We are taking it back after years of bad decisions made for our country.
In four years we will be in the same place we are at today.

Not really - it's the top working to screw the bottom and the bottom (deplorables) working to screw themselves as they always have. But if you think about it - they are not screwing themselves. They can then cry poverty and mental illness and breed and go on for generations on our dime while the Central Americans work hard.


The middle and upper middle will be fine.

He's just expressing his Nazi inclinations. We all know he's harbored these sentiments for quite some time now. Nothing new here. Move along.

Potty mouth Trump is at it again.

But I want more in the way of merit based immigration too. That's the way LEGAL immigration already works if only someone would enforce it. However, the few jobs that can get a LEGAL immigrant in are doctor or scientific research. It's VERY hard to get in legally.

But do you see very many residents of "good" countries wanting to come here anyway? Their own countries are better. They change their minds when they learn that we don't even have national health insurance, not much of a safety net for when someone runs into bad luck, a great divide between rich and poor, and a mess of a government that just takes and takes and gives to the rich.

Can you name a single benefit of importing poor people? It has nothing to do with race. I wouldn't want people from North Korea or Moldova either.

There would be far fewer looking to come here if we would quit destroying their countries and robbing them of their wealth.

Would you like more reasons?
Aren't you tired of seeing them being taken advantage of by the elites who want them for votes or cheep labor ?

Sounds like you'd be happy if they took ALL of our jobs? SMFH

With the new tax plan, some of these jobs will now pay enough to attract legal citizens to do them. Unless of course we just dilute the job pool some more with more friggin third world labor.

Some people just can't see the forest through the trees.

Quotes like this (which we hear all the time) are the reason the KKK and the American Nazi party supported him. And this is who the Evangelical "Christians" support? Really? (Facepalm)

C'mon Republicans, is this how you want to be seen? Because these days you are.

Oh, stop! There is nothing racist about not wanting immigrants who will be a burden to us rather than a benefit. You people make everything about race and make the most outlandish claims that the KKK, etc. would agree with this based on racism. Just stop it already!

He didn't dehumanize anyone. He made a truthful statement about some countries. Try again!
