The entirety of it.
 
There is no pretence that illegal immigration is being targeted - it is being targeted.  Your assertion that a pretence exists is false.
 
Trump is the President.  Bannon and Trump are not conjoined twins.  When you say "restrictions", what you are really talking about is new policy, but you use the word "restrictions" to dramatize it.  Trump does want to eliminate the visa lottery system as a matter of policy and there are valid reasons to do so.  
 
The term "drain the swamp" has nothing to do with immigration.
 
Steve Bannon is not a "white nationalist" and does not create policy or draft U.S. laws.  Why are regressives so fixated on Steve Bannon?
 
 

What issues do you have with Breitbart?

Ridiculous falsehoods. 
 
 

I don't think you are exaggerating at all.  The hysteria has been at peak levels since November 2016.  

So all things positive things he did for America aren't considered positive things for other countries or for the globalist agenda?  I'm shocked!

Yep, another Trumphobia story.  
 

The only conspiracy here is a conspiracy theory.

Ha…I just about spit my chew all over the computer.

Could a mod change the text back to impossibly small, I read it and it is all total tosh, nothing different.
 
Well Lawyers increasing their fees, nothing new there.
 
Stress, counting all that money?

Perhaps this just a bunch of liberal lawyers fear mongering to justify raising their fees.

I loved the part about immigration lawyers having to increase their fees.  Why would they be against this?

Sounds like a typical Democrat.  If would be great to see before Trump pictures of democrats and what they look like now. No hair, bug eyes, delusional and a little frothy at the mouth would be my guess.

Another non story. The things described in the article have been in place before Trump even took office.

Were they Thai and American?

Saying its another non story Trump story is redundant 

In other words very little if anything will change from how things currently are. I had to get my congressman involved in my wife's immigration case and they wouldn't do anything for me until I filled out a privacy release form and gave them other paper work. This is a non story.

The reason I didn't go into too much detail was because I already have in the past and I see no reason to repeat myself endlessly apart from saying that I think at the very least that part of his accomplishments is not true. You are free to disagree but of course it is my opinion and only time will tell if I'm right or wrong. I've gone into detail in the past explaining why sustained growth above 4% or even 3% is laughable to me that they consider possible right now - that's  not an opinion, it's simply math. Again, time will tell. Corporate profits are already near record levels, the effective US corporate tax rate (taxes actually paid as a fraction of pre tax income) is already at 20% even without tax cuts. Productivity growth and employment are the drivers of economic growth and since we're already near full employment, and since civilian labor force growth is dropping(that's demographics), and productivity growth has also been slowing over the last few decades. It has nothing to do with this president or the other - GDP has been in decline for decades, this is not an economy that can support 4% GDP. 
 
I am not just an alarmist bear, in fact between 2009-2015 I've been a raging bull. But I go by the valuations which by reliable measures are the highest they've ever been. If you think that's sustainable I have no doubt you will be proven wrong. This isn't just a normal "bull market run" and you can thank the Federal Reserve for that, but for Trump, who correctly called the market a bubble before he was elected, to now take credit(which isn't his) for the market being an even bigger bubble is baffling to say the least. I think it is more a cyclical issue and won't be as much his fault as the left will claim once it crashes and burns, but I have no intention of defending him at that time because if you take credit for creating it you should own up to it when it crumbles.
 
Governments don't create jobs. I don't see it as "Trump created jobs". US economic growth has expanded at a rate of 2.1% annually in the 7 year period since 2010, nearly half of this growth was due to the decline in the unemployment rate, which is a wholly cyclical factor. One of the core drivers of productivity growth is expansion in net US domestic investment. Booms in real US investment are closely associated with deterioration in the trade deficit, because you export securities to foreigners in order to finance the boom. Because payments have to balance, this means you also export fewer goods for any given level of imports. The bottom line is that investment booms tend to be associated with larger trade deficits, so not surprisingly, booms in US real investment typically emerge from a position of near balance or surplus in the US current account.
 
Now, add the current 0.4% growth rate in the civilian labor force to 0.6% growth in productivity, and you get the current “structural” growth rate of the U.S. economy; that is, the growth rate in the absence of changes in the unemployment rate. The labor force component of structural growth is largely baked in the cake due to demographics, which leaves productivity growth as the main factor that could raise structural US growth.
 
Still, given civilian labor force growth of just 0.4%, even an acceleration of productivity growth from the current rate of 0.6% to the 1972-2008 rate of 1.9% would still produce only 2.3% structural economic growth. Anything greater than that would have to be driven by a decline in the unemployment rate from the already low level of 4.1%.
 
I didn't say economic confidence didn't rise, I'm just saying that's a given with the point we're at in the current cycle and has very little to do with Trump. Economic confidence normally doesn't decline substantially till after the markets and the economy. What I meant when I said near peak was for the economy as a whole, not just the markets. 
 
 
It was a joke man.

So you have nothing except opinion and innuendo?  I guess I was expecting too much.
 
 

Nope, there isn't any at all.  It is Trump Derangement Syndrome again - even rational liberals are laughing at these regressive leftist now.
 
I normally don't suggest this, but if you want to see something hilarious, go over to MSNBC and scroll down until you find a story that isn't anti-Trump.  You might miss Christmas from scrolling for so long! 

Did you even read the list?  Which items are "obvious BS"?

I agree that they don't have to be "Mr. Nice Guy", but they do need to be professional and treat people with respect.  They are representing America and are often the first point of interaction between foreigners and our government.  They absolutely should not be ridiculing people and laughing at them.  That wouldn't be tolerated in my government run office and it shouldn't be happening in the State Department.
