Lega is depending on the fact that the Left is divided into a Sanders-type "Immigration hurts wages." party and a Clinton-type "muh diversity and liberalism" party.

They align themselves with the left-wing opponents of immigration.

We cannot effectively do this; instead, we need to actually make overtures to the WWC who may be persuadable.

Some issues are basically democracy general too.

Like the worst part of Obamacare is ironically that it mandates everyone 26.5 and younger to be covered by their parents'/guardians' insurance.

I am saying that maybe the Republican Party can take inspiration from Lega Nord and say thing like "Stop the Invasion" or something like that. They have a good party setup

That means that they cost money (esp. due to the fact that contraceptive coverage is also mandatory)

While simultaneously not putting any money into the system

Then you hit 27

And all the insurance costs a ton because of regulations intended to prevent old people from being charged more

And despite the fact that they planned on making the young subsidize the old, they combined it with a stupid law effectively prohibiting most under 27 from buying insurance.

Also yeah, Lega is pretty good in that regard, but that's also particularly effective on Italy since the primary issue is border protection, not deportation.

They have been getting really tough with Deportations

True.

But they're a frontline state too.

But I get what you are saying

It's Arizona rhetoric, not Rust Belt rhetoric.

Right

We really need to show the link between the opioid crisis and the border.

That would change public opinion fast

you got any numbers on that?

Most of the Heroin in the US comes from Mexico and South America

this is true but I feel like if we are going to say it, it has to be documented and sourced

Then there's fentanyl and other synthetic designer drugs which we get from China, we need to target both Mexico and China for drug deaths.

you got a source for the claim that most of the heroin from the US comes from Mexico and South America?

holy shit

93%

Yes.

my God

93%

I'm surprised it's not higher if anything.

Hi surprised it's not higher if anything., I'm Dad!

didn't know it was that much

Yep

Trump has to hit this link home

If you build the Wall, you end the war on drugs.

It'd blow the sympathy card right out of the left's hands

Thousands of Americans have died from it, this makes the family separation bullshit look like a joke

yep

You build the wall and suddenly the source of 93% of America's heroin goes dry.
