Let me repeat myself for those with vision and hearing problems...
"Trump attacks protections for immigrants from ‘****hole’ countries in Oval Office", it is THE TITLE OF THIS THREAD!

It appears to me that you don't even recognize the thread you're in because of your ****on to catch me doing/saying something YOU disagree with.

Newsflash, I was NOT agreeing NOR disagreeing with the title of the thread.

In my post I am responding to an article posted concerning BOTSAWANA!

YOUR city-data name is definitely a misnomer. Please go away little person and find someone else to dispute a commentary with, please, I beg you!

Little person? Is that all you've got are personal attacks?


"The administration announced this week that it was removing TPS status for citizens of El Salvador. Haitians were added to the TPS aka program because of a strong earthquake that devastated Haiti eight years ago". I agree with Trump on this it was temporary and that these countries are ****holes but it's time for their citizens to fix them and for us to bow out and stop protecting them at our expense. If they don't do so they will always remain that way and nothing will change.

You're determined to play that race card, aren't you? Shameful and childish!

This is very true, the ones that came here have no doubt been exposed to new skills and higher standards. When they go back to their native country they will raise the standards back there which will help the rest of their population

I've also heard them call Trump all kinds of nasty names such as Orangeman, Cheeto and far worse. What a bunch of hypocrites they are. Trump states the truth about some countries and they get their panties all in a wad and immediately pull the race card. A country isn't a race it's a piece of land.

You act like the country of someone's birth is nothing but an innocuous footnote to their personality or identity, when its literally the "nurture" part of "nature vs nurture". When you are raised in a certain environment and culture, you are steeped like a teabag in that cauldron, and you take on the properties of that environment and culture. So if you are born and raised in a country that has defective beliefs (extreme religiosity, for instance, and no concept of secular government, or of Western ideals...how in the world could you possibly wind up being fit to be a citizen of America? We will have to reprogram that person, everything they believe in, just to get them to the point an American child would be at with zero effort. Why go thru all that?)

Which leads us to a more basic issue: Why do we need to import people to "become Americans" in the first place? We already have 320M people here...never gonna run out of people. Got so many we can't use the ones we have! So why import more of what we have in abundance and excess already?

A lot of truth in your post.

Between the two, the crude man who tells the truth and looks out for his own citizens is preferable to the genteel man who sells us out for cheap labor or ballot-box fuel for a political machine. If Trump is the former, so be it.
Cannot like this post enough. That is exactly it. Americans are sick and tired of being invaded and exploited. We've had it. Just flipping done with all of it!

As a white liberal, I want many imigrants to come here from African countries and Haiti. But Once they're here I don't want them to live anywhere near me.

Obviously, President Trump was talking about Somalia. What else could he have called it?
