    The person who spoke DIRECTLY before him SPECIFICALLY brought up MS-13. Yes Trump didn't clarify, but are you actually saying that he DEFINITELY WAS referring to ALL illegal aliens?

    Why would you ask me for the answers on every bit of news you fail to read???

    I am not the answer man. And, there are good sound reasons for you to want a broader understanding that simply my opinion.

    I'm not dodging - I'm giving you the service and credit of not just feeding you my view.

    True. But, Trump's answer was clearly more broad than that.

    Over and over he says stuff like "they're animals" and then tacks on something like "and I presume there are some good ones".

    Sorry. That little tag does NOT absolve him.

    He is selling the wall on emotion - emotion directed AGAINST those from south of our border.

    He's not selling the wall on any claim of effectiveness. He isn't even hitting the methods by which most come.

    The 2013 bill addresses the southern border (with $44B), the way most come (legally, by visa) AND the reason they come (jobs). And, it does this while leaving intact our international commitment to asylum.

    "Trump is attacking [asylum]" are YOUR words! This is YOUR interpretation of something that he has said or
    some sort of policy. I can't find any specific asylum policy that would explain how Trump is "Attacking" asylum.

    No. Why is that relevant?

    Yes, they are American, but they aren't legal US residents which is the only thing that is relevant here!

    Mexico is North America. Like the USA and Canada.

    You seem to be referring to Trump's campaign speech in 2016 when he said, "They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.” This is not the same as his MS-13 comments, it is MUCH more general. When else has he referred to them in such general terms?

    He is demanding that asylum seekers stay out of America, when the international policy is that one may apply after entry by any means.

    He is building a wall.

    He's changing policy for those who want to apply. For example, he started taking their children away without providing ANY WAY for them to EVER be reunited with their parents again. Thus, we have parents who, many months after court direction, still don't have their children. In fact, he deported the parents without their children.

    He's allowed asylum courts to get massively backed up during this period of unrest in Central and South America that has caused more to seek asylum. There are now more than 800,000 asylum seekers in the queue for asylum court hearings.

    He has pushed for legislation for far lower numbers of asylum seekers to be granted asylum, in fact identifying sources of asylum seekers as "**** hole" nations.


    And, you couldn't find that???

    Really?

    Trump's fans are batting a thousand.

    I have asked Trump's fans a question on several threads, but they refuse to answer. They don't want to contemplate the future results of what they are saying today.

    The immediate fear is, if the President gets his way on this issue, he and Presidents that follow will use the same maneuver, shut down the government until they get what they want.

    Keep in mind, the Republican Congress was willing to pass a CR in December. Then Trump changed his mind and we got the long government shutdown. The Democratic bill this week received more votes in the Republican Senate then Trump's bill. Six Republican Senators defected to the Democrats. The President is alone on this one.

    So, let me ask Trump's pals a question. Do you want future Democratic Presidents to have the authority created by Trump's precedence to shut down the government when they don't get what they want from a Republican legislature?

    Does any Trump fan care to answer that question?

    Not one has answered the question. They don't dare.

    Got a source which affirms that he is demanding that asylum seekers stay out of America?

    What does a wall have to do with asylum seekers?

    What happened to "he is demanding that asylum seekers stay out of America?" This means that he wants ZERO, but here you are saying that he only wants to LOWER the numbers! So which is it?

    Well that comment was in regards to ECONOMIC migration, so it is irrelevant to this discussion. However, "**** hole" nations was a rather crude way of referring to them as ECONOMICALLY sh*t! And he is 100% correct! He compared them to a country which is economically prosperous, which is Norway. What country has a better source of economic migration? Norway, Haiti, El Salvador or Honduras? Be honest now.

    I want you to read again what I wrote. Think hard and let it sink in. If you are having difficulties ask a friend to help you out.

    Once again:
    From this simple notion, you ought to be able to reach a "eureka!" moment.

    I would, but since you haven't responded to my previous two messages to you, I have reason to believe that you have PATHETICALLY put me on ignore. So no point in responding and therefore no point in me even typing this post!

    How many fewer people will enter illegally if a bill identical to the 2013 immigration bill that you love so much was passed today?

    Yes they are , the United states of America , you can't not include Mexicans just because their face does not fit ! Quite clearly you are racist a-holes and the next step after the wall will be the rest of the faces that don't fit .

    There is good and there is bad , it is quite clear if you build a wall and ignore helping the helpless that you are bad .

    Z nation , series 3 , episode 8 , they wanted to build a wall , is this where the idea come from ?

    Ask the native Indians ! You're all illegal aliens and America was stole . You are not Americans to begin with , you are all ancestors of Europeans . How quick we have forgot history , the Mexicans are not illegals , they are already Americans .

    America is isolating itself and this won't turn out good .

    A smart government can turn a negative experience into a positive experience .


    What is law ? A set of governing rules devised by humanity for goodness .

    Law is not some magical thing set in stone . Is not law to protect the innocent from harm and tyranny ?

    Isn't law meant for all good ?

    Do you think it is ok to shoot unharmed innocents at a border ? That's murder and an universal crime . None lethal force only !

    Would you put innocents in a rough prison ?

    By building a wall you are condemning them and it will get a lot worse in Mexico because of the total abandonment . Indirectly giving the cartels etc, permission to do whatever they like .
