It's really time for the Democrats to get on media and explain just how much and how illegal drugs

actually get into the country and it's not through the Mexican border. We always miss teachable moments in the main stream media. We should always be pointing out that Trump's wall promise was linked to Mexico paying for the wall, not us taxpayers. We should also be explaining with kindergarten charts how illegal immigration has been going down for the past 6 years. We also need to identify who is included in the group called "illegal immigrants" which also includes those who stayed beyond their legal status time. We also need to talk about the fact that Donald employs many "immigrants of questionable status."

Since the Trump base is hooked on following Don into battle, now is the time spring some facts on them while they are all into this issue. And no matter how we feel about them...learning comes by hearing and hearing by facts and truths. If it only educates a half a dozen of them it will be worth it.

but you might stop new members from joining.
I absolutely think we should be countering the conservative rhetoric more forcefully than we are now.
