Donald Trump’s anti-immigrant revival tour might cause headaches for down-ballot Republicans who are already trying to put space between themselves and the divisive party front-runner.

(SNIP)

Three Senate Republicans from Latino-heavy states, Cory Gardner of Colorado, Dean Heller of Nevada and Jeff Flake of Arizona, are all well-practiced in the dance of softening tough-talk on immigration enforcement to avoid alienating voters.

Nobody is anti immigrant.
A great many are anti illegal immigrant.

And it will have the reverse effect in others. I am going to vote against Senator Johnny Isakson here in Georgia because of his clear likelihood to vote for amnesty should it come up again. No doubt in my mind about that.

No, DeaconRed, you have it all wrong. You should say:

IT IS ANTI-”ILLEGAL” IMMIGRANT

There. Fixed it for you.

Wrong, I am. The immigration in the country is out of control. It needs to stop completely for decades so we can try to assimilate the menagerie we have now.

No country like the USA that is purposely and systemically de industrializing needs to import any people ever again for any reason.

Originally the word “immigrant” meant one here legally, usually with a “green card.” Once classified an immigrant they had a right to every American benefit except voting. An immigrant had to prove he would not become a burden to the US. One with a visa had have a return ticket back to his/her place of citizenship. Que’ pasa??

Let the fearful senators shut themselves in their rooms. Leaders lead and the fearful run.

As the Massachusetts Demwit, Tip O'Neill used to say, "all politics is local."

That's true until it isn't.

Mexico isn't local.

To broad a brush, FRiend.

Even Ellis Island got a 40yr ‘break’.

Think you’ll find a *few* of us whom are ‘anti-immigrant’. Distinction is the ‘immigrants’ of today DON’T attempt to assimilate, DON’T attempt to learn English, AREN’T self-reliant, etc.

Bring back the standards of the early 20th Century and maybe there’d be a lot less fuss.

Anti-immigration bandwagon?

How about we start with forcing journalists to be accurate in their coverage of issues?

It’s an anti-invasion issue. It’s illegals invading in masses.
