| Donald Trump: Forget ‘Illegals,’ Let’s Ship In More ‘Europeans’ |
| 2013-03-15 |
| After insulting former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as a Golden Girl Friday morning, the roster of headliners at the Conservative Political Action Conference continued to woo the groups of voters they alienated during the 2012 election. This time, former GOP presidential frontrunner Donald Trump told the CPAC audience to give up on ever earning the votes of the “11 million illegals,” even if they were given citizenship, and instead, wondered “Why aren’t we letting people in from Europe?” “When it comes to immigration, you know that the 11 million illegals, even if given the right to vote, you know you’re going to have to do what’s right. But the fact is, 11 million people will be voting Democratic,” Trump said, and in case the message about those 11 million undocumented immigrants was lost on the crowd, added “You can be out front, you can be the spearhead, you can do whatever you want to do, but every one of those 11 million people will be voting Democratic, that’s just the way it works.” Trump went on to describe the current push for comprehensive immigration reform, including a path to citizenship, a “suicide mission” for Republicans, a clear message that Republicans should give up on the Latino vote they just lost so crushingly. In case it still wasn’t clear, he added, “You’re just not going to get those votes.” He then contrasted that electoral calculation with this question: ”Why aren’t we letting people in from Europe?” “I have many friends, many, many friends, and nobody wants to talk this. Nobody wants to say it,” Trump said, “but I have many friends from Europe, they want to come in!” |

| #5 OWG NAU 2015 + Trans-Atlantic Union + Trans-Pacific Union, etc. similar = "borderless" Amerika where the National-level Govt [GLOBAL-level?] can only keep track of legit Citizens-Residents vee RFID Chips + Drones + pervasive ground-level Micro/Nano-Surveilance. WHERE THE RIGHT OF FORIDNARY AMERICANS = AMERIKANS TO OWN GUNS IS IMPUGNED BECAUSE IT WOULD ENDANGER THE MILYUHNS OR SCORESOF MILYUHNS OF LEGIT FOREIGN WORKERS THAT WILL BE INVITED TO COME + WORK IN OWG AMERIKA, + DITTO ENDANGER THE LIVES OF THOSE ILLEGALS TRYING TO SNEAK OVER THE BORDER THE GOVT HAS NO SERIOUS OR REAL INTENTION OF SECURING ANYWAY. The US Govt priority will seemingly be the protection of Foreigners, not US Citizens-Residents. YOU MIGHT HAD NOTICED THAT THE US GOVT IS N-O-T TALKING ABOUT IMPLANTING RFID CHIPS ON FOREIGN WORKERS COMING TO AMERIKA TO LIVE + WORK, NOR DENYING THEIR RIGHT AS FOREIGNERS TO OWN GUNS OR MILITARY-STYLE ASSAULT WEAPONS WHILE LIVING + WORKING IN AMERIKA. Everyone is talking about foreign workers coming to Amerika - no one is talking about Amerikan workers being allowed by Washington or Foreign Govts to go overseas to live + work in foreign countries. |

| #4 It makes sense, we were peop;ed by Europeans a long time ago, and our taxes are a LOT lower than most of theirs, Let'em come. |

| #3 "Why aren't we letting people in from Europe?" As in nearly everything else connected with our government, it's not the region [Europe], it's politics and ethnicity. I know a very successful, tax paying entrepreneur, who has dozens of US Citizens in his employ, who went through bloody hell for five years playing by the rules and failing. It finally required his hiring an immigration attorney and taking the entire family back to South Africa for appeal and re-application, before he was issued Green Cards. |

| #2 "Why aren't we letting people in from Europe?" Ah, but special waivers are for Southeast Asians (boat people), the previous Reagan amnesty for Latins, Haitian |

| #1 The thing is, if we lower our tax rates we might have a ton of Europeans immigrating. As is always the case this would be beneficial to the US, but it would mean anyone left to fight against the growing nanny state abroad is also gone. We allow the bravest Cubans to come to the US and the result is decades of Castro in power. We look the other way while Mexicans cross the border and the result is entenched oligarchy. Go further back to the waves of Germans coming over and the rise of totalitarian states. Perhaps its chicken & egg but I think we need an honest debate about what our immigration might do to the nations left behind. |
