I'm surprised the Hitler card didn't come out earlier in this thread.
Of maybe it did.
At any rate, it is proof that the one who plays it has no good argument and is not to be taken seriously.
America will be hated for as long as it is the most powerful nation in the world.
Pettiness and jealousy are the reason why we are hated.
The hate and resentment have existed for as long as I can remember.

It was obvious that he was not talking about ALL Mexicans or even ALL illegal aliens from Mexico.
But nice try.
And I will add that the more Latino U.S. citizens defend their illegal brethren, the less they are going to be liked by other Americans.

Yes, he can.
The money to build 700 miles of it was appropriated by Congress a long time ago.
All Trump has to do is enforce existing law, which says that illegals must be deported.
Trump as president has a perfect right to enforce existing law, and he can take action on his own to secure the border, our other ports of entry, go after employers who hire illegals, etc.

Yes, he can. Through tariffs if nothing else. If Mexico wants to trade with the U.S. (and it does), then it will pay.

he can't deny someone entry into this country because they're Muslim.

Yes, he can.
Foreigners do not have any rights here unless they're already in the country.
He's going to keep them out of this country.

All that bloviating is meant to connect with the lowest common denominator

I would say the lowest common denominator are those who repeatedly (and knowingly in many cases) say false things about Trump.

....If Trump is so thin skinned he can't take criticism, he's applying for the wrong job.

Can't take it?
He loves it!
Every time he's attacked -- by the Pope, by the British Parliament, by NBC, by the conservative National Review, by Macy's, by the Mexican government, by Univision, by the Democrats, by the liberals, by Fox News, by the other Republican candidates, and by the Republican Party Establishment -- his poll numbers go up!

Unless Mr Trump wants to alienate the millions of Catholics by slamming one of the most popular Popes in recent history, I would advise him to tread lightly on this one.
|
Give it up already.
Most American Catholics don't want the Pope poking his nose into our politics.
Neither does anyone else except the Trump haters -- who would shriek their little heads off if the Pope spoke out against gays, abortion, or whatever else they value.

If the GOP wanted to do something to stem the flow of illegal immigrants they could have gone after the businesses who hire them. And by "go after" I mean shut them the hell down.
|
Agreed.
Name one candidate who is more likely to do that than Trump.
The other candidates -- both Republican and Democrat -- get contributions from businesses that don't want a crack-down on all that cheap labor they're getting.

As you probably already know, the shutdown is to be temporary -- "until we figure out what the hell is going on" in Trump's own words.

Yes, and they should go back and fix their own country instead of trying to change ours.

But it certainly will not be Trump.
