Are these positions wrong? From the article:

“He worries opening the borders will mean an influx of undesirables.”

“In May 1940, he warned of a “fifth column” in America (a military term for civilian rebels), and claimed refugees might be enemy agents.”


Imagine a U.S. president who is bombastic, egotistical, and just a little racist. He worries opening the borders will mean an influx of undesirables. He implements capricious executive orders, and seems more concerned with his own power than with the Constitution. He’s often called a fascist by people who know what the term means.

No, I’m not talking about Donald Trump. I’m talking about Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

The influx of undesirables through open border is a VERY legitimate concern and should be addressed as some candidates indicate they will rectify.

The warning of a "fifth column" seemed to be shown with certain members of Hollywood and 'others' joining with communist and 'others' in aligning with Germany.

In your view are those positions wrong or right?

What about the other bits do you disagree with? Do you

It was a rhetorical question concerning the first two items. The author seems to think they are bad things.

The rest are my counter points to the authors statements. The author is trying to make a case against Trump and I disagree with the items I listed.
