I just heard about this and quickly read up on it. This was my reaction as well.

Hateful comments of an elitist, East Coast, Ivy League, liberal snob. Oh wait ..

Yes I’m sure your children will be much better off in a majority minority country. much, much better off. No doubt in my mind

Why wouldn't they be?

You remember what happened in Yugoslavia right?

You either get inter-ethnic conflict, or you need authoritarian measures to keep the peace. Either is a pretty dismal scenario.

Those are not the only two possibilities. Switzerland is an example of a country with multiple ethnolinguistic groups that doesn't fit either scenario. The US is attracting the best and the brightest from most of the so-called shitholes. Indeed, until recently, one of Trump's top aids was of Haitian origin. I'm sure she is thrilled to know what Trump thinks about her heritage.

The swiss have been able to keep their federation together for 1000 years. Part of this is national service that unites people in a common experience, part of it is their system of government via direct democracy. Likewise it is the same system of the canton system that allows for wide latitude in interpreting their federal laws, basically giving a lot of autonomy.

Here in the USA we have very little that unites us other than consumerism.

I love the idea of national service for every American. Military, Peace Corps, AmeriCorps. Say what you will about Israel, their share of military service is one of the contributors to their national cohesion.

I’m not sure you’ve quite put your finger on it.

Imagine me grabbing your shoulders, and gently shaking you with each word: go. pick. up. a. newspaper.

Not the PP, but what an asinine comment. Of course the story is all over the newspapers. The point is, have they named the sources, or is everyone satisfied with the usual "anonymous" sources? Perhaps we need to gently shake your shoulders?

Here’s a little clue. When the media outlets other than Fox report something true, the White House jumps all over it. Tonight, crickets from the place Trump calls a “dump.” They can’t deny because there so many witnesses confirmed by multiple news outlets.

FTFY.

National service would be a great thing for the USA. It would be a unifying experience that would bring together different economic classes as well as racial groups.

People tend to self-segregate when given the choice.

2. 53% of all immigrants in the US are on welfare, it's not like they are just living here cost free.

Who told you that, Donald Trump?

The numbers I've seen are in the 40% range for legal immigrants, but cash payments are essentially zero. Mainly state Medicaid programs, snap, free lunch, and section 8.

If those numbers are true it means that our system is broken.

Oh please do share with us “the numbers you’ve seen.” TIA!

Still waiting...

Glenn Beck has been ripping Trump to shreds over this tonight. Trump’s coalition of deplorables is fracturing.

The southern border illegals number in the millions. DH is discussing Trump, etc with a relative in another jurisdiction. Few if any illegals. Less than 200 Obama unaccompanied minors in the entire county. The entire state of Vermont got 5 through fiscal year 2017. Can we send the 13000 to Vermont?

+100
Apparently, the U.S. is the only country not allowed to limit immigration and decide who to admit. Every other country, however, is perfectly able to do so.

This has been the American way since our inception. We are not like other countries. We are an exceptional country. Because of our values, and our freedoms, and yes, our welcoming of those in search of a better life. If you don't like it, leave.

Wait a minute. Liberals are constantly telling the rest of us that we are NOT an exceptional country. Which is it? Make up your minds.

Let's go back to 2016...

The only disarrangement's I had with the President that time was his March Madness picks.

Let me tell you something. It's damn difficult to immigrate into Switzerland. It's one of THE most diffcult countries to immigrate to.

You should look into trying the term “emigrate.”

Actually, PP was perfectly correct in using the term "immigrate." Perhaps you need a refresher?
