Miller is a white nationalist scumbag.

He knew good and damned welll that Acosta just picked a couple of countries where the PRIMARY language is English. Anyone who’d think it was some “sign” is twisting a simple question into knots.

This bill is obviously designed to discriminate.

We don’t have a national language.
Last time I checked, there wasn't anything wrong or illegal with being white nor a nationalist. I know those are terrible things to be though if you're a liberal. Are you allowed to be an anti-white racist and a moderator? Just wondering.
If I were to say someone was a black nationalist scumbag, would that be considered racist?
Isn't the word nationalist defined as "exalting one nation above all others and placing primary emphasis on promotion of its culture and interests as opposed to those of other nations or supranational groups" ?

Actually, most legal immigration applicants are more than happy to learn English if it helps boost the score.

Who is against the requirement? From what I've observed, mostly ignorant white liberals.

not at all. Most of the world sees Miller as looking like a cartoon fool and Accosta looking like a serious journalist trying to get Miller to explain his data.

And your needing to say "end of story" is simply because you know your case is weak, and need to try to declare victory.



as to the primary point of this thread. most countries only require you have one the official languages if you are seeking citizenship. THAT is simply a statistical fact .

there is no need at all to make trump out as a racist, one as only to step back and watch as trump does it himself day after day.
Turns out trump is pretty much everything he accusing other of being, and none of the things he claims.

Trump has failed this nation on every level, his fan base is withering away and with has gone his power over the GOP, they are no longer nearly as worried about trump going after them as they are about being tied to trump in 2018.

this whole immigration overhaul suggestion from Trump is DEAD ON ARRIVAL. already Rs are saying "NOPE".

With trump so unfaithful to his party and to members of congress, why would any of them risk their career to help trump? Trump is liability to the GOP as a party and to most of its members in 2018.

Miller made it very very clear.

Unlike the VP in your company, Jim Acosta has plenty of opportunities to interact with people from all over the world. I'm pretty sure he has personally met Chinese people who speak English.

Oh, maybe I got it wrong. Maybe Jim tried to imply that the English spoken by immigrants from China, India, Mexico, Korea isn't good enough to be considered English. If that isn't racist, I don't know what it is! I don't speak Spanish, but I've no trouble with buying authentic Mexican food run by Mexican immigrants. So what language do they speak? Mexican?

Most of the world? what world? the liberal world?

Acosta is seen as a petulant child by most of the common sense world.

If he were indeed implying that which he wasn't, it wouldn't be racist. You clearly don't know what racist means.
