First Donald Trump said that he wanted to block nearly all foreign Muslims from entering the United States. More recently, he decided to stop using the word "Muslim" as he called for halting immigration from countries with high rates of terrorism, although he has yet to say which countries that would include. At a rally in Portland, Maine, on Thursday afternoon, Trump provided a lengthy explanation of why he thinks the United States needs to be skeptical of immigrants from many countries, even if they follow the legal process. http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/donald-trump-now-says-even-legal-immigrants-are-a-security-threat/ar-BBvjdqc?li=BBnb7Kz |

Immigrants weren't loyal to the land of their birth, how can they possibly be loyal to America? They are rootless. They are evil. |

It is hard to imagine how Native Americans could be anything but skeptical about immigrants coming in the past 10,000 years or so. After all, when they were running America there were no taxes, no federal government and the women did all the work. Why the white man thought he could improve on that setup is a mystery. |

Nativism is the strongest unifying thread in the GOP today. The difficulty is that nativism is not nearly strong enough to bring victory in national elections. What is more, nativism as a policy has its pitfalls as Mr. Trump's run-in with the Khan family illustrates. Anger over immigrants is a unifying theme, but as soon as the party addresses the issue of a "comprehensive immigration policy," the unity shatters like a hand grenade. The fringe right is irrevocably committed to a policy of deportation of all illegal immigrants, some 11,000,000 people. This is clearly impossible and everyone knows it; nonetheless, challenging this extreme fantasy arouses the ire of the extremists and so the GOP is unable to use its most popular issue to unify the party. Similar paradoxes exist in matters of trade and taxation. Year and years of operating the GOP as the party that is against Obama have left a party that cannot say with any conviction what it is for. This has created a bizarre situation in which the most unpopular candidate in America (Trump) is waging war against the second most unpopular candidate in America (Mrs. Clinton). |

There was a time when you could not get a top secret security clearance if you had a foreign born wife....Especially if she looked like Mata Hari and grew up in a communist country...............
