This guy is an idiot. He really doesn’t know why Norwegians aren’t trying to immigrate to America?

Right wing blogger and founder of Redstate has an opinion about that.

This has always been the reality: Not everyone who supports Trump is a racist, but they do not consider racism to be disqualifying in the President of the United States.

There’s a reason why Democrats push for refugees/immigrants with no merit based system like Canada and other countries have, and that’s for votes. Democrats could care less about keeping America safe or wanting only the best come into our country. For Democrats, amnesty equal votes. So, they believe.

And that’s just the cold hard truth.

Yeah, unlike the extremely wealthy who came over on boats from Europe to Ellis Island. You do realize most of the people who came to this country in the first place were poor, right?

The Nordic countries received the highest ranking for protecting workers rights on the International Trade Union Confederation's 2014 Global Rights Index, with Denmark being the only nation to receive a perfect score.[22]
Sweden at 56.6% of GDP, Denmark at 51.7% and Finland at 48.6% reflect very high public spending.[14] One key reason for public spending is the large number of public employees.

They also don't have a 47% who pay nothing, they don't hand out that 'safety net' to just anyone either, and if you don't work, you don't get to use the 'safety net'. They also have massively higher taxes than the US. Liberals wouldn't support anything that goes into actually making a country like Norway work.

Now that's rich! Another pot calling the kettle black.

To proudly display such hypocrisy is pushing the bar to subterranean levels.

Sad

Facts tend to confuse, which forces them to turn to their list of personal insults and wild assumptions.

People would rather be lied to than told they are being lied to. They want more of the last eight years, which proves the assertion... and the irony.






As for Trump -If that is actually what he said then I agree with the basis, but not the way he said it. We do need people who are educated and who want to assimilate, not people who hate this country and come here for menial jobs and welfare support. That is counterproductive and a burden on society. 20m mostly uneducated illegals are well more than we can handle as it is.

Please enlighten me. 95% of all other countries in the world have immigrants that actually bring something they are looking for . Im not saying that we don't, but I've seen stories of Indian exchange students with masters degrees that are forced to go back to India because they were only here for school but then we give a green card to someone that speaks 0 english and relies on government housing and benefits. Its total nonsense that needs to END.
don't expect to get an answer

We don't have to import them. We have plenty who are homegrown. SMDH.
