Fact checking trump's border address
These people are lawbreakers who have no right to be here. They rape our borders, depress wages, and steal healthcare, and get free health insurance through their anchor babies. They need to go.

Incorrect.
Most of them come for better work/financial opportunities. They typically do jobs Americans refuse to do. And the numbers have been crunched: They’re a net gain for the US economy - they pay more taxes than they cost, And they make many businesses viable. Without them harvesting crops (one of the main jobs migrant labourers do), fruits and veggies rot on the vine because Americans won’t do the work. It’s long hard days for relatively low pay. Even trump’s own vineyard had grapes rot on the vine last year because Mexicans were driven out by his immigration policies.
Illegal immigration is a problem no one has wanted to actually solve because everyone makes money from it. Farmers, construction contractors, janitorial companies, landscapers etc etc and of course, the USA.
Do yourself a favour and watch the mockumentary “A day without a Mexican,” for a look at what American life would be without them.

Firstly, I don't care why they are here. It is true that they depress the wages for low wage earners, even the open border advocates admit that.
Have you ever thought the reasons Americans won't do some of those jobs is because they are priced out of the market by competitive, illegal labour?
Immigration has to be controlled. If policy makers find there is a need for labourers in a certain market, they can allow workers in as guest workers or other such programs.
But just because some industries might benefit from some immigrant labour, doesn't mean they all do, nor does it mean that illegal aliens should be allowed to stay in this country.
Yes, illegal aliens might make corporations richer and improve GDP, but so what? Humans do not exist for the sake of GDP. There are plenty of things that matter.
I've heard it claimed that global GDP would double if we just let everyone move wherever they might be needed. So what? What would be the cost of that? The death of the nations. The death of borders and individual culture and identity. It would lead to nothing but pure dystopia and chaos.
We need to go back to before this modernist, materialist thinking. We need to go back to before the "Enlightenment" and accept the divine origin of the state. We need to do away with these notions of "popular sovereignty" and go back to Divine Right of Kings - the most natural and divine form of government.

"I'm Donald Trump, and I approve this message."
I'm wondering what happened between then and now regarding the Democrats. Did they just do a 180 on immigration control to be anti-trump?
A number of things, but this is one:
Did Ballot-Harvesting By Illegals Flip Elections To Democrats?
Voter Fraud: Democrats say they oppose President Trump's demand for money to start building a border wall on moral grounds. More likely it's because they know that unchecked immigration — legal or illegal — helps them win elections. If you don't think so, look at what happened in California in the midterms.
A recent Los Angeles Times article — titled "How young immigrant 'Dreamers' made flipping control of the House a personal quest" — talked about how those who came to the country illegally as children had been running around California helping otherwise nonvoters fill out ballots.

If you compare Bill Clinton's administration to Trump's, Bill Clinton was probably further to the right than Trump is.

I personally am not really in favor of the wall. More fencing sure. But I think the wall is too much of a project to ever reach completion. And I think Trump said things in his adress that were untrue or at least inaccurate and it was too easy to spot and point those things out.

Mr. Trump is trying to pay for the wall from the stolen wages of government workers, after he had promised to make Mexico pay for his wall. He is also engaging union-busting tactics against the DNC-held House of Representatives, just like a coal-mine owner who steals wages from the miners and tries to intimidate them into voting in his favor. Mr. Trump lies, denies the truth, and makes up his own "facts" to scare the general population into giving him what he wants.
I have never known a more pathetic example of a tyrannical narcissist -- Richard Nixon came close, even requiring a pardon from his successor -- but Mr. Trump is so blatantly obvious about it that I am constantly amazed that impeachment proceedings have not been brought against him.
