His mother's family came to the US from Scotland for economic benefit.
Given the harsh economic realities of life in such isolated communities of subsistence farming and fishing, it is little wonder that numerous Lewismen (and women) emigrated as the land simply could not sustain the growing population. Clearly there was a better life for them in the new world.
At what point did I fabricate anything? His mother came to the United States with her family due to the economic hardships faced in their home country, just like so many others.
Trump wants to send people back that were even born here and are American citizens. How is that legal?
I don't have a vested interest in the immigration fight but I'm not angry about it either. I do find it telling that Trump never talks about the undocumented immigrants from other countries, only Mexico. Yet 30-40% of them are a result of overstaying their Visa.
The people you refer to as American citizens are the anchor babies. I didn't hear about him wanting to send anchor babies home - just the illegals. If the illegals have anchor babies they can take them with them or leave them in the US. If the parent(s) want to take them with them the children can return to the US at any time.
The Chinese come legally (visa) on what is called a "Chinese Birth Tour" industry, give birth to their American citizen child and when they go back to China they take their child with them. Thousands of Chinese have been doing this for years and they return to their country with the child.
He never talks about immigrants from Islamic countries - is it because he has investments in Dubai and Saudi Arabia? I wonder if his ire at Mexico has to do with getting burned in a real estate deal in Mexico - seems that the people he was dealing with were a great deal sharper than he was.
What interests has he established in Dubai and Saudi Arabia that have been completed and operational?
You resurrected a thread from weeks ago to ask that? Really? By the way, Trump's wife is also an immigrant, he's surrounded by them. I don't care, he's likely the GOP candidate and they can have him.
Trumps wife's a LEGAL alien. Nothing wrong with legal aliens. ILLEGAL aliens are just common criminals. Period.
Yep. But considering how recent Trump's family is, where do you draw the line? Cruz, Rubio, Jindal, where do you draw the line? And while the GOP is saying these poor people need to go home and find jobs there, so should Trump's mother and her family.
Sigh.
OK. I'll type slowly for your benefit.
LEGAL IMMIGRANT
1. Fills out multiple forms (residency going back 10 years prior to application, educational background, health background, financial background, family background), so as to prove that you are not a criminal and that you have either the financial resources or professional experience so that you will not become a financial burden to your new country (the US).
2. Pays to have an ICE approved doctor perform a physical
3. Goes to an ICE approved law enforcement agency to be fingerprinted. Has those same fingerprints put through an FBI data base
4. Drives (often hundreds of miles) and waits in line (always for many hours) when contacted to go to ICE interview. On a number of occasions.
5. Pays out many hundreds of dollars initially, that inevitably grows into thousands of dollars over the years of the application.
6.Waits. Waits. Waits. Fills in more paperwork. Gets fingerprints taken again when ICE loses first set. Waits. Waits. Waits. Sends in more money when requested by mail. There is no point in trying to clarify what the money is for. Nobody ever answers the phone or returns your messages.
7. Swears that he/she has never been a prostitute, never been a member of the Nazi Party, never been a party to genocide.
8. After many years, mountains of paperwork, many dollars, and many interviews with smug and dismissive feds, you get your approved status. Legal Resident Alien.
ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT
1. Sneaks across the border, ignoring all laws pertaining to the legal immigration process.
2. Comes to this country on a limited-basis visa and decides that they don't want to go home, ignoring all laws pertaining to the legal immigration process.
I came here legally. I am now an American citizen. Ask me what I think about illegal immigration?
