Then why don't you have the courage of your convictions? No ones going to hurt you. That's not what you're afraid of. What you're afraid of is that someone will make you look stupid for your position. Maybe that should tell you something. |
She doesn't because she knows it's wrong. I am no longer willing to give Trump supporters the benefit of the doubt after this week. You are not good people. And I wish you were vocal IRL, so I can avoid you. I don't need that kind of venom in my life. |
Smart people who disagree with you need therapy? Thanks. |
No, paranoid, smart (that's debatable though) people do. |
Cling to those hopes and dreams. Donald is one thing: business. Business seeks to do one thing: make maximum profit. You're silly to believe he'd do anything about millions of people who undercut the wages and workers' rights of citizens and who act as a great wedge issue for easily led people. |
I look at it this way........... Clinton has promised not to deport anyone here illegally. Based on past experience, this means it is likely we will have more illegal immigration. She has not made illegal immigration a priority. In fact, she has said part of her “first 100 days” plan is to push for immigration reform, which according to her means a path to citizenship for the millions of illegal immigrants here. Sorry, but I don’t believe those who break our laws should be rewarded. On the other hand, Trump has promised to stop illegal immigration. Will he be totally successful? Probably not. But, I can feel confident that our borders will not be the sieve it will be with Clinton. |
How is he going to stop illegal immigration? And what will he do with the illegals already here? |
For one, he will better secure our borders. A wall, a fence, protection. The fact that the Border Patrol Agents Union supports Trump speaks volumes. They know the issues. They have said repeatedly that they cannot do their jobs because of rules this administration has put in place. http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/border-agent-we-might-as-well-abolish-our-immigration-laws-altogether/article/2582401 As for those already here..... not sure, but I can guarantee that they will not become citizens. Some will be sent back. Some will likely be allowed to stay. But, he won’t make it easy. Also, I am hopeful that under Trump, “Kate’s Law” will be signed into law. |
How is he going to pay for all that? And what would that wall look like? What will happen to their jobs, their houses, their American citizen children (who are protected by the Constitution)? |
| With all the problems this country has, it puzzles me that so many people who frequent DCUM, which is generally a pretty upper UMC population, are so incensed by undocumented immigrants to the point that it is THE issue they will vote on. |
My brother, who is more conservative than I am, pointed out that 1) reducing illegal immigration is bending a curve, not stoppable but is reducable or increasable with various polices and incentives, rewards, consequences and 2) illegal immigration is a minor issue. If everyone had jobs, reasonably good jobs, no one would care about illegals, one way or the other. Since people are uneasy about jobs and the economy, they're pointing their finger at illegals. There are areas where illegal immigration has direct consequences and has changed cities and cultures, but DC isn't really one of them. I think my brother's explanation is the only explanation why DCUMers care so strongly about illegal immigration. |
Venom? Listen to yourself and all the liberals responding to this thread. You all are the hateful, judgmental ones who are calling names and hurling insults at anyone who isn't "on your side"! Acting like children, honestly. |
Oh no! Are we intolerant of your intolerance? Sad! |
Pp, with all of that anger, is the one who would benefit from therapy. But they were only using that as an insult. They don't actually believe in the benefits of therapy, they think mental health issues are a funny joke. |
You are very confused. |
