    Not sure why you would think Trump supporters would be scared of their own shadow unless you just couldn't think of anything smarter to say, or dumber as the case may be. He is working hard, keeping his promises and the country is making a dramatic comeback from the dark and unproductive Obama years.
    don't give them the facts Roy..Liberals have short circuited..and Im enjoying it, they have done everything to de-railed Trump and are just getting steam rolled. wait till Trumps moves prove fruitful ..there heads are gonna explode..LMFA

Other members of her family want to come to America to have the same opportunities to work hard that she does. Her sister arrived in August, but now both of them fear that none of their other family members will be able to even visit them because they are Muslim.

    You may think they are overreacting. You may disagree with their political views, but I fail to see how their fear is "comedy gold." Please explain this to me.
    I don't consider you to be dumb, if anything, you're just worried about a friend which is nothing to be ashamed of or blamed for. But, that doesn't mean you can't be wrong. You must understand you have no reason to worry. And when you understand that you must repeat it to her until he understands it.

    Sure, it is sad that people are actually out there worried about something that is never going to happen much like the rapture. In both cases what do you want me to do about their concerns? People who sit around worrying about the rapture are no different than people sitting around filling their head with BS news; it's hilarious.




    Also, since your friend is a legal immigrant how doe she feel about people cutting the line and being a drain on society? The opposite of what she has done.

    Now for another question. Why should we not curb back on immigration for awhile? Do we not have the right to ensure our country's borders are secure? And that perhaps we have some needs for our current citizens that need to be met over the needs of people wanting to come to country?
    This person knows what's up and has a clue!!

    The point of my first post was that since Donald Trump was elected people have started treating those who disagree with them with hatred and/or fear. I hope that if we have disagreements, they can be respectful. To answer your questions:

    1) I do not know enough about geopolitics and the effects of immigration to know whether or not America's current levels are too high, too low, or about right. A 40% cut in a year does seem drastic, particularly since immigration levels have been essentially flat since 2001, but I trust the opinions of people who study this sort of thing professionally more than I trust my gut.

    2) Of course we have the right to secure borders. I never argued otherwise. What exactly constitutes a secure border will be different for different people.

    3) You are phrasing your question as an either/or, and I don't think that's the case in reality. Immigrants often benefit the needs of existing citizens, particularly when it comes to starting businesses. Elon Musk is a good example of this. If he wasn't let in, the 14,000 American Tesla employees would be out of work and the company would instead be running in his native South Africa.
    We need to stop catering to immigrants and other Countries and need to start taking care of unemployed American citizens, American families in poverty, and our own homeless.. The tax money spent on Immigration and foreign add is alarming.. AMERICA FIRST!!!!

    Democrats care more about other Countries and foreign peoples troubles then are own American citizens.. That's another reason why HIllary lost the election.. American voters are tired of helping foreigners before helping our own..

    We do not fly a world flag, we fly an American flag last I checked!!! AMERICA FIRST NOW!!!!

    I appreciate your change in tone, Brooks. I do think we are talking past each other a bit, though.

    I do think that the immigrants I know are overreacting, although I also think their fears are more justified than you do. The point I'm trying to make is that people I know from different walks of life are demonizing those who disagree with them in a way they didn't do before the election. I say the same thing when my immigrant friends talk about Trump Voters as I say when my working-class white friends talk about immigrants. "Once you get to know 'em they're not so bad."

    And believe me, I don't have to ask any of my friends what they think of illegal immigrants or immigration in general. Whether native or foreign born, they volunteer that information pretty readily. My preferred tactic is to let them vent, and then change the topic to something that I think will make them happy.

    ^^ I've traveled the world and I agree people are people for the most part and usually pretty nice and loving..

    Americans have been the same but now America needs to take care of America for once.. Americans need jobs right now and we can't be giving them away to immigrants and especially illegal immigrants if we want to better America..

    Our schooling is over crowded and busting at the seems, from public to Universities.... I'd rather see an American citizen get accepted into a prestigious college over an immigrant with a paid for grant on the American tax dollar...

    America FIRST for once is what Trump is trying to do, most Americans are ok with that and that's why he won the election.. Immigrants should think more about making their own Countries better and not raping ours for freebies also...
