No, we were flooded with illegal aliens.

The thing is people constantly say Obama ruined this country with "foreigners" and I don't see where they get that from. There are a few people of other descent in jobs that I wanted but much more Americans have taken those jobs.
Most of the "foreigners" just take jobs that almost nobody wants.

Diversity is also about much more than race and Trump has proven to not like any minority group.

Ask that to the Disney employee that not only was fired, but had to train the people who took his job, before he was let go.
There are many such cases like that.

It could be isolated incidents or a misunderstanding. Some companies may even be for illegal immigration because they're scared and are letting political bashing affect their decisions.

If that's true though why haven't I experienced it then? There are plenty of people of another descent where I live so that gives this city ample opportunity but they almost always take the awful jobs. In fact I even see a bunch waiting outside Home Depot desperate for a job on a regular basis.

Just what are these jobs that Americans don't want for a fair wage and who do you think were doing them before millions of illegal aliens and recently refugees that have flooded our borders?


Where has Trump ever said or implied that he doesn't like minorities? Unbelievable!

Actually, they're called facts. And there's a reason citizens of the EU are balking, Hollande is in le doghouse with his own people, and Poland refuses to jump on the "refugee" bandwagon. But there are none so blind as those who will not see.

Educate yourself.

We're screwed if Hillary gets in also.

But I'll be sure to come back to this thread when your apocalyptic vision doesn't happen and say "you were wrong"

Food service/restaurant jobs.

He has made fun of a disabled person. He has said he is against gay marriage. It may not even be limited to minorities though..he just loves to insult people. You can see numerous videos of his insults especially to women.
