

No, Uigher reeducation camp style ... we imitate out Chinese masters, not those Russian losers.
