Trump - “Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?”

[Anonymous]

^ I used the term “National Review type” because you did. I agree with the NR on a majority of issues. I also believe pockets of parts of the Rust Belt will have a resurgence.

Who helped Haiti to remain a shithole after the earthquake? That's right, Hillary Clinton and her hubby. She collected $500 million dollars dedicated to Haiti disaster recovery through her phony foundation and what people of Haiti received? Next to zilch.
How many houses did she build? Where is the hospital that she promised to build? People of Haiti know very well that she stole from them.
And she has guts to Tweet about the earthquake. Better tell us where is the Haitian money, not-a-racist Hilly? Chelsea's $3 m wedding and XXXX m condo, what else did you buy?

So stupid. Even if that were all true, failing to deliver donations doesn’t cause a crisis. Ween yourself from trash news.

I know that’s a bet JD Vance is making. Let the masses move to Cleveland.

And we DEFINITELY want to go back to that period when kids went to work at age 14, the majority of Americans lived in poverty (look it up), average work week was 60 hours. MAGA!

That was not the point.

He was saying why allow the people from these countries to come here.

You know, like your ancestors did, for a better life. Their country being poor does not make them unworthy.

He also said that he would be ok with Norwegians coming here. Why?

Ok but he is right their hometown is horrible. We are not a charity and why don't they stay in their hometown and work to make it better? Again we are not a charity.

If you could time travel, would you say the same thing to your ancestors who immigrated to the US?

I am first generation and my great grandma worked hard as a single mom in her country to become wealthy. My parents then came to the US LEGALLY not for a better life bc they were rich in their home countries. I am first gen Hispanic american and a trump voter.

So many like you. Ungrateful. You think being patriotic means you get what you think you deserve. My family didn't die for ten generations for you to move here and take a dump on in front of the golden door.

America had always been built by immigrants. Your great grandmother working hard in a different country entitles you to NOTHING, nor should it. But I do suspect that she would be a better American than you will ever be.

I know that you like to blame Hillary for everything, but Haiti’s history is so much more complicated than that. I think you’ll find this enlightening- please take a minute and give it a read.

You work hard to get what you deserve not panhandle. The only panhandlers in my grandmas country are seniors who are blind or missing limbs or are physically disabled. No one takes advantage of the gov because they can't. Fyi several in my family went to war for this country and several of us are surgeons and an internist. YOU SHOULD BE TELLING THE IMMIGRANTS WHO GIVE UP ON THEIR COUNTRY THAT COME HERE TO TAKE A SHIT IN THE US not me or my family. We ABIDE BY RULES AND LAWS AND WE DEF DO NOT THINK WE ARE ENTITLED TO ANYTHING BECAUSE WE WORK THE SWEAT OFF OUR BACKS AND NOT THE CHARITY CASES YOU WELCOME TO THIS COUNTRY AND ARE HAPPY TO SUPPORT.

Pick one - you can't have both. There was no welfare state when my Russian Jew ancestors came here. There was barely a k-12 public school system!

And we DEFINITELY want to go back to that period when kids went to work at age 14, the majority of Americans lived in poverty (look it up), average work week was 60 hours. MAGA!

DP. Way to miss the point by a mile.

The point is that when my ancestors (also Russian Jews) came here, when Ellis island welcomed the poor and hungry, they had to support themselves. THAT is why the borders were so open! If half of all immigrants quickly ended up on welfare, with American taxpayers supporting them, you would have seen the borders shut.

So, to reiterate the other PP's point, you can have either a) a wide open immigration policy or b) a generous welfare system in which all needy get food, housing, medical, and other benefits. You cannot have both.

Many Africans and Haitians are posting extensive defenses of their countries on Facebook. When asked why they left they'd countries, they answer a variant of what the US offers them. I find it interesting that they left countries but now jump to their defense.

We can debate immigration all day, but for me the point of this whole issue is this...

We have a president who has demeaned the role he occupies by inappropriate language (and most probably, sentiment) and when he’s called out on it, doesn’t even have the balls to own his mistake, never mind apologise for it.
