Republicans now calling on the President to enforce existing laws on the books.
Your thoughts on this?

I think the worst part of this is that laws should have been enforced to begin with. This issue has gotten WAY out of control and it never should have.

My thoughts on grassroots; yes it is growing because more and more people feel disenfranchised from our current government and want something done... Grassroots represents a groundswell from the public on issue's that basically get ignored by our wonderful legislators.
My thoughts on existing laws; again, yes I think existing laws should be enforced, why would you want to make yet another set of laws to be ignored? Why not try to enforce the ones we already have.
Great question

I think its more of a "waking up" than "spreading", but yes, it is. I think the sentiment has always been there, its just that now everyone is becoming more vocal. Its nice to see them pushing to enforce what we already have on the books... No need to compromise on what is already law. Good for them for speaking up, and I'm also glad to see that they agreed to send copies elsewhere. Every little bit helps.

My honest thought is that if he was going to listen to anyone it would have been the letter sent last year by the 13 socially conservative Republicans. He has already anointed Hillary for the election albeit in a backhand sort of way. I think his globalism trumps his party loyalty. Globalists consider party loyalty as silly as nationalism. They are in it for the money.
We have to look behind the parties, as well.

Yes and its about time. The faxes and phone calls whenever an amesty bill was on the floor of congress has finally paid off. We have been heard finally.

Absolutely! I'm so thankful for the loyal Americans who've protested to our politicians and have recruited their friends and families to do so also. No more silent majority! And God knows it's about time!

I think they will all put on an act for the upcoming election year. So now is the time to get things done.

I think that people are becoming outraged and personally affected by it, unlike other issues. You can't leave your house without encountering an immigrant, someone speaking Spanish or some other problem.
