How ever absurd and dishonest Donald Trump's substance-less faux-pivot of the last several weeks was, it operated with a certain subconscious effectiveness on regular Trump-watchers. Maybe new campaign manager Kellyanne Conway really was making a difference. Maybe Trump really was changing his rhetoric, if not his heart. But after Wednesday night’s loud, angry, and hateful speech on immigration, it should be impossible to view him as anything but a demagogue. http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2016/08/31/trump_s_immigration_speech_loud_angry_scary.html |

Immigration is an existential threat to western civilization and the toll off immigration has taken countless lives. This was a beautiful message. |

There you go again...trashing the foundation that built this country. Immigration is the heart and soul of this country. And you know that. |

TRUMP IMMIGRATION SPEECH: TRANSCRIPT AND VIDEO August 31, 2016 Daniel Greenfield 3 “Thank you, Phoenix. I am so glad to be back in Arizona. The state that has a very, very special place in my heart. I love people of Arizona and together we are going to win the White House in November. Now, you know this is where it all began for me. Remember that massive crowd also. So, I said let’s go and have some fun tonight. We’re going to Arizona, OK? This will be a little bit different. This won’t be a rally speech, per se. Instead, I’m going to deliver a detailed policy address on one of the greatest challenges facing our country today, illegal immigration. I’ve just landed having returned from a very important and special meeting with the President of Mexico, a man I like and respect very much. And a man who truly loves his country, Mexico. And, by the way, just like I am a man who loves my country, the United States. We agree on the importance of ending the illegal flow of drugs, cash, guns, and people across our border, and to put the cartels out of business. We also discussed the great contributions of Mexican-American citizens to our two countries, my love for the people of Mexico, and the leadership and friendship between Mexico and the United States. It was a thoughtful and substantive conversation and it will go on for awhile. And, in the end we’re all going to win. Both countries, we’re all going to win. This is the first of what I expect will be many, many conversations. And, in a Trump administration we’re going to go about creating a new relationship between our two countries, but it’s going to be a fair relationship. We want fairness. But to fix our immigration system, we must change our leadership in Washington and we must change it quickly. Sadly, sadly there is no other way. The truth is our immigration system is worse than anybody ever realized. But the facts aren’t known because the media won’t report on them. The politicians won’t talk about them and the special interests spend a lot of money trying to cover them up because they are making an absolute fortune. That’s the way it is. Today, on a very complicated and very difficult subject, you will get the truth. The fundamental problem with the immigration system in our country is that it serves the needs of wealthy donors, political activists and powerful, powerful politicians. It’s all you can do. Thank you. Thank you. Let me tell you who it does not serve. It does not serve you the American people. Doesn’t serve you. When politicians talk about immigration reform, they usually mean the following, amnesty, open borders, lower wages. Immigration reform should mean something else entirely. It should mean improvements to our laws and policies to make life better for American citizens. |

Trump's immigration speech was beautiful and reveled in the essential truth that it should basicly be impossible to immigrate here. |

How exactly is immigration a threat? People have migrated from place to place for thousands of years. |
| Ever notice the only 2 people Trump refuses to speak ill of are Stormy Daniels and Vladimir Putin? | |

Duh. Import millions of medieval Muslims and you get the fruits of Islam: institutional intolerance, Hijabs, female genital mutilation, "child brides," Mosques, and a continuation of their 14-century long war on Jews, Christians, pagans, atheists, Buddhists, Hindus, art, science, literature, poetry, music and fine wine. Ignorance -- when it comes to the misogynist, hateful Muslims -- is most decidedly not bliss. But you already knew that....

The Fox News poll also found that 77% of registered voters were in favor of setting up a system to legalize the immigrants in the US illegally. That number represented a 13% jump from last July, when only 64% of voters said that they supported such a system. |

This why history classes have been dumbed down. The elite don't like the uncomfortable assocition of immigration to the fall of the Roman Empire |

Isoroku Yamamoto understood it in the 1940s. I paraphrase: All you have done is to awaken sleeping giants and fill them with a terrible resolve. The politicians have either ignored their responsibilities, or worse, intentionally violated their responsibilities to the American people and the Constitution for too long. But the truth has hit, and America has woken up.

In this particular case it was his belligerence. He isn't proposing anything that isn't currently being done by Obama when he is saying to catch and deport the criminals first. The Congress sets the funding that allows a maximum of deportations and Obama has pretty much maxed out in that. But Trump wants to fill your head with rage and hate and a lynch mob mentality. Too many people are ready to join his mob and that is what I do not want to see happening. He is also lying about his visit to Mexico and his discussion with Nieto about who will pay for his folly of a wall, but this for some other thread. https://www.buzzfeed.com/jimdalrympleii/trump-discusses-border-wall-with-mexican-president-but-not-w?utm_term=.pyoA1jRgy#.ucG49voYz |
