Gee, fancy that - people not voting for the people who've made hatred and bigotry towards them a key part of their campaign platform. How shocking!

Get a clue.
1 - Republicans have been for the last few decades, have been anti-union and pro-business - no matter what was good for workers, including sending jobs overseas and supported just about every trade deal that worked against the workers including NAFTA.

2 - Immigrants on a whole, are a very conservative group, but republicans (and their pundits) drive them to the other party.


3 - funneling money is a national pastime done by both parties, the republicans have historically been better at it, at all levels of government, and they've implemented more loopholes in laws to let it be more widespread. Simple to solve, but not going to happen.


So nobody else but white straight males are Christians?
Better tell that to the 500 million or so Catholics south of the border (in Mexico, and countries of Central & South America)
Talk about needing to get a clue.

Votes.

They want Illegals, because their anchor children=votes. The dangle the hopes of citizenship like a piece of cheese in front of a rat . These people will chase that cheese and vote with hopes of getting citizenship. They will tell their kids to vote democrat so it helps them. It is a endless cycle.

Same goes for refugees. If Democrats import refugees. Those people will most likely believe the democrats brought them here so in return they will get votes.

It is a sick method of staying in power , but suicidal at the same time. Look at California that state was a republican controlled state (1980's) until they started to import the millions of Illegals.


Now it is lost in the abyss forever hinged with debt, illegals, and high taxes.

Its been the far left and the shady Clintons with their NAFTA deal that have taken jobs from the American workers and on to China, Mexico, etc. Not the republicans these past few decades.

I disagree with the Republicans making much of American anti-union but at least we aren't getting told to hit the bricks your job has been outsourced to Bangladesh to "stay competitive" under Republican rule like we have the last 8 years under the far left.

Do you think a massive influx of unskilled, uneducated people who refuse to assimilate is beneficial to the nation? Do you feel importing people who want to subjugate women and kill gays is a good thing?

If you think this is great, take a look at Minneapolis and Dearborn.
They don't really know what they want. They are followers. If their liberal heroes tell them that is correct thought, then they run with it. If they look good on Facebook supporting militant Islamic Terrorists entering our country under the cover of refugee status, they run with it with very little thought or reflection.

Liberals are lemmings. You won't find an independent thinker in the entire lot.

I don't get it either OP.
Obama created the Syrian problem and the world is paying the price. Europe is getting to be a scary place and Trump is right to slow down the flow until we can figure it out.

The majority of refugees are only looking for a better life but one has to question why many of the countries in the Middle East refused to help out and welcome their fellow muslims in. You have to wonder why?

It is so scary to think what one determined radical extremist can do to us and it is nearly impossible to determine the good from the bad. it is a risk to welcome everyone into our home.
It is a risk to welcome so many that are opposed to our ways and they refuse to assimilate.


The immigrants of yesterday who wanted to work and become part of America by learning our customs and language are nothing like the ones today who bring their culture and associated problems with them where they carve out sections of our cities and towns to resemble the homes they left. There has even been calls in communities that would allow sharia law to be practiced.

A house divided cannot stand.

No Liberal ever called Carter racist when he did actions like this during Iran Hostage Crisis.

The more you know.

I'm not sure why you're picking a fight with me over the "straight, white, Christian male" statement. It's an objective fact that the far right Trump-suckers only care about those people; I never said that only "straight whites" were Christian. Also, I don't see what Mexico or South America has to do with this; they didn't vote in the last election here, and Trump and his sucker cronies hate them anyway.

1) Islam is a peaceful religion


2) If the Reps are for it we are against it.


3) For the same reason we support killing babies and calling a man with a penis a woman.

That is nothing but utter BS, and you know it. George "Dubya" Bush created the latest problems in the Middle East when he and his oil-hungry buddies toppled Iraq, allowing the terrorists an area to set up operations free of any ruling nation state. While one could argue that Obama could have done more - in theory - to cleanup that mess, he was hamstrung by a worthless, do-nothing Republican controlled Congress for 6 out of 8 years. Classic Republicanism: claim that government does nothing and is worthless, and then prove that when elected.

As for the rest of your blasts against immigrants, those are also nothing but laughable, ignorant falsehoods. No serious person in this nation is actually demanding sharia law replace the law of the land (any more so than right-wing loons want to rule by the bible), and are you forgetting how immigrants of the past gathered together in their own ethnic conclaves in cities throughout the nation? Or, did you think the reason so many cities have a "China-town" or a "little Italian" is to simply draw in tourists?

Friggin' ignorant idiocy - there is NOTHING "different" or "scary" about legitimate Muslim immigrants to this nation that we haven't dealt with before: different religions, skin-colors, languages, food, etc. Grow the hell up and be thankful the bigots of the past didn't successfully keep your ancestors out of this nation... although if you voted for Trump, we may have been better off had that happened.
