#1 He said the world must re-establish international protection for refugees coming from war zones such as Syria

How long have you had Palestinian refugee camps from the '48 war? You don't have solutions and only offer unending occupations. Those Germans driven from their homes in Prussia and Silesia a couple years earlier were absorbed into the larger population without a lot of UN help. I know, "where's the graft in that".

#3 Antonio, remind us again of the advantages of globalization. Also remind us of what the hell the UN does that is useful and why they suck up so much of U.S. taxpayer's money.

#4 "protection for refugees coming from war zones such as Syria"

Yet most of them ARE NOT. Syria sells passports, it's an establishment scam to ignore the migration fraud.

It's been a known secret that a lot of the gimmigrant "children" are very much older than claimed.

#7 Conflating 2 entirely separate issues. Trade globalisation and mass immigration. There is no necessary relationship between them. China is the biggest participant in trade globalisation, and has no immigration (except some ethnic Chinese).

#8 Quick background.

He would have been a good fit for the prophesied next president, but will have an interesting time with the actual winner. Thank you, Pappy.
