Immigration Reform

Seems like a dick move against people who have been doing things the right way. Conservatives claim to support legal immigration.

I think there are better ways to encourage Americans to hire Americans. And much better ways to educate and train our workforce to be more competitive.

Don't act surprised when an asshole acts like an asshole.
 
 
There is a lot of baby travel in SoCal. OC seems to be the hub.

The weird part of this is if you tell immigration that you are coming to America to give birth it is not illegal. If you lie, it is illegal or if you don't your bill at a hospital it is illegal. Tell the truth and pay your bills and you are OK.

This is one loophole that should be closed. It's quite different than an undocumented person who lives and works here having a baby in our country.
 

Could have sworn I read a similar story early last year.
 
Oh boy...

[h=1]Trump attacks protections for immigrants from ‘shithole’ countries in Oval Office meeting[/h]https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-attacks-protections-for-immigrants-from-shithole-countries-in-oval-office-meeting/2018/01/11/bfc0725c-f711-11e7-91af-31ac729add94_story.html?utm_term=.7ae681d4f546

President Trump grew frustrated with lawmakers Thursday in the Oval Office when they floated restoring protections for immigrants from Haiti, El Salvador and African countries as part of a bipartisan immigration deal, according to two people briefed on the meeting.
“Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?” Trump said, according to these people, referring to African countries and Haiti. He then suggested that the United States should instead bring more people from countries like Norway, whose prime minister he met yesterday.
 
After this comment, no sane, honest or reasonable person can ever say that Donald Trump isn't an out and out racist:

"During a discussion on a potential immigration deal, Trump grew frustrated at the suggestion that he restore protections for immigrants from countries who had temporary protected status, which he had revoked.

“Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?” he said, suggesting the U.S. bring more immigrants from places like Norway, according to the Post.

how is that comment racist?
 
"There is a reason why the President has said that is not acceptable to him and sent everybody back to the same drawing board that Kevin McCarthy drew up on Tuesday," Cotton said after the meeting.

Yes there is a reason. Brown people.
 
In December, Trump said all Haitians had AIDS...now he calls them a shithole country. But that's not racist to some...well, those who sneeze and give themselves enemas or are racist.

And that Nigerians who moved to America "wouldn't go back to living in their huts". But that's not racist either.

If you still support Trump, you cannot wash the acceptance of racism off of you. It's that simple.
 
Now we all agree that saying El Salvador is a shithole country isn't exactly something a smart person would say out loud, but what % of people think it? 60%? 30% don't know it IS a country. So we got 10% left.
