In his speech? I agree. Though scarey may be more apt.

Remember the majority of illegal immigrants are actually Asians and not Mexicans.

And they contribute much more to the social safety net then they take out due to lack of registration for government benefits.

and to the economy with dirt cheap labor for jobs Americans don't want even before the terrible wages it would need to justify for them.

Words can't express properly just how bad this is in so many ways.

For Trump, lying is always the answer. His supporters dislike truth.

Trump is superman after all. He could have saved them all, if it wasn't for the evil democrats.

There is something really gross about taking someone and telling them you could have saved their loved ones, so they should support you. That is not a trick the democrats pull out. And it isn't empathy. It is the act of an experienced con-artist praying on grief.

Oh, so it's not okay for people to say that Trump could have saved their loved ones from criminal illegal immigrants. I'm just going to hazard a guess that you think it was okay for Obama to talk about how electing him would "be the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal."

Those people must have volunteered or agreed to speak. He's not supporting the 2nd amendment just so he can hold a gun to people's heads and force them to speak at rallies.

So you see demonizing an entire race group based on their potential immigration status is equivalent to platitudes about environmentalism?

One could cause widespread race based hate crimes and the other might cause people to want to save the environment.

hes presenting them right after saying this next election is the last chance we have before mass chaos and violence enculfs the nation. There is a difference that you are missing here.

I mean I have my (many) issues with the speech, Trump's policies, and his trustworthiness, but this thread is some next level stuff.

And the funniest thing of all? Trump said almost nothing about non-criminal illegal aliens already here (I had to stop listening part way through, but from what I'm reading he didn't say anything explicitly). He still isn't primary Trump. He's politician-in-the-wind Trump. And people are still going wild.

basically if you are a non-criminal illegal(lol that makes no sense but w/e) nothing will happen to you for a while, and you have no path for legal status unless you leave and come back.
