Sure dude your life sucks because of illegal immigrants...

Is it really racist to point out that a terrorist is likely to be Muslim, and that an illegal immigrant that can walk here happens to be Mexican?

Either way, point is that if you are an illegal immigrant you should be considered a fugitive. So fine if you are here, but just make sure to keep your head down, work extra hard, stay out of trouble, and don't expect financial benefits.

Even worse than what you're asking, it's usually the terrorist himself who makes the link between the act of terror and Islam, often shouting Allahu Akbar or making some other reference to Allah. When sane people suggest perhaps limiting our exposure to new immigrants who may believe in this ideology, we are labeled Islamophobes, which is one of the dumbest terms out there. A phobia refers to an irrational fear. The concern about radical Islam is not irrational and it's not necessarily fear per se. It's just an attempt at limiting our exposure to acts of terror.

What would be a true phobia or religious profiling would be attempts at limiting migration from people of religious backgrounds that are less prone to terror. As Michael Savage said, it's not BISIS (Buddhism); it's not HISIS (Hinduism); it's not JISIS (Judaism).

Least we forget about the young Muslim female that feigned being verbally assaulted because of her religious background, all in an attempt to hide her mischievous behavior from her extremely religious father.

If he was an american-born blue collar worker, it probably does.

Or more accurately, it sucks because politicians refuse to punish greedy CEOs/corprations who use illegals to pay subuman-level wages as opposed to a living wage to american taxpayers.

That probably makes more sense ...rich people/politicians have power and influence, not poor immigrants. Of course Mr Trump himself all the same hired illegal immigrants for his past projects and then of course he got elected convincing his supporters that it was their fault their life sucks and it worked. This of course is not the first time these political techniques have been used in the past to get elected and it is the reason why some see his supporters as pretty gullible.

No, it's more like we're sick of these do nothing politicians not addressing the same issues. Americans have wanted a comprehensive immigration policy for YEARS, and we've had two terms of Obama and two terms with Bush and still no resolution. I support immigration, just not illegal immigration. It's interesting that we're the only country (aside from that idiot chancellor Angela Merkel in Germany who has welcomed Syrian refugees with open arms - that's worked out real well for Germans having all of those people overburden the social welfare system and contribute to a rise in crime with nothing to contribute in return since many of them are either uneducated or illiterate) that seems to think it's okay to have illegal immigrants pour into our country with no consequence. We won't get respect again until we start upholding our laws.

I get all the social ills in this country not to mention the world, but thinking one president or president elect will fix them than you will be angry and dissapointed for the rest of your life. Actually maybe thinking the government is going to fix anything like you said.... what have they done for us(the people) lately....

I agree with that.

Rich people don't have to brag about their wealth.
Smart people never brag about how smart they are.
People with class don't decorate their homes in gold.

Trump may be the next POTUS but he will always be a loser in life.
He has no real friends if he did you would have seen them supporting his campaign. Children and paid employees don't count.
Inferiority complex, Absolutely!
