"Trump asked why we want all these people from "all these ****hole countries"

Crude or not, what did he say that isn't true?

Why do we WANT them?

We have enough problems here already. Why do we want more?

Yup the left tries to fight poverty by importing more of it.

Newsflash: Their ancestors came from somewhere else, too, and they weren't necessarily the first to get here.

And why would it matter that one's ancestors came from some place else, anyway? That's true of almost everyone everywhere! You think people should just have a right to invade other countries on that basis? A Hobbesian war of all against all, is that what you want?

Or would the world be better off if we all agreed to recognize borders and let people do their own thing in their own "safe spaces" otherwise known as countries?

Due to you and people like you this term has become meaningless.

So answer me. How does it benefit America? Or anywhere else for that matter?

It shouldn’t be too much of a twist for you to get an answer so go ahead, address the issue.

Or maybe you can’t because you have an agenda to promote.

Bag of vomit.

That is how America was built in case you never learned history.

I do not trust the crude with making good decisions for the country.

What country wouldn't be socialist if they were in a similar situation? lol
Under those circumstances you could be Breatharians if you were so inclined. Nice gig.

We already admitted enough of the world's poor into the U.S. over the last 30 years. The quota is filled.

Time to stop now.

I voted no primarily because I think it was an unnecessary and rude comment.
