Do you believe Republicans when they say they're against illegal immigration but are find with legal immigration, therefore they aren't a bunch of xenophobes/racists?

Because the Trump administration has been doing an awful lot to interfere with the legal process of accepting legal immigrants/refugees. If Republicans really believed their own arguments about legal vs illegal immigration, they would be screaming bloody murder at the Trump administration for these various tactics for interfering with legal immigration.

They aren't screaming because it was all about the racism/xenophobia all along. They don't like the fact that America is an immigrant nation and they are trying to change that.

Yup. His Flatulence is opposed to all immigration (yet somehow doesn't have a problem with Melania?!), not merely illegal immigration. They're doing everything they can to throw out anyone who wasn't born a citizen.

When she immigrated here at the start of the Great Depression. She was a teenager, 18 years old. Her first language was Gaelic, her English nearly incomprehensible to Americans. She had no education, no trade, no special skills, no unique abilities, no money. She was a dirt-poor economic immigrant, one of tens of thousands from Scotland during the depression. She ended up a domestic servant in New York, scrubbing the toilets of the more well-to-do.


Now, what "merit" did she have?


It's not as if America needed another dirt poor non-skilled toilet-scrubber during the Depression. We had plenty of natural born Americans of our own who needed jobs and would have done anything to get them, including scrubbing toilets. What merit did Mary Ann MacLeod have? Why should she have been allowed to come here and take a job, money, a desperately needed livelihood, from an American?


What greatness did she have?


Other than being young, and pretty, and white, and eventually married to a rich guy, I mean?

And eventually giving birth to Donald J. Trump.
