Flynn Corrects ABC’s Raddatz: It’s ‘Illegal,’ ‘If They’re Here Illegally,’ Not Undocumented
Breitbart ^ | July 10,2016 | by PAM KEY

Posted on 07/10/2016 12:20:19 PM PDT by Hojczyk

Sunday, on ABC’s “This Week With George Stephanopoulos,” former director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, advisor to presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump, and a potential VP for Trump, retired Lt. Gen. Michael T. Flynn corrected guest host Martha Raddatz for referring to illegal immigrants as undocumented.

RADDATZ: Let’s talk about immigration. Let me ask you, immigration, should all undocumented immigrants be deported?

FLYNN: So, undocumented or illegal?

RADDATZ: Undocumented, illegal.

FLYNN: OK. So, if you’re — if it’s illegal, it’s illegal. So…

RADDATZ: Undocumented?

FLYNN: Are they here illegally? I mean, if they’re here illegally, then it’s illegal. I mean, again, back to my very first point, the rule of law in this country is probably the single biggest strategic advantage that we have, above and beyond all other countries in the world. And we cannot allow the rule of law to break down.

Media has been trying to quietly shift the debate by banning the use of certain words, like “illegal immigrant” (and “Islamic Terrorism” as well).

That's the tactic the left used to create the illusion that homosexual sodomy was like a sparkling, fun filled summer day in the park instead of a filthy depravity.

"Gay" sounds so much more pleasant than Sodomist or Homo or Queer.

Way past time someone started pushing back on the liberal attempts to de-sanitize illegal immigration by trying to prohibit the word “illegal”. These people are here illegally.

Let's not use the term "Illegal Aliens" - it is unfair to extra-terrestrial beings.

I like the term: "Foreign Invaders."

Why not just trust Trump’s judgement? It’s not worth getting all excited about since we have no control over the pick.

I agree.

IT seems the pick of a General would go against the Trump mantra of an inside person who knows the mores of the Hill...but this guy bascially got canned as a Three star because he refused to not call radical islamic terrorists a radical islamic terrorist.
a VP has zippo effect on Roe V wade or abortion...
Right now we are in a war on terror and if he stays focused on that it will suffice. We know Trump is pro life...VP? who gives a flip he has no say...
Flynn might do okay.
BTW...calling ILLEGALS...ILLEGAL is more of the same...stop changing the mantra...they broke the law..they are ILLEGAL.

They’re invaders. It’s the only work that describes what they’re doing to the country. Of course, no pol would go that far.

If you cannot clearly see the evil of baby killing, how can you get the other things right? Or perhaps Planned Parenthood IS INDEED blessed by God as Obama says?

I started to watch, but Martha makes me puke for some reason.

When I was a kid, if I said I was to sick to go to school, my dad would say, "Well I guess you'll just have to stay home and watch Martha Stewart with your mom." I would feel better and go to school. Man I hated that show.

I get your point but my impression is that he fumbled around a lot -- came across to me as trying to be "politically sensitive" which is clearly hard for him to be (and good for him that he's not your typical professional politician").

He also defined himself very narrowly as concerned mostly about national security. That's an essential thing, of course, but his statement compresses his viability as a vice-presidential candidate to a single issue.

Don't get me wrong, I like the guy and I like what he stands for as far as illegal immigration and national security, but I don't think he'd make a good running mate for Trump.

A General with the posts he’s had knows all about dealing with the DC crowd, and getting things done by working with them. He also makes sense from the standpoint of getting diverse groups to work together....that’s what military leaders do.

and the word “immigrant” is being incorrectly used by the media and FR.

In years leading up to this modern era, an immigrant was a legally admitted foreign national who had applied and waited around 18 months as he/she was vetted. Upon entry a “Green Card” would and that person would have all the benefits of citizenship except voting. One of the requirements is that the immigrant would have means of support, usually a sponsor and had no criminal record.

Don’t we need someone who’s focused on national security if things are ever going to turn around? That has to be the priority, or we don’t have a nation.

No question about national security being our number one priority ... and a vice-president who is strong and focused on that is a very good thing. But ... he needs to come across as knowledgeable and opinionated about a wide range of concerns to prevail in a national election. It’s just my impression of how he responded to the range of questions posed — I was just a little disappointed.

...

That’s because the pols are pro invasion. The invaders dilute the law abiding citizens who hold politicians accountable.

Unfortunately for the lifelong Demicrat Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, he drank from the democrat kool-aid so long that while he can recognize the difference between “undocumented” and “illegal,” he is still unable to recognize the difference between “choice” and “murder of the yet to be born babies,” and we can now toss in “selling unborn baby body parts for profit,” as another euphemism “life-saving tissue fetal transplants!”

It’s easy to tie this crap back to the larger issue facing the country- corruption.

These people are in the country illegally. The first decision they made upon coming here was to break the law. It’s just another example were some people can break the law and get special privileges because of their ethnicity or their connections .. or because they might vote democrat. Meanwhile, people who obey the law and try to play by the rules are told to shut up and called racists. It’s not fair and needs to stop. People who break the law should face consequences no matter who they are.

That will be one of Trump’s strong points...

That won’t be the VP’s primary responsibility...

Control of Words/Language is HOW Marxists have flipped 2000 years of Ethics to satanic ethics.

One of the 7 Deadly Sins— Pride— is now a virtue to little children-—esp. when applied to Sodomy and “Right” has become the right to kill your own genetic offspring and allow theft of private property and UN control of curricula (dictating mandatory ideology (Common Core)/worldview to our children) and it is “constitutional” LOL. (No—suicide). We literally pay for indoctrinating our own children into Satanism. (irrational religions/faiths/ideologies like Socialism (a faith).

We are being forced into an Orwellian irrational World (and it is by control of all information/MSM to create “perceptions” (control emotions) in the ignorant masses (who are confined in indoctrination centers for 12 years of life/mandatory dehumanization (removed from the Natural Family and Truth (God) and Natural Laws (Logic/Reason). It is pure Marxism where Freedom is Slavery and Vice is Virtue and all human beings are interchangeable (bots with no identity—no biological mother and father so they can NEVER perceive Natural Laws (God’s Design). All emotions will be severely WARPED and irrational-—removed from Reality.

We are in an Orwellian society-—Got to take the SCHOOLS BACK immediately before 10s of millions of children are destroyed.
