Because they don't care.

The ones who do speak up.


Because there is nothing to condem. I agree with him. There is no future for us, I.e. The people currently living on the country, if we just give the country away.

I agree with King 100%. We can't just give our nation away to foreigners.


Are you a native American? Everyone else is a "foreigner".


Nope. We conquered the land from the natives. That's how it works. If ISIS or Mexico wants to invade and give it a try, have at it.

DP... white man may have done so, but the country was built by foreigners from all over the world, some came willingly, others were forced.


Agreed. And if they are here they can stay. That doesn't mean we need to open the flood gates to everybody else.


Another DP...so it was ok for your ancestors to come and make a life here, but now that you have yours, you selfishly tell everyone else to fuck off? That isn't an American value. Sorry.

#notsorry


The mindset of today's Republican in a nutshell. "I got mine, f*ck all of you,"

It's a human value. It's a natural value. I take something and make it mine, then I defend it against others that want to take it. I'm perfectly proud to share that point of view and I find your point of view to be suicidal.

We gain nothing by admitting poor immigrants who don't share our values. If there is something we need, like an immigrant with specialized training, then we should admit them.

DP... when your more than likely poor ancestors came here, they did not "share" the values with many other Americans. Why is the poor Polish immigrant from 50 yrs ago better than the poor brown immigrant today?

The mindset of a typical communist: you don't own what's yours and it's for the state to give away.

You are still a foreigner. And dollars down that YOU did not conquer it from anyone and also chances are that your ancestors came here seeking a better life - unless your ancestors were wealthy immigrants, which is uncommon.

1. The country needed immigrants then to grow, it doesn't today. 2. Those immigrants shared our culture, our religion, and our morals.

How are we giving this country away? By allowing in immigrants? But, haven't we been doing this for the past 400 years? Most people are not advocating for illegal immigrants to flood our borders. Most people who are against the wall believe that it's a waste of money as it will not deter the most desperate. It's a bad ROI. And even Trump has admitted that MX will not be paying for the wall. Some of us already knew this and that's why we didn't think the wall was the best use of taxpayer $.

I inherited my share of the country from those that claimed it, fought for it, defended it. It's MINE now. It's MY SAY (our say) as to whether I share it. And I say NO. You say yes, open the floodgates and give it away. But luckily more people agree with me.

We don't need anything that today's immigrants offer.

? "Those immigrants" were from all over the world. How could they have shared the same religion, culture, morals?

Did the Chinese immigrants out west believe in a Christian God? Did the Jewish immigrant? A 150 yrs ago many Americans thought that the Irish and Polish were filthy and criminals and didn't want them here. Those Americans didn't think those white immigrants shared the same culture or morals.

You need to revisit American history.

Really? I don't see unemployed Americans willing to work in the farms for $10/hr.

You may want to consult with a US History book that is not whitewashed, but catholics and jews were considered pariahs then (and still are to some people). And certainly the Chinese who build the railroad system or the African-American who kept the south economy moving and then built the northern manufacturing sector would all disagree with you.

Many of our high tech innovations have come from immigrants, even today. Immigrants started Google, Yahoo, eBay, etc.. Many doctors and scientists working on cutting edge research are immigrants. Yes, we do need those immigrants.

Actually Trump lost the popular vote by 3 million give or take a few. So even that statement of yours is wrong.

So we don't need a Steve Jobs? Ok, lets send Apple back to Syria, is that the solution?
What about the high achieving non-white American high school students, most of whom are the cream of the crop of the science and technology fields and the future of our economy, you want to tell them they should go back to India and China and Japan and Korea where their grandparents came from?
