And just in case someone wants to correct that and whine that the issue is illegal immigrants, note that Trump also wants to stop certain legal immigration "for a while".

But no matter. That is a distraction. The point is that Trump is THE ONE whom the OP is about!

Vote for him??? HELL NO!!


Don't you know better than to support such a danger and liar???

Nah, this is what is inflaming it. .

Why is that racist? It isn't as though the Democrats have done much if anything for black americans in the last 30 years. I mean other than give lip service and make promises that they never keep.
There will always be a special interest group for the demo to pander too that are more important than the black community. After all the Dems know that they already own the black vote.

Of course you can't or won't explain why it is supposedly an epic failure.

Of course its racist because everything is sexist, hateful and racist. All rivers run into the sea. So the story goes blacks are under oppression , or at the very least economically disadvantaged. This has been the perpetual battle cry of the democrats. Then trump agrees with it so now that's a problem because it ignores the success of blacks as told to us by Hillary.

So tell me, do blacks need issues addressed or are they doing just fine. Pick one.

This so-called "anti-muslim" nonsense from Trump is really just common sense, based in large measure upon the actions, statements, positions of prominent Muslim leaders, and of course, the disaster clearly unfolding in many European nations who are experiencing a societal crisis at the hands of Muslim migrants raping young girls, and causing an explosion of violent crime rates never seen before.

The Clinton/Obama program of bringing that rape-u-gee disaster to America must be stopped dead in its tracks. The outrageous suggestion recently put forth by Bill Clinton, wanting to rebuild Detroit with Syrian refugees is yet another slap in the face to every American citizen, and exposes the underlying mentality which is totally opposite of Trump's message of "America First".

So what extreme mental disorder could cause an American citizen to embrace the Clinton message of "America Last"?

I agree that existing laws need to be enforced and we don't really need new laws from what I know. But there is no need to build a wall or do more than we are doing to secure the border. If the existing laws were to be enforced, the incentives to come here illegally would vanish.
Is it a genetic defect that causes liberals to speak in circles?

There is no need to build a wall, or do more than we are doing now? How can you say that, given the complete failure of our border security?

According to the border patrol (who have endorsed Trump, btw), only 40-60 % of the illegals crossing the border are apprehended. That alone proves that we do need to do much more than we are currently doing. The fact that most are released only shows what a farce the whole effort really is.

And yes, there needs to be a wall that impedes the illegal border traffic ....

Have you ever actually seen any of the US-MEXICO border entry points? Very elaborate security ... people and auto traffic screened and passed through checkpoints. Inspecting passports. etc. What is the point of all that, if you have 1,000 + miles of openness to which anyone can just bypass the border checkpoints, and walk in undetected? The obvious answer is, there is no point in having such checkpoints when they can be, and are, being easily bypassed by millions.

So let's try to inject a tiny bit of rational thought here. Right now, your position doesn't.

Huh? Exactly what is racist about that?

Democrats have consistently criticized Republicans for not 'reaching out' to the black community. Now Trump has done that and he's called a racist for doing it.

The Democrats own cognitive dissonance.

What do black people have to loose? The Dems have done not a thing for them. In fact the latest pandering to illegals can be argued as hurting poor black americans.

No one should have to. Maybe you think racism simply consists of expressions of hate based on race. You may not think racism can be more subtle, like "what. the hell. do you have. to lose?"

Or like one person I know once said, "I'm not racist. I just think they were given too much too fast."

Trump actually said to America's blacks, "what. the hell. do you have. to lose?"

THAT is racism. THAT is all it takes, along with a failure to retract it and apologize, to see that he's a racist. A person who wants to be accepting of races and wants to correct any racist ideas he has would have apologized and retracted that statement.
