Seems like some people don't remember the 1980's when the Japanese were "buying the US" and hysteria ensued.

Money flowing INTO this country is a very very good thing.

The problem is, there are more rich Chinese than rich Americans.

According to this, there are 596 billionaires in China versus 537 in the US.

Considering China has a population of 1.370 billion, about 4.5 X the US population, the rate of Chinese billionaires does not compare to the US.

China now has more billionaires than U.S. - Oct. 15, 2015

As an aside, I favor putting all refugees on hold until such time that the country addresses the now 30 year old challenge of illegal aliens. I don't care for either presumptive nominee.

Trump has acknowledged that Obama has deported more than any other president. Unlike Obama, Trump now intends to show some heart as it relates to deportation and has walked back prior promises to deport all undocumented people. Not even nominated yet and he flip- flopped on his primary platform.

That it would not have been possible for Trump to execute his promise of mass deportation is being ignored. Like most politicians, he makes promises he cannot possibly keep.
Have you forgotten about 911...over 3000 killed? We let these people in and our PC liars allowed them to train to fly airplanes into buildings. Now the problem is thousands of unvetted Syrians and ISIS among them that Obama wants to bring in and Hillary wants to multiply that....they are going to kill hundreds if not thousands of americans in the coming years.

I don't know why you're asking "Lefties." I seem to recall several decades worth of conservatives supporting the globalization of the U.S. economy and financial system.

Sometimes I wonder what planet y'all have been living on.
