In 1980 we absorbed 125,000 Cubans fleeing communism. Why not absorb these people who are fleeing capitalism?

Why would he need to "play up his base"? Think.

I am all for him doing so. This is an attack against the US and we have the military to protect us from invasion.

Nobody is interested in turning the U.S. into a banana republic like the majority of Latin America.

The fact that this has to be repeated over and over tells us that the left doesn't care. They have heard this and know this. They want what benefits their cause. The humans behind it are useless to them other that to provide the left with ammo against the right.

I'm not bothered with increased border patrols and I actually have advocated for that instead of a wall, but it'll end ugly if we don't tighten up on employers who hire people who are not authorized to work in the US in the first place.

I say this because the optics on a soldier shooting someone are very bad.

Meanwhile, some jerk in Anytown, USA who wants to save money is hiring the people who make it past the troops anyway.

Fine the employers and the flow will slow down for all but the most desperate people, who are likely refugees, not job hunters.

Totally agree. Hold businesses accountable for hiring ILLEGAL ALIENS!

Does all this appeal to his base? Keep out anyone who is not a white male like me?


It's time to get over it. Come to the border, file the paperwork, and let our well developed system process people just like we have for generations. Not everyone is trying to "storm the southern border" as Donald would have his followers believe. Most are ordinary people trying to escape autocrats who would have them killed for their democratic beliefs.

White males like you are not entering the country illegally and in droves. When Sweden starts sending us droves of illegals, your race baiting might have some legitimacy.

And you apply to immigrate here at an embassy or consulate, not at the border. If you wanted to emigrate to Nigeria (no white European country for you!!!!), you would do it at a consulate or embassy here.

Your hyperbole and falsehood are more or less on the same level as the Dotard's.

There's more ways than nukes to bring down a country. These invasions are well thought out plans of someone bigger than the people doing the invading. They have to be stopped.

You are afraid of a non-existent threat. Anything to get you focused on things that don't really matter.
