[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're all fully aware of Hillary's shady activity (private server, emails, speeches to banks, etc. etc. etc...).  
But Hillary never lied to me personally, never stole anything from me personally, and frankly, I think she looks very presidential:  about as buttoned-up, conservative, and well-coiffed as a physical representative of our country should look.
Donald Trump, on the other hand, has offended me personally (child of immigrants here), and I find his demeanor and his business background (casinos, steaks, cheap ties and a bogus university) embarrassing.  And if he can implore the crowd to assess his alleged sexual abuse victims appearance, then I can do the same to him:  He's kind of gross (and the sniffling doesn't help).[/quote]
To me, it's not about looks or what offends me PERSONALLY. (geez....selfish much?) It is about which policies are better for the country, and there is no question in my mind that Trump is right - while Hillary will turn us into another failed socialist country. We simply cannot afford to throw open our borders and support all the poor, uneducated people of the world. The Lazarus poem says "give me your poor, your hungry" - true - but it does not go on to say "and America will bankrupt the middle class in order to provide them housing, food, medical care, and spending money." All we owe is an opportunity for those who come here legally.[/quote]

I agree with you, we need some fidelity with which we do business in this country.  We need to take care of our own able-minded and able-bodied workers first.  All companies should feel a responsibility to look not just for "labor" but for "America Labor."

Here's where it gets tricky (and where the whole "open borders" concept gets distorted): business jobs, not necessarily manufacturing and labor jobs.  With the growth and preponderance of telecommunications, the internet, etc, and with so many companies (wall st back office, call centers, tech support, etc.) finding pools of highly-educated, cheap labor abroad, that is not an immigration problem.  The immigration issue is a factor with the jobs located in this country--jobs like manual laborers, factory workers, etc.  Those jobs do make a sizable dent in our economy, but it raises two issues: 1. what's a bigger "dent," those jobs or the white collar jobs going abroad, and 2. perhaps it's time our economy evolve from one of manual, blue collar laborers (who can easily be replaced by cheap immigrant labor) to one that actually draws the business needs of the world to doing business in America.[/quote]
