Sorry 'muricans, I hope Trump wins for the comic value. Imagine seeing him speak in the UN or be in the G8 group picture.

.....incredible difficult to immigrate legally. All the Western European countries getting swarmed by Syrian refugees (those in the pictures) do their utmost to refuse most of them, and those that come in certainly aren't on the level of a fully legal immigrant; they are just asylum seekers.

-Troika- is right; it's a myth that Your Specific Western Country is a unique racist, xenophonic country that rejects immigrants unlike others. Whether it's the USA, Western Europe, The Middle East or Asia; you can't just walz in and get a residence and working permit as you please. Even in poorer countries like those in SE Asia, you typically can't get residency, can't own land, can't work, and can't stay for more than a tourist visa's duration if you are a foreigner just walking in, without a serious, year-long effort showing professional skills, good conduct, economic investment, language skills, and/or marriage relations into the country. And good luck with the vastly more xenophonic culture that many other regions have. But no, people keep blathering on about how the Western country they live in is so particularly hateful unlike all the others.

I think seeing Trump having to hangout with Obama, Bush, Clinton, and Bush Sn at various functions calling for former presidents would be pretty strange. I don't know if they all would avoid him, I think Bill the most, because he's going to slander the Clinton to death if he wins the nonimation

But yeah, hard as poo poo to immigrate anywhere you might actually want to live legally. Which is why blanket amnesty is a loving awful idea without first making sure the influx of new illegals has stopped.

DON'T POST IN THE ELECTION THREAD UNLESS YOU :love::love::love: JOE BIDEN

quote:

During a Wednesday night town hall moderated by MSNBC's "Morning Joe," co-host Mika Brzezinski described a "political outsider" candidate, and Donald Trump incorrectly guessed that she was describing himself.

"The candidate is considered a political outsider by all the pundits. He’s tapping into the anger of the voters, delivers a populist message. He believes everyone in the country should have healthcare," she told Trump. "He advocates for hedge fund managers to pay higher taxes. He’s drawing thousands of people at his rallies and bringing in a lot of new voters to the political process, and he’s not beholden to any super PAC. Who am I describing?"

"Or any special interests or any donors," Trump added before responding, "You’re describing Donald Trump."

"Actually, I was describing Bernie Sanders," Brzezinski replied.

"Oh, that’s good," Trump then said in response before offering a similarity he believes he shares with Sanders.

"There’s one thing we’re very similar on: He knows that our country is being ripped off big-league — big-league — on trade. The problem is he can’t do anything about it," the Republican presidential candidate said. "He doesn’t understand what’s happening."

If you are a white person from a first world country, it's hard and expensive to get in legally even with Masters degrees in real subjects. It's hard because we have a flood of illegals with no education clogging up the system. And if you get in on an H1-B visa, employers are taking a huge risk because after spending time/effort training you it's possible you won't win the ridiculous lottery system and get to stay.

Remember that Senator Ted Kennedy who murdered a girl and got away with it? He helped re-write immigration laws to keep Europeans out in favor of other countries because he believed non-whites would vote liberal. A side effect of this was that it drove down the quality of our immigrants.

We could use immigration to become the all star team. Take the smartest people from Europe, Asia, Africa, and yes even Mexico and put their talents to work for the red white and blue. Instead, we get these uneducated hordes whose main purpose seems to be to drive down wages to make big business a lot of money.

Look I love immigrants, my family is from Russia and we have first generation family members here who went through the immigration process. We all have graduate level degrees and played by the rules, but while we got poo poo on all the illegal immigrants were able to circumvent the system. It's madness by design.

They are desperate. They have a criminal candidate in Hillary Clinton who is probably going to be their nominee who is taking 10's of millions of dollars from big banks and special interests, and they are going to need to defend that.

Middle America is seeing their jobs go overseas from horrible trade deals, they are seeing no investment in their infrastructure, they are seeing working men and women called horrible things in the media, and now there is a candidate in Trump who is talking about this. Now he may or may not follow through with his intentions (I think he will but anything can happen) but he is the only candidate not arguing for a continuation of the status quo. Unless you count Bernie Sanders who spent most of his life as an unemployed bum, but I guess that's part of the "feel the bern" appeal.

The former, with a dose of "gently caress German hegemony for overruling the democratic choices of other nations" thrown in.

Although I'm sure people will say that this makes me racist anyway, because the foreigners the EU lets in are mostly white.
