The thing is America is not any other nation. It is a completely artificial nation built with immigrants.
And nobody…not even Trump, is saying cut off all immigration. You need to learn to separate illegal immigration, and legal immigration. I’m all for people coming over here the right way, but I’m also not under the illusion that its the 1800s and the government is giving land away to anyone who wants to settle it anymore either. We’ve had immigration quotas as far back as 1882…its not exactly like limiting immigration is suddenly a new concept.
The original natives lost, and were driven onto reservations.
You mean…the original natives did a s~~~ty job regulating their borders? Look how well things turned out for them.
This is what America was built on.
It was also built on laws, which illegal immigrants have a total disregard for.
Oh yeah…and during eras where our nation absorbed large amounts of immigrants, they all came here and learned English, and there wasn’t any welfare programs or tax credits for them to leech.
It is folly to presume I am not aware of what is going on. I am here. Related to this top, Trump is scamming everyone off these issues, offering air in response to these frustrations.
I’m sorry man, you need to pull your head out of your ass. The fact is most Americans do not want amnesty for illegals. Go ahead and google it.
Is Trump scamming everyone by wanting to get rid of illegals, or is he saying he will do what most Americans want done? If anything the scam is that the entire democratic field, and most of the republican field campaigned on amnesty for illegals even though its not what the American public wants. Do you know why? Its because they don’t give a f~~~ about you and they are more interested in picking up the 10-15 million votes these illegals will provide once given amnesty…that sir, is the scam.
Throw in also that wealth is accumulating at the top at higher rates
And this is an issue that has increased more rapidly during the Obama years than it did during the Bush years. Its not like Trump is going to magically f~~~ over poor people…in fact, he wants to give them a huge tax cut. Nobody would pay taxes on the first 25,000 dollars of their income, and between 25,001 and 50,000 you’d pay 10%. Low wage earners would be paying basically nothing in federal taxes. Short of just handing people money, like via bulls~~~ tax credits the democrats love, I don’t know how you could propose a tax system more friendly to low wage earners.
Don’t get me wrong…I’m fully aware Trump is a bigmouth asshole…but at the same time a lot of what he is saying is what a lot of Americans want done once you filter the emotion, over the top antics, and trolling out of it. He’s not exactly radical or extreme for wanting to do what every other country does and enforce our immigration laws, for wanting to simplify one of the most complex tax systems in the world, or for supporting the second amendment…its just a shame the choices of candidates we were given that supported these things was so slim.
