    what probably happened is no jobs... Mexicans went back to Mexico

    want to end illegal immigration for after those hiring them, make it a felony with a mandatory term and confiscation of their property, like someone caught dealing drugs

    You mean like when Trump warned the nation in his SOTU speech that Nancy Pelosi tore up? You mean like when he advocated for halting flights from China when Pelosi and the leftist news media claimed he was overreacting and labeled him a racist?

    Pelosi gave Trump 8 billion to fight Corona when Trump only requested 2 billion, how did Trump spend that money?

    Sorry, are you actually saying that the Trump administration cannot take credit for arming the Ukrainians?

    I have thought about this lately. No living generation in the U.S has experienced a genuine struggle for survival on a national scale since the greatest generation. Tough times make people less interested in gay hippie bullshit and more in touch with what is most important; family, security, and some type of faith. Which Way Western Man?

    I'd be fine with this. We ought to collaborate and build some truly impressive physical barriers. All in the name of keeping them safe, of course.

    Since the data shows the US has done the worst job in the developed world in handling the virus Mexico does have a lot to fear from our Kakistocracy.

    "Trump deaths" <--- what a pathetic attempt at politicization. Might as well call them Cuomo deaths, eh?

    What "data" are you referring to? The number of confirmed cases? That's a good indication of a widespread testing regime, not a failure. On the number of deaths, we still have fewer total deaths than Italy and Spain, and on a per-capita basis we've got a lower death rate than a whole slew of European countries.

    Zero? Unlike Obama who started wars for obscure reasons, Trump has not. Unlike Obama, Trump is not a warmonger. But thanks for asking.

    Wrong answer. 100,000- 250,000 just from the virus alone. And we won’t even count the death from his efforts to get rid of Obamacare and replace it with Darwinism.

    And no question that Trump has totally messed up our opportunities with North Korea and made Iran much more likely to develop nuclear weapons.

    First of course we don’t have a widespread testing regime. Our number of tests as a percentage of the population is among the lowest.

    And we have the highest number of deaths of any country and we are well down on the curve compared to Italy and Spain. Trump has once again made America a leader!

    Please provide your list of wars that Obama started. Laughter erupts from the informed!

    Yeah, applying the criminal sanction against drugs has worked so damn well! A century later the US has the highest per capita rate of imprisonment in the world for 4 decades or more, drugs are available inside prisons, and the CIA is in the drug business.

    Do you want to walk that back?

    Gunslinger Barack took immense and perverse pleasure in participating in the Global War Of Terror begun by his predecessor. He and Brennan got to pick the weekly targets for assassination.

    If he had been the great, honest and moral man you insinuate he is, he would have ended it. He did not. He is a war criminal like his predecessor and successor.

    So much for European unity. They bailed on each other at the first sign of trouble...

    We have one of the lower number of deaths of any country as a percentage of the population.

    And Spain and Italy do top us in actual numbers.

    Do you seriously believe that America is somehow the special target of God's COVID wrath? You seriously don't understand that this is tearing across the entire planet, and the 2nd and 3rd world nations are going to suffer exponentially worse for their lack of resources to deal with this pandemic?

    America DOES NOT have more cases of COVID, and it's utterly foolish to think we do. What America has is more testing than places like Mexico, which have about none testing.

    Mexico isn't reporting many COVID cases, because Mexico isn't even bothering to count COVID cases.

    The notion that this is somehow "America's plague" or "The Trump Pox" is just really, really dumb.

    The median age of Mexico is 27. The median age of Italy is 45. Mexico may not have as much a problem with this as a lot of people think. They may be better off just letting it rip and it might not create that much of a humanitarian crisis.

    The brutal fact is, the virus hurts first world countries more because we do more heroic measures to save people in hospitals. Rich countries have a lot of people living well with chronic diseases that would just kill you in a poor country. A poor young country without much in the way of health care might not even really notice this, outside of it decimating what old people do live in that country.

    ETA: the median age of Iran is 31, and they're having a hell of a time, so maybe everything I said there is worthless.
