Trump didn't win the election on the immigration issue, Trump won the election through a solid message of fixing our country that includes among other things solving the immigration issue. He got votes for fixing the bad trade deals, he got votes for fixing the immigration issue, he got votes for bringing our good jobs back, running the government more efficiently, putting America First, lowering taxes to make our companies more competitive and bringing offshore capital back into the country, deregulation, re-opening the coal mines, approving the pipelines, forcing NATO to pay their fair share so we can spend less on their defense, he was elected for many many reasons, some people like me supported almost all of his goals, others supported two or three, and some supported one or two. Trade and immigration were important ones, but they were not winners in the high-population states, they were winners in the 30 states. Mid-terms are nationwide, not by state, they are district by district and many districts do not hold all of our views on immigration. Of all the issues, the immigration issue is the most complicated, it's the hardest one to solve and the hardest one to win a district on in high population states, blue states, and that is where we have to win to keep our majority and gain seats in the Senate which Trump wants to do so we hopefully have a supermajority in the Senate next year so we can actually pass all the bills we desperately want and need.

So yes, what you are asking is wrong and not the right thing at all on any level. Next year IF we have a majority in the House AND a Supermajority in the Senate, then everyone needs to unite behind the good bills that are in Congress and get them passed so we can fix this mess on immigration and also continue fixing other aspects of our country that need repair and improvement. Even if all that happens, there will not be "one voice" on the solutions, there is one voice on the overall goal, but as should be clear as crystal to you, not even people who have worked together to fix this mess here at ALIPAC even agree on how to do it, and that's been the case for all 13 years I've been here. The goal is simple, the traditional means to achieve it are not.

To wail and whine about this issue now is not only just plain wrong, it's dangerous. If Congress is doing something bad and they may be, they're a sneaky bunch, wail and whine at them, but not at Trump, there's nothing more Trump can or will do on our issue beyond what he's already put in place or has in motion until after the mid-terms, because nothing is more important right now and for the next 58 days but winning the mid-terms for Republicans. It must be smooth messaging and everyone working together to win those elections, because if we lose them, you just lost the country.
If bringing attention to illegals marching through our military bases or asking that military take action because border control is being shot at is considered wail and whine, then I am on the wrong forum.

I was under the impression that ALIPAC was about the problems of illegal immigration. I was not aware that anyone who was asking that Trump be held accountable for his campaign promises would be berated and condemned. I have run into this same problem on another forum where the Trump cult has taken over the board. Their aggressiveness has run off any and all who wanted to or tried to speak out about immigration.

Sad to see this happening here.
