4. “He welcomes legal immigration. ......
“My son, who for the past twenty years has managed a facility in Crossville, TN for the grading, washing, and packaging of locally grown green vegetables, must, albeit reluctantly, now hire immigrant Guatemalans to do the grunt work. Local residents, comfortable with their Obama entitlements, are just not interested. And this is not rocket science!”
“Immigrants” Ed? Or illegal aliens? Of course they’re illegals.
It’s tough to compete with wetbacks who live in trailers, a dozen or more in each double-wide, with several hanging from hooks in closets, and sell their labor for dimes over the dollars Americans need for subsistence and a minimum amount of dignity.
(subsistence noun sub·sis·tence: the amount of food, money, etc., that is needed to stay alive)
Those who say deportation won’t work, that all we really need to do is go after employers as the “comprehensive immigration reform” required to “fix our broken immigration system” would necessarily call for prosecuting guys like your son.
Guys like Ed’s son require a continuing supply of cheap, pliable, easily cowed labor.
Immigration based on relatives is bringing in seniors, unskilled, under-educated, immigrants. The seniors qualify for social security benefits, even having contributed zero social security taxes. The others are dumped on welfare system.
Only children of US citizens should be allowed as legal immigrants. All others must qualify based on skills or wealth brought in.
New Zealand has the right system in place. Either your skills are needed or you bring $1.5 million with you and pass English test to qualify as legal immigrant.
The Donald is not, nor could he ever be, a conservative. He has been trading on a populist and libertarian streak in the American people, and it is resonating at an astounding level.
The answers The Donald gives to questions speak to the concerns of a surprisingly broad swath of voters, and it cuts across a lot of artificial ideological positions. The unmotivated potential voters, and the low-information voters, are now engaged to a degree they have not been in YEARS, and there is a surprising degree of interest by persons who have been voting Democrats all their lives. Not “Reagan Democrats”, but AMERICAN Democrats, admittedly a diminishing breed, but still around.
In even the core constituencies of the Left, The Donald is making serious inroads, among female voters, among Hispanic voters (the LEGAL voters, that is), and even among black voters, possibly garnering as much as 25% of that demographic.
The Democrat party “leaders” have to be defecating bricks by now. How long are they going to stand by Herself, Madame Benghazi, the Cold & Joyless, now?
1. Mr. Trump is his own man; finances his own campaign; solicits no political contributions and will be obligated to no lobbyist or PAC. How refreshing!
BTTT!!
Trump can’t be owned by PAC and Lobbyist $$ like other candidates.
