Who votes for these morons and why? I mean Rand Paul has been like this for years it isn't just a new thing.
 
I'm in New York which of course has much less of an immigrant problem. The one thing though, NY has a lot of the same problems that CA has. Exploding cost of living in big cities is a big problem here. We're always strapped for cash as a state even through we're so big.

The problem is that we need to look at statistics and facts, not feelings. Does immigration have a negative impact on states near the border? It is possible, but what impact exactly? I don't know. The big problem I have is that we assume immigrants are a big problem, then work backwards from that. I just don't accept it as a given that immigration is a problem. I don't know all the facts (because few actually cite facts). Things like welfare are largely at the state level, so they can often be fixed there.

Instead of trying to look at the problem and come up with solutions, Trump just slows everything down at the border.

I do agree about politicians trying too hard to be anti-Trump, and possibly losing site of common sense. They are essentially letting Trump manipulate them through reverse psychology. We need to ignore Trump and come up with common sense solutions. That starts with finding statistics to actually see what the problem is, if there even is one. Most people are willing to discuss the border reasonably.

Oh I don't look at them as the problem I look at letting in so many people at once as something we just cat t afford here in California, I don't know how many would actually be sent here vs going to places like Texas, Arizona etc but we are having a real issue with homelessness right now and I have a hard time saying "hey we can't afford to help the people who are already here so let's go ahead and let 10's of thousands more in who have no way of supporting themselves" The issue is so bad in LA that the waste from skid row is attracting a lot of disease carrying rats, city hall had an issue with typhus carrying rats and the LAPD precincts in the area all have a rat problem now as well.

I hate hearing about the things we can't afford when you consider how much we spend on the military

The debate draw paired Sanders and Warren on night 1 and Harris and Biden again on night 2. Other people are there too, of course, but I'd have to look that up again.
 
I haven’t listened to it yet but apparently Dan Le Batard on his radio show (which I enjoy) Thur morning had some things to say about Trump, him saying they should go back from where they came from, chants at rally “send her back”, all this racist bulls*** that keeps going on, and called ESPN cowards. I hope he doesn’t get suspended or fired. This is some of what I could find.

“We here at ESPN haven’t had the stomach for that fight, because Jemele [Hill] did some things on Twitter and you saw what happened after that, and then here all of a sudden nobody talks politics on anything unless we can use one of these sports figures as a meat-shield in the most cowardly possible way to discuss these subjects.”

“The only way we can discuss it around here—because this isn’t about politics, it’s about race; what you’re seeing happening around here is about race and it’s been turned into politics—we only talk about it around here when Steve Kerr or [Gregg] Popovich says something. We don’t talk about what is happening unless there’s some sort of weak, cowardly sports angle that we can run it through, when sports has always been a place where this stuff changes.”

“We won’t talk about it unless Russell Wilson is saying something about it on his Instagram page. Then we have the power to run with it. Weak-ass shield. It is antithetical to what we should be, and if you’re not calling it abhorrent, obviously racist, dangerous rhetoric, you’re complicit.”

Also f*** ESPN for not holding the NFL's feet to the fire for what happened to Kaepernick.
