his comment was not racially motivated but was merely a true statement about the hapless state of these countries. And, indeed, those countries are in a bad way.
I did not say this - nowhere in my post did I suggest that "money" is the measure of quality of life.Wrong!! Counting your greatness by how much money you have in the bank is nuts.
Who made this conclusion for you? I mean, you weren't there, were you?
The people are what make a country. So.....
So.... Neither Donald nor his base have any business throwing stones.
Nor do his accusers.
Sounds like nobody has any business calling anywhere else a ----hole. Fine by me.
Trump needs to visit the Statue of Liberty
STATUE OF LIBERTY
“Give me your tired, your poor/Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free/The wretched refuse of your teeming shore/Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me/I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”
"The Statue of Liberty Enlightening the World" was a gift of friendship from the people of France to the United States and is recognized as a universal symbol of freedom and democracy. The Statue of Liberty was dedicated on October 28, 1886. It was designated as a National Monument in 1924. Employees of the National Park Service have been caring for the colossal copper statue since 1933.
In 1892, the U.S. government opened a federal immigration station on Ellis Island, located near Bedloe’s Island in Upper New York Bay. Between 1892 and 1954, some 12 million immigrants were processed on Ellis Island before receiving permission to enter the United States. From 1900-14, during the peak years of its operation, some 5,000 to 10,000 people passed through every day.
You don't know much do you. In the research field, there are immigrants from every country in the world, and they are sought out for their scientific and research abilities and NOT by the color of their skin, or the country of their birth. The benefit of this is massive. Without this, many scientific discoveries would never have been made and research would be in a very poor place.My point is that Trump is very much correct when he says we should not seek out individuals from countries like Haiti, as immigrants from nations such as Norway would benefit the United States more in significant ways.
And yet a hundred years later, Ireland is a nice place and Haiti remains... well, Haiti. Funny, that.55 million Americans today are descendants form a poophole country -- 19th century Ireland.
Had Donald lived 100 years ago, he probably wouldn't have wanted them, either.
And yet a hundred years later, Ireland is a nice place and Haiti remains... well, Haiti. Funny, that.
Do you mean, the poop hole that Obama sanctioned and bombed, or the poop hole where Obama was born and where his dad said he was born?Because our previous president, a man who was a better leader, better family man, and infinitely better human being in every conceivable way than Donald will ever be in a dozen lifetimes, had a father who came from one of those poophole countries.
*mic drop*
Really, so your claim as a Christian is that Ireland is a better place, when it leads the world in child and sex trafficking, and statutory rape is only rape for under 11 year olds. You mean, Haiti, where Hillary Clinton stole millions from?And yet a hundred years later, Ireland is a nice place and Haiti remains... well, Haiti. Funny, that.
Inferior? You mean like the Irish, Slavics, Russians, British, Spanish, etc., all who came illiterate, diseased and lazy. Ireland has shaped up as a child and sex trafficking, pedophile sex haven, filled with AIDS and disease.Indeed -- and yet, 100 years ago, we accepted people from both inferior (I'm getting a little tired of writing "poophole") countries...
Now, you're quite correct that 100 years later, Ireland has shaped up quite nicely, and Haiti is indeed... Haiti. The million dollar question therefore becomes:
Is there something in the respective histories of these two countries which could explain that, or is Haiti still an inferior country simply because it has inferior people, which is why Donald doesn't want them coming here?
Except, immigrants from Norway do not benefit the United States, and Trump never said that. What has Norway contributed, and Haiti is a reflection of the U.S. and not Africa.My point is that Trump is very much correct when he says we should not seek out individuals from countries like Haiti, as immigrants from nations such as Norway would benefit the United States more in significant ways.
