    Just this morning, listening to NPR, like we've heard for over a year now, the term Immigration when referring to Trump's policy ideas, is being misrepresented and twisted. If I hear one more time he's against immigration or is ANTI-immigration, I really want to reach through the radio or screen and choke the useless twit on the other side. Never once has he mentioned he would prevent a college educated doctor from Australia or Germany or Mexico with no priors, from becoming a citizen. And he's married to an immigrant of course. Must hate his wife I guess?

    Its ILLEGAL immigration that is the problem. Why is the term "ILLEGAL" always left out of the conversation, because its a very important distinction? Why can't all these supposedly tolerant, college educated intellectuals understand something so simple? Calling illegal children DREAMERS is just one marketing gimmick to twist perception to a "nice" name. It's much like the term "alien" being hurtful and insulting to illegals. Oh really....do they need their safe spaces and barriers from criticism? It's so divisive and underhanded. Like not calling terrorists, TERRORISTS. Identify people as what they are and we can have actual dialogue.

    Why does the MSM label people who simply want immigration to be handled LEGALLY, as xenophobic? Like many countries in EU, what is wrong with wanting only educated, skilled people with funds to be given citizenship, REGARDLESS of race? Its truly insane to how far backwards it's become.
