"we don't want them in our country" is going to be a sound bite used against him

LOL, Trump's speech is bumping Real Time with Bill Maher's live show. They're airing a re-run until he stops talking.

That's gotta piss Bill off.

Trump isn't just promising to fix all your problems, he's saying that it'll be easy and quick. You literally have to be a moron to buy this.

Haha, Trump thinks that drugs come from Mexico. The only drug that constantly come from Mexico is weed, which is legal in plenty of states now.

All other drugs come through Florida. Trust me I know.

Honest question: why are more people not against illegal immigration?

I just don't get it.

Sure it would be difficult and inhuman to round up current illegal aliens, but to me sealing the boarder is a no brainer.

It sounded like Trump was mocking their "USA, USA" chant.

It's a net zero and has been for the last 8 years. Nobody is actually coming to America on the whole.

Until you've tried to legally immigrate to the U.S., and you actually start to understand just what a ridiculous boondoggle it is, I suggest you just keep that question to yourself.

I could go on and tell you about my difficult experience (which is ridiculously easy compared to many others), but I don't want to derail the thread.

Then you have to deal with the fact that the current legal path to immigration is nearly impossible and exhaustive. There are lots of people who cannot afford such a path (this was just touched on in another thread, by someone currently going through this exact issue.)

But that would include immigration reform, and that's a non-starter for the current GOP congress.

Short version is that the agriculture sector of the US would collapse without immigrant labour. It's also a red herring to demonize a faceless group of scary sounding people. Simple people like simple problems and solutions.

More to the point, most people are actually for a controlled border and against illegal immigration. They just recognize that "build a wall" is a laughably stupid idea.

why don't they change that? Isn't the waiting list for sponsorship like 5 years for parents and 10 years for siblings? 10 years! by the time they get here they just eat up social security.
