His border policy is simply this: I don't want brown people here.Moving Sale wrote:Not sure who you were directing that to 88, but I was commenting on his idiocy not his border policy, if he has one.
Blah blah blah88 wrote:Your takes, while predictable, do not address the substance of the immigration issue. So I will present it to you succinctly:
What should the immigration policy of this nation be at this time, and why?
Here is my take (to be fair):
A sovereign nation such as the United States is not required to permit anyone not presently a citizen of the United States to enter the country and become a citizen. It should only do so if adding new citizens to the nation benefits the nation (or if there are humanitarian reasons that compel the United States to act notwithstanding the absence of any benefit). I acknowledge that there are reasons why a sovereign nation such as the United States might want to encourage immigration and grant citizenship to immigrants at various times. Examples might include the need for a particular type of labor, or the need to settle swaths of territory that are largely uninhabited and therefore undefended. These reasons tend to change over time. And the immigration laws must change to account for changing times. For example, if technological improvements reduce the demand for unskilled labor, and the unemployment rate for large populations of unskilled labor already in the country becomes too high (thereby suppressing their wages and resulting in poverty etc.), it would be counterproductive to the health and well-being of the citizens of the nation to have immigration policies that encourage large populations of unskilled labor to immigrate to the country and become citizens. In that circumstance, it would be appropriate to have policies that favor immigration by people who can benefit the economy and the health and prosperity of the current citizens of the country. Furthermore, regardless of anyone's particular position on immigration, there must be strong border security, which is enforced. Absent border security and enforcement, immigration policy is a joke. And it has been a joke for decades and decades. It is time to fix it.

I think people are concerned because most normal people know when to be crude, if that is even an option for them. I have read a lot of sentencing transcripts for penty of bad dudes and not once has a judge ever called the defendant a fucking POS even though they murdered someone, or raped or robbed them or whatever fucked up thing they did. There are, of course, thousands of examples of this concept. Try and keep up with stuff you should have learned in grade school.88 wrote:If the countries Trump referred to as “shitholes” were not as he described, why would mass numbers of their citizens want to immigrate here?
88 wrote:I have no idea who Weaselberg is
So it's all about the ?88 wrote:Apparently, you can’t handle someone who speaks the truth. It isn’t a racial issue. It is a question of whether it is a good idea to import large numbers of poor, uneducated people from places that do not have highly functioning societies to become new citizens. Third world immigrants make no sense when we have millions of unemployed first world citizens. In fact, one could reasonably assert that importing uneducated immigrants is racist because it tends to harm the poorest in America, which unfortunately tend to be uneducated “brown” people (Screwy’s term).

I wish Trump would tell the assholes on both sides of the aisle during the State of the Union address to quit being fucking pussies, shut the fuck up and do their fucking jobs.
Tell me, have you ever been to any of those countries, Screwy? I work in these places and I can catagorically state that Trump is spot on. Those places areshit holes and we need not apologize for saying so. Furthermore, unless the people attempting to immigrate here have a useful skill, we shouldn’t be letting them show up on our doorstep and giving them sanctuary.Screw_Michigan wrote:It's true, beyond any shadow of a doubt

But I agree, he chooses his words poorly and does not bring honor to the office as Reagan did. But there is a long history of defiling the office. Clinton shoved cigars in interns and lied about it to the nation. And Obama refused to enforce the nation’s laws that he did not agree with.

Maybe you are insane?
Just for starters, can you imagine how many million productive Americans either came directly (or had parents/grandparents who immigrated) from one of the "shithole countries" Donald was speaking of?

Something missing from the discussion in this thread is that Trump's comments were apparently not uttered in a public forum. The comments were made in a closed door meeting with six Senators and fed to the Press by an aide to a Democrat senator (https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white- ... ns-n836946). Trump may have said exactly what is being reported (and thus his denial may be a lie). None of us have any way to know. But a President should be able to say whatever he wants however he wants in a non-public meeting to get his point across without fear that his enemies and a willing Press will try to use his choice of words to undermine his policy objectives and his presidency. Furthermore, people in third world shitholes wouldn't be upset today (if they even are) if the Press didn't rush out to publish the comments, which have no use except to undermine the president and his policy objectives. MS said he never heard a judge call a defendant a POS even though they murdered someone. And that may be true, at least in a courtroom. But MS has apparently never clerked for a judge or been privy to private conversations between them, particularly after the case has ended.
I laffedAny person who does not want to live in a corrupt society would do the same.

It was an oval office meeting with lawmakers.
It is routine for the media to be briefed on a meeting such as that.
If a president says something as mind-boggling as what Don said yesterday, of course it is going to be included in the briefing.
At the moment it was said, you know that jaws dropped to the floor.
Nobody in their right mind thinks that is going to stay in the room.
Beyond that, the White House was asked yesterday to respond to what Don said, and they put out a statement that gibbered around and DID NOT DENY that it is what Donald said.
If he didn't say it (which is what he claimed on Twitter this morning), or if they absolutely did not want it to be known as something Don had said, then why didn't the WH forcefully DENY that it was said?
He said it.
He's a stupid ass.
