Open borders mean not only Mexico but refugees. We've already taken in tens of thousands and hardly anyone knows. The only problem I have with this is that they are not refugees at all, but migrants... no one is even pretending they will go back to Syria when conditions improve. No one will complain because muh diversity. Europe has it even worse. They have refugees working at one euro an hour. They have a massive rape problem. Such a large and sudden influx of cheap labor is obviously not good for their economy. Their jobs and people are being hurt.
Many of Trump's mistakes are intentional. The media and the anti-trumpers are confused when Trump gains attention, when his statements and tweets are carefully calculated to attract it. He has a tremendous understanding of the media's reactions.
I think Trump's policies embody America.
Y'know, I did (parts of) a research paper on free speech in relation to hate speech. It's hard to determine the boundary between what should be allowed and what shouldn't.
Is tens of thousands really that much when compared to the ~312 million people in the US? I don't think so.
Though, refugees is a touchy subject. I personally would accept at least some refugees, as it just feels wrong to not help someone in need. I do realize that terrorism is a problem in that.
On the matter of Europe... I wouldn't exactly know how to put it. The rape problem is not necessarily caused by an influx of migrants, necessarily being the key word. As for cheap labor, it isn't good, generally. Though, if I'm not mistaken, it actually manages to level out eventually, but I dunno.
I like how Trumpers and Anti-Trumpers are now words. And yes, most of what he says is crafted specifically to attract attention.
As for what I meant, I mean that it kind of goes against the whole "nation built on immigrants" and "freedom of religion" thing.
And just saying, there's not much point in debating these things at all. We both have different viewpoints, and it's evident that we're not going to budge from said viewpoints.
