In Michael Moore's new video, when he travelled to other countries to find good ideas to bring to America, why didn't he bring back ideas like the following?


* Restricting immigration. Countries like Japan and China don't allow the 3rd World to flood in and as a result they have a strong culture with little crime.

I don't know, didn't he do a whole documentary about healthcare in Cuba? God forbid anything should happen to our President during his visit there, but if it does, it's good to know he be in the best of hands as far as healthcare is concerned.

He's a hypocrite and blithering idiot. Didn't he say he would leave the USA if Trump get's elected? Maybe he and Whoopi can leave together.... hand in hand. Maybe we should start a crowdfunding account to help them move out regardless of who wins the election.

No, his head wouldn't look good anywhere.

Did you ever think that what separates the United States from Japan and China is that we are a nation of immigrants? We were literally founded upon immigration, it is baked into our DNA.

Not so with China and Japan, both of which have been closed societies for thousands of years. That too is baked into their DNA.

You are comparing apples to refrigerators.

Well spoken. Until roughly the Civil War, or the better part of half our nation's history, anyone who reached these shores automatically became an American. Of course this does not include those who were brought here as slaves, but the point still stands.

And, going back, there has always been a big paranoia about immigrants of one type or another, be they Quakers or Irish or Germans or Chinese...

I love my country. I truly do. I'm no super-patriot, but this is a unique place with incredible, inventive people (most of whom are descended--obviously--from people who immigrated here) beautiful land, etc., etc.

But there is no denying that this nation was built by immigrants and through the genocide of one race and the enslavement of another.
