Current Affairs Donald Trump POS: Judgement cometh and that right soon

[Bruce Wayne]

So is the answer open borders than ?

I've been quite clear on my belief on that before, and I think the answer is clearly yes. No one regards migration between New York and California (or Brisbane and Perth if you prefer) as a bad thing, yet until recently migration between Greece and France (or Mexico and Texas) was, purely because of this silly notion of the nation state.

I don't mind the idea, I just am not keen on persons with criminal records etc possibly being able to freely migrate.

Furthermore it may result in more one way migration than can be accommodated in some countries or states.

The first issue hasn't really been a problem in the EU, whilst the latter seems to underestimate the thought process involved in moving somewhere. It seems like it would be relatively rare to uproot oneself from your friends, family, familiarity to go somewhere in the random hope that you find a job and somewhere to live. It seems much more likely that you do so precisely because you already have those things sorted out. What's more, you will probably move somewhere you have contacts locally to help you settle in. That seems pretty logical to me.

You, like Trump and the Xenophobes, are equating refugees and immigrants. A false equivalency.

Did anyone see the press conference from that Jacob Wohl muppet yesterday?

It was a hell of sight to behold...

It was comedy gold.

My favourite moments were the other guy calling Wohl "a child prodigy who has far surpassed Mozart"... and said guy's fly being down for the entire conference

So I'm a xenophobe now.

What a ridiculous assertion.

Such statements are the kind you are so critical of the opposite side doing.

What have you based it on ?

"They want to throw rocks at our military, our military fights back," the president told reporters. "I told them to consider it a rifle. When they throw rocks like what they did to the Mexican military and police I say consider it a rifle."

Seems reasonable

This feels like a terrible event could happen at the border....

Reading comprehension isn't your strongest subject. Please reread my post and tell me where I called you a xenophobe.

Once you do, and realize your error, could yoiu take a moment to digest and respond to the actual content of my post?

that's by design, it'll all calm down after the midterms

Like the Irish, Italians, Scottish, Dutch and indeed English did in the States

In the UK, 50% of immigrants come to the UK for work, 27% for study, and 17% for family reasons. The remaining 6% were probably benefit bludgers or murderers looking to take advantage of our coppers investigating gender issues.
