  1. I knew he was a narcissist and an asshole, but I thought he was an American first.
  2. I never thought he would go this far. I admit, it didn't bother me when he was pissing off some Brits and Germans but now he's turning on his own people. Ridiculous.
  3. I think a big problem with kids today is that the parents impress upon them the importance of getting a degree but not what to major in. The whole "do what you love" is bad advice if their kid loves something that isn't in demand. I didn't study electrical engineering because it was fun, I studied it because I knew there would be plenty of opportunities for me when I graduated. It was 5 years of bullshit, but it was worth it. College isn't for everyone. Learn a trade or join the military. Use the Pell Grant if you are poor. There are plenty of opportunities for people to make a better life for themselves.
  4. You don't have to go into massive debt to learn a trade which someone could make a good living on.
  5. Alienating our trading partners implied that. Trump is just unlikable but that doesn't mean that we will not prosper.
  6. Everyone is just going to stop trading with the US because they don't like Trump?
  7. Because I don't care if the UK or anyone else thinks he is nice or awesome. If he was a jerk and America was prospering, very few people would care.
  8. I just don't think anyone has to be likeable to make America great. I don't think Trump is making America great, but the idea that he has to be liked or else we won't be great is funny.
  9. So we are going to tax the rich. Then when that isn't enough (because it won't be) they'll just move down to the middle class. No thanks.
  10. My first question: where is the money going to come from?
  11. I don't agree with a lot of stuff Trump does or says and I didnt even vote for him, but I couldn't care less if he is liked especially by people outside of the US.
  12. I'm as much sure they're not as you are that they are. If there was no way at all for them to get into the US, I am confident that they would find somewhere else to find asylum. Acting like they'll all die if they don't get into the US is absurd.
  13. Do the gangs follow them around wherever they go? Pretty sure there are plenty of places they can go in the Americas.
  14. In other words he wants to do exactly what Canada is doing?
  15. Isn't it because of Reno v. Flores that says that they cannot have children detained for more than 20 days? What I don't understand is the difference between detaining them with their family and without their family hundreds of miles away. Why is one not legal and the other is?
  16. Missed that. Thank you for posting it.
  17. Why aren't these people seeking asylum in other countries? I understand why they want to come to the US. I asked this earlier but didn't get a response: Are the United States and Canada the only "safe" countries in all the Americas? Do the gangs follow these hoards of people across multiple countries until they get to the United States and then scurry back to Central America after the people they are after are across the border?
  18. Those are so hard to cut off.
  19. They are here illegally too. They should be deported too.
  20. Do they get paid on how hard they work? They can work hard and still be a burden. They do have better food though.
  21. So I'm an illegal immigrant and I try to get food stamps. I will not qualify. Then I start having children here who are US citizens, and if I cannot afford to feed them and provide medical care, the burden falls on the state to provide medical care and food. I think they walked all the way across Mexico to get the benefits that we will provide for them. Are the US and Canada the only "safe" places in all of the Americas? Because we do not have unlimited money and we are not the world's welfare system. Some of you think that we SHOULD be but we aren't.
  22. Even the author of the clause, Jacob M. Howard said it was not intended to apply to non citizens. During the debate over the first clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, he argued for including the phrase "and subject to the jurisdiction thereof:" [The 14th amendment] will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the government of the United States, but will include every other class of person.
  23. Does the welfare program have unlimited money? No? Well let's add even more people to the welfare rolls. Why is citizenship of any country sacrosanct? Our ancestors fought wars so that we could be our own country. Should we not be able to say who is worthy of citizenship or not if they were not born to people who are citizens? Of course, but that shouldn't mean that they are automatically US citizens in my opinion. Make sure they are well taken care of, but then send them back with their parents if they are not granted asylum.
