[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, I am a unicorn.

Lifelong Dem. Big Obama supporter. Never liked HRC and voted against her in 08.

Can't stand the Donald. Hate his style, character, lack of self-control etc.

But I am 100 percent with him on illegal immigration. I have almost become a single issue voter.

No one IRL knows I feel this way.

Not sure I could actually vote for him when it comes down to it, but if I did, I would be voting for this one issue. I feel like voting for HRC is a vote for a borderless America.

I really don't comprehend people who say they are undecided.  I am about as far left as you can get, and I would vote for Antonin Scalia over a Democrat who was as ignorant and arrogant as Donald Trump.  Saying you are with him on any issue is nonsense because he does not have any coherent position on any issue.

He's exactly like the loud drunk, aggressive parent at the youth sports game who doesn't even know the rules of the game but is sure that he could do a better job than the refs and the coaches. At the debate, he scoffed at the military leadership and asked "why do we announce in advance that we are going to attack?"  (an an answer to a question about Syria as he was discussing a city in Iraq).  Does he honestly think US generals JUST NEVER THOUGHT OF A SURPRISE ATTACK?   Like that's some new idea that he discovered?  His contempt for our armed forces is mind boggling.  Likewise with his announcement early on that he would kill and torture the families of Jihadists. He then had to walk that back because people who actually know stuff informed him that our soldiers won't commit war crimes just because he says so.

On immigration, you do know that:

1. More Mexicans (who are 52% if undocumented immigrants) are leaving the US than entering, right and have been for a couple of years now?  So a wall would actually increase the number of undocumented immigrants?

2.  Economist have repeatedly concluded that undocumented immigrants pay more in taxes (sales, payroll, etc.) than they use in services, resulting in a net plus to the US government? The U.S. Social Security Administration estimated that in 2013 undocumented immigrants—and their employers—paid [b]$13 billion in payroll taxes alone[/b] for [b]benefits they will never get[/b]. Immigrants can receive schooling and emergency medical care, but [b]they cannot get welfare or food stamps[/b].

Sorry, but if you are a single issue Trump voter on immigration, then you are an idiot.

So, OP. no comment when presented with actual facts?[/quote]

I think I've answered those concerns, but not directly. I do not support a wall. It's ridiculous. I do not support deportation.

I am sure that immigrants contribute to the society. But a) it sickens me that the US taxpayer subsidizes big business use of cheap labor (we pay for the social services when big business won't offer benefits). Your point about not getting benefits is not true.

For instance, in California, CAPI -- a state-funded program -- pays cash benefits to immigrants who don't qualify for food stamps.

and b) I think illegal and low-skilled immigrants depress the labor market for low-skilled American workers, making it harder for them to join the middle class.

I forgive your for calling me names.[/quote]
