Appealing To His Base?

Nothing is wrong with them. But Haitians and ALL immigrants bring much of what they are leaving behind. As a country we have to ask ourselves if we really want to be more like Haiti.



I think its silly that whether we think the immigrant is nice or not matters to our overall policy.

That’s just silly..

Are you “more like” Ireland? Are you more like Italy? More like Poland? More like sub-Saharan Africa?

As with my country, yours has been largely formed by immigrants from all over the world. And yes, they bring “part of what they left behind”....so what?

So does all the senseless massive debt, senseless killing and rapidly degrading infrastructure in the US qualify it to be one of those shole countries too? (Reminds me of quite a few other countries I've visited over the years).

i know people who say that.

I dont. See, im a big fan of "nuance". I think its hyperbolic and impossible to suggest an entire functioning country can be a shole

It's the government that causes a country to be a shole, but it's the people who live there that allowed it to happen.

Some of the people are good folks, they know they made a mistake but they're are sticking around trying to remedy the problem. Then there are others who helped create that mess that are running away, hiding and doing nothing to remedy the situation.

I'm curious as to why a leader would want those who can't handle adversity to come into their country and help create another mess, doesn't make sense.

And there are some that have essentially been pillaged by first world countries of their labour and resources; pitted on against another.

Wow!

Now we blame all of a country for the desolation caused by a dictator.

Blame the poor, the weak, the sick and the imprisoned!

Those are usually the ones who fight to be free if they have the courage, the fat cats that suck up to the dictator don't.

This goes back to the actual word that was used. I don't actually have a problem with the S-word and honestly don't mind the president using it in casual conversation but to say that both of them used the word in the same way would be disingenuous. Obama was talking about the situation in a war zone while Trump deliberately referred to people's home countries as being S-holes. That's not the same thing.

He dropped an S bomb. You know it, Lindsey Graham knows it, I know it and I think most of his supporters know it.
The US had thousands of US military personnel in Africa. Local support is vital. How stupid can it be to insult our partners?

One thing they typically bring is the expectation that the gov't will take care of them. And, we usually deliver.

What do you have to offer as evidence this is the case?
