Quote:I'm pretty sure that the founding fathers would agree that we should know who the heck is coming into the country before we allow them to come into the country.  

 

As an aside, its pretty ridiculous to to talk about VALUES when defending illegal immigration.  If you want 2 million people to migrate to the US each year, fine pass a law.  If you want the # to be 10 million fine, pass a law.  the idea that you blindly consent to infinite amounts of unknown people flowing accross the southern border in the name of "INCLUSION" is asinine.  Hundreds of thousands of crimes committed by criminal aliens in Texas alone.  That's not fear mongering, those are statistics.  We can't even get the democrats in congress to agree that if someone is convicted of an aggravated felony, deported, and caught defying deportation should be incarcerated!  

 

you're right.  We shouldn't be preoccupying ourselves with the safety of our citizens, the founding principle of government, we should be working to release convicted foreign rapists and murderers from our jails.  Now that's change you can believe in.  

 

You're answering my criticism of Trump with criticism of Democrats. That's a red herring.

 

After researching crime statistics in Texas, about the only thing I can find backing up your claim is that an alien committing a crime is indeed a criminal alien. Otherwise, I'd have to know your time frame and source.

 

Trump panders to fears with simplistic solutions to complicated problems, and he tells us we'll have to trust him on the details. Along the way he insults and mocks, while justifying demagoguery and xenophobia as just being non-politically correct. If that suits you and that's what you want from your President, fine. I think he is a self-serving narcissistic egomaniac who I want as far away from the Oval Office as possible.
