    Re: Immigration

    Trump knows what nationalism means, and if he didn’t the first time he promoted, people clued him in. Did he condemn those that hold troubling views. No - he doubled down again and again.

    In the context of what Hill said - his remarks during a Wednesday meeting of the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People in observance of the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People. He accused the Israeli government of “normalizing settler colonialism" and called for a "free Palestine from the river to the sea," a remark that got applause from participating diplomats.

    He didn’t explicitly say “wipe Israel from the map” but he knew his audience - just like Trump knows his. It is all about signaling support for causes while avoiding accountability for what you say. It is dangerous if you don’t hold people accountable in these cases.

    I invite you to reread my post. Our Southern border is just not the boogeyman Trump and FoxNews make it out to be.

    I will invite you to reread all of mine. I never said it was. Are you denying that it's a problem? That is what you are implying.

    Border security of our Southern border? I think it is a very small problem.

    Re: Immigration

    Are the majority of legal immigrants of Arab decent?

    They have certainly laid claim to the convenience store business and fried food cooking.

    The current trend is India > China > Mexico > Cuba > Phillipines.

    So, no.

    Well, again we disagree. I believe it is a huge problem because I believe it is the biggest impediment to addressing our immigration policies and finding some solution to the millions of people here illegally.

    Sorry, I didn't know Indians (DOT) were not Arabs. They cook a mean corn dog, sell cheap gas, and have great deals on wine and Miller High Life.

    Why do you believe that when the majority of people that are here illegally didn’t come through that border?

    The liberal, one world no borders, democrats just won't deal with either those currently here or those invading our borders. Dems want them all for voting and power purposes. They, the socialist Dems, will not negotiate.

    Below is the current trend Guisslapp and hence the problem for Europe and the US. And yes they are mainly muslim/Islamic as are even a large number lately from India and Philippines per your above.

    Even that idiot hypocrite Hillary Clinton recently stated (last week) that Europe has to quit taking all of these below into their countries as it's hurting the liberals/socialist and commies chance of taking power at the polls; It's giving conservatives worldwide a new platform and taking point that is very convincing and affective come voting time in the USA and certain European countries.

    Which countries produce the most refugees?

    Here is a list of the top five countries of origin that account for the most refugees in the world today.
    • Syria — 6.3 million refugees. ...
    • Afghanistan — 2.6 million refugees. ...
    • South Sudan — 2.4 million refugees. ...
    • Myanmar – 1.2 million refugees. ...
    • Somalia — 986,400 refugees.
    More items...

    Re: Immigration

    Just to be clear - He asked about immigrants in general and not asylees. That is why your list is different than mine. Mine includes asylees and all types of visas.

    Because we can't and shouldn't offer amnesty, a path to citizenship, permanent residence status etc. if we can't reasonably control the influx of illegal immigrants. At best the number of illegal immigrants that cross the border each year account for 34% of the total new illegal immigrants to the US. That's not nothing and because of the nature of border crossings and their status, getting an accurate representation of the illegal immigrant population is almost impossible. If you offer any resolution to our illegal immigration problems, you are encouraging people to cross the border illegally and that makes no sense.

    Re: Immigration

    Even if it is not our biggest immigration issue, the southern border should still be walled up. It represents a sign of weakness to the rest of the world, IMO. We have to show that we are willing to fully protect our border as well as all legal ports of entry.
