You are President: #1 thing you'd do to improve the United States?

SGT (Join to see) - Why then, is the President term-limited? I mean, elections, right?

If term limits other than elections are useful, then why NOT have them for Congress? If they are not useful, why are they there for the President?

If Congress has effective term limits through elections, why is Bernie still a Senator? Or McConnell, Schumer, Leahy, Grassley, etc.? Why is Pelosi still a Rep? Or Roger's, Smith, hour, etc.?

There are 9 current people in Congress who have been there for more than FORTY YEARS.

57 current reps have over 20 years in the House. And 16 Senators (or darn near 1 out of every 6) have over 20 years in the Senate. That's not even counting the folks who have more than 20 combined, but less than 20 in either.


So tell me again about term limits via elections? (Also, I can do nothing about ANY of those folks, except McConnell, and I *do*vote against him every chance I get)

Close the boarder!

I agree. Term limits for Congressmen. Reduce pay and benefits for Congressmen. Balance the budget.

This idea should be the first step dinosaurs should never be able to hold office for 40 plus years

I do not know why you worry about the Mexicans that cross the border. They work when they get here!!!! They are NOT collecting welfare like so many of the American families freeloading!!!

HA Janet Valenti - Who told you this?

CPT (Join to see) - Just look around you for them sitting on their ass nd doing nothing. Our community has a lot of hard working immigrants from south of the border,

No need to reopen Ellis island, every legal immigrants was biometrics collected at their visa application, and at the time they entry the U.S. at a port of entry. They get a huge package that directs them to what ports they can cross at and say do not open.

Now the part about going after firms hiring illegal aliens is dead on.

HA Janet Valenti - I understand your point, but they still take jobs from Americans. Irrespective, the path to permanent residency / citizenship is too long and way too expensive. Any investigation that allows someone to come here in 6 months to a a year, is better than a wholesale invasion of people not vetted at all !

And you got past 2d LT?

HA Janet Valenti - but do you see the cartel members they paid to cross? You realize they call home and encourage others to cross illegally further given more money to the cartels.

HA Janet Valenti - You work side by side with illegal immigrants? Kindly let me know where you work so I can report your employer for violating employment law.
