Immigrants are no longer welcome in Donald Trump’s America. Instead, the Republican presidential nominee posited that under his potential second administration, he would round up and mass-deport noncitizens based on their “serial numbers.”

Speaking with Full Measure’s Sharyl Attkisson, Trump argued that the United States—which was founded by and has historically been a nation of immigrants—shouldn’t be a “dumping ground” for newcomers.

One more fucking time for the Rubepublicans in the back:

Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.

That is on the door step of our nation. This is who we should be, and the only way to build a stronger America for a stronger mankind.

Term and conditions were appended in 2019

“Give me your tired, your poor who can stand on their own two feet and who will not become a public charge,” Immigration Director Ken Cuccinelli said Tuesday morning during an interview with NPR.

When asked what he thinks America stands for, Cuccinelli said that the poem was referencing immigrants coming from Europe.

“Of course that poem was referring to people coming from Europe where they had class-based societies, people were considered wretched if they weren’t in the right class”

What an ass. It wasn’t the high class Europeans that were coming here to get a fresh start.

The illegals can’t see what is on the welcome mat because they are hopping the fence in the backyard to eat our pets, rape our women, and hide the remote.

Republican response probably.

I heard from one of the gentlemen at my pickleball club that the illegals don’t even tip their landlords. They are definitely sending up the worst of them.

And if they won’t take that American belief than how about the Christian beliefs? Proverbs 19:17, Leviticus 19:33-34

Well, there’s a war in Europe, we had a global pandemic, and fascism is on the rise, so we’re just doing an early 20th century rerun.

Of course, history doesn’t exactly rhyme, which is why Israel is the one doing the holocausting this time.

You are far too optimistic a person. They forced sterilized 25-50% of Native American women in the 60s and 70s who sought medical treatment or care, some were pre-teen. Native American women are still far more likely to be sterilized and at younger ages than non-natives.

Some parts of the world are over it. Some parts have failed history, and are desperate to make the same mistakes again. And here the US is not even the worst offender. One wonders how Israel has forgotten 1933-1945, and tries to find an Endlösung for the Palestinian question…
