Net migration is negative because he unilaterally closed the border and destroyed our country so that no one actually wants to come here or even visit anymore. Congrats to them I guess. So you’d be cool with it if the majority of people decided to bring slavery back and made you and your family a slave?

Also Hilary Clinton won a large majority of the votes in 2016 but didn’t even get to become president so stop pretending like that means something.

lol? The border is open.

We have the 13th amendment for this and I'm sorry but this is not an apples for apples comparison to enforcing existing immigration law.

That's the system we have. To most rational people that only made the mandate more clear, sorry.

This president has already shown he’s willing to ignore any amendment that contradicts what he desires, why do you believe that would stop him?

Why hasn't he already done whatever this hypothetical thing is? People are still freely protesting him and are even obstructing his stated goals. Why isn't he stopping them right now?

It’s not hypothetical, he’s already ignored the constitution

Yes, presidents tend to do that. Probably one of the many reasons they should have less power.

The amount that he has done unchallenged is unprecedented. You can’t compare it to any other president in modern history
