You know the shit is really bad when even Faux News is not spinning this in a positive light.
If what the say is true about “Lead by Example”, we’re really screwed if Donald is President.
I’m sorry to say this, but the GOP deserve to lose the white house in 2016. Any but that would be terribly disappointing.[/quote]
I’m not sure why we equate illegal immigration with legal immigration. Whom among the working class segment of a America benefits from illegal immigration. Do we really want to open our borders to un-vetted Middle East refugees, more H1-B visas and low skilled Latino workers. What purpose does it serve other than some sort of feel good moral superiority complex. It creates more competition for jobs and lower wages. It doesn’t seem to make much economic sense for the common middle class American.
It’s bad if we assume and treat every Latino person as an illegal, but I don’t see Trump advocating that position.[/quote]
I am sure Hitler didn’t advocate gassing Jews either.
A president might not directly advocate that position but as a leader, you know targeting Latinos with an outlandish statement that generalizes all in specific ethnicity has huge repercussions.
Would you advocate saying since a lot of murders in Chicago are done by black gang members, that it is OK for a political leader like trump to say, African Americans are not keeping their best in America, blacks are all gang members and drug dealers. So what is the difference?
People keep rationalizing all this ethnic backlash is not Trump’s fault because he isn’t a direct advocate of it. That’s not true. He intentionally stirs the pot to incite racial and cultural tensions. Its no different than someone trying to invite a riot. And we have laws against that too.
I might not be the direct target of Trump’s backlash and his followers, as I am not Latino nor Muslim. But how does the saying go? When the came for the Jews, you did nothing. When the came for the Japs, you did nothing. When the came for the blacks, you did nothing. Now they are coming for you. Do you expect anyone to do anything for you?
