Trump thinks that federal judge is a Mexican.

In fact, Trump doesn't have much idea on how to make America great again. His biggest idea so far is to cut taxes on The Wealthy, because "Reagan did it". Trump is no Reagan. If he does that, The Wealthy would just pocket more profit with less hiring -- that's how supply side of economy works.

Wrong! The federal judge was an American citizen but his parents were Mexican. Trump's objection to him was that the lawyer's association he was a member of had ties to La Raza a known illegal alien advocacy group and the lawyer's group also provided college scholarships to illegal aliens. He felt the judge could be biased against him. Do you think a black person would get a fair shake from a judge with ties to the KKK?


A xenophobic has a fear of strangers. Just what strangers does Trump supposedly fear or at least without good reason?

Who cares? Refugees/asylums and various other categories are still issued an immigrant visa and for dubious reasons and too many immigrant visas are issued and for dubious reasons, and that's the real problem.

Within 6 years (I still say it's 5 years for refugees and asylums and 3 years for spouses and other exceptions), boom you got a new low information Democrat voter 8/10 times and that's barely longer than an election cycle.

It always seems to be the democrats fighting for those groups other than less fortunate americans.




Why do Democrats put immigrants, refugees , and illegals before US citizens? If you disagree, please put why.
Why do people ask questions based on fallacy?

You say : "I know plenty of people struggling financially (although I am not), and they seem to not be able to get help. IF they do find help , it is limited. "

Why is it you've apparently never noticed it's Republicans screaming SOCIALISM! at the mere mention of helping Americans who need help while they'll happily send Americans half-way around the world to fight for others?

When I no longer see physically sick and mentally ill homeless Veterans standing on street corners holding cardboard signs, or any other homeless Citizens of the United States doing the same thing, THEN and ONLY then will I be willing to accept refugees from any war-torn country or illegal immigrants!
If we can not or will not take care of our own, we should not be attempting to take care of the world!
In the same vein, all of Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, and Syria is not worth the life of even ONE United States Soldier, Sailor, Airman, or Marine! Let them fight their own religious wars, and rebuild their own countries!

I agree it's more than just the lives of soldiers and so on...it's also a huge huge money sink. We could be using that money to invest in free Democratic countries that actually like us and continue to work on our relationships with countries in Asia that actually try.

But I'm curious; are there any number of Syrians in particular that make you all lose your water? Is it the children? The women? Or is it just the thought of Syrians in general that make people on the right want to wring out their underpants?
nope, spent to much time introducing hadji's to allah to be afraid of them....Just know what they are capable of.....................

Good point! So sad. Our lefters on here want to post threads why they should care about homeless vets more than syrians. It's pathetically PC and a real good example of what our country is becoming.

America First vs. Cosmopolitanism

Some people choose to be homeless.

I'd say when we stop handing out food stamps, we may consider admitting some refugees.
