My old neighborhood had the most American family I've ever seen. They were always tossing a ball in the driveway, working in the yard, walking the dog, washing the car, volunteering at church, and the kids had the best manners imaginable.
The parents were first generation immigrants from Mexico. My neighbors now are first gen from Brazil and I hope our kids get married one day. I've known plenty of others who were similar, and also known others who seemed to resent everything about America. Basically, they were people like everyone else.

The vast overrepresentaion of migrants in Europe's crime statistics can be looked at rationally by people who aren't racist as a strong argument against widespread immigration.
I'm not saying that we should stop immigration or target certain races. However, we spend enough money on prisons to seperate criminals from the general population that we should make sure we aren't allowing more in.
You can't only do that by screening legal immigrants, you have to also prevent illegal/unauthorized/undocumented/whateverPCterm entry into the country.

Let's call this what it is, Trump attempting to and got caught gifting Ukraine to Putin.
Why ?
Same could be said for entire Middle East.

I guess statistics are only relevant for baseball.
Factual representation of data is not feminization.
What actual changes have occurred as a result of Trump shooting off his mouth?
That's not rhetorical, I'm asking because I honestly don't know of any. We still don't have any additional border barriers, illegal entry is higher than ever, detentions and deportations are still lower than during the previous administration.
The Trump administration has meant some less than ideally targeted tax cuts, reasonable defense budgets, international trade backbone, better than the alternative SC picks, and words full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

I'm not sure how to answer this. I mean from time to time in my life I've said regrettable things. And I think just my saying them has caused harm to people around me. Words are powerful things.
But on a policy plane, chosen one has tried to racialize our immigration policy. More people from Norway fewer from ****hole countries. He has not been as successful as he would like. But not from lack of trying.

I agree has tried, but I don't see where he's been successful. Our system has checks in place for dealing with things like that.
I agree he's a jerk. I've said before, almost anyone can come by my house in the evening and be invited to dinner. If his motorcade pulled up in my driveway I would meet him at the door and ask him to leave.
Would you classify yourself as in the group called 'deplorables?' Or amongst those of us mocked for clinging to guns and religion? Do your religious beliefs prompt others to call you a bigot? What he's doing isn't new, it's just a bit less smooth, and aimed at a new group of people who are less PC to attack.
