Trump on immigration: Let in white Europeans
Source: Seattle PI
Republicans are on a suicide mission if they back a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants in the United States, and should be encouraging immigration by white Europeans, real estate mogul Donald Trump told the Conservative Political Action Conference on Friday morning.
<...>
The undocumented workers already in the U.S. are to be feared as voters, said Trump. He argued:
When it comes to immigration, you know that the 11 million illegals even if given given the right to vote you know, youre gonna have to do whats right but the fact is, 11 million people are going to be voting Democratic. Thats the way it works, and you have to be very, very careful . . . Youre just not going to get those votes.
Now I say to myself, why arent we letting people in from Europe? Nobody wants to say it, but I have many many friends from Europe, and they want to come in. Tremendous people, hard-working people. They cant come in. I know people whose sons went to Harvard, top of their class, went to Wharton School of finance, great great students. They happen to be a citizen of a foreign country. They learn, they take all of their knowledge, and they cant work in this country.

And by "a whole lot of folks back stateside", I'm referring to the Teabaggers. It's viewed by a good many here as a populist neo-fascist movement.

I sort of feel sorry for Mexican immigrants who end up settling down here just because it's near the border...

The more the merrier! Perhaps adding more Europeans, will move us faster to single pay health care system, and get rid of the 2 weeks vacation bs, lets go with the standard European vacations of 6-8 weeks!

(13,616 posts)Many of their right wing elements would come here, because they are SCARED of those Muslims, you know, the ones that grow up listening to Dubstep like every other euro teen. Then Europe can go farther left as she depsotis her right wing trash,

(16,191 posts)Or, as a German friend once brilliantly put it: "You Americans get to choose between the Conservative Party and the Stupid Party, and Democrats aren't stupid!" He pointed out that many of the stances of the American Republican party would earn them an outright ban as a "hate party" in many European nations.
I agree with Trump! Open the gates! Let them in! The more, the merrier!

I seriously doubt anyone from Europe wants to come over here and subject themselves to this country's system of health care, no decent family leave, no holidays, working til you drop, etc. etc.

Part the Second-- I have well-educated friends in-- The Netherlands, the UK, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Finland, Austria, Germany.. None of them N-O-N-E would want to move here. They think the right-wingers are clinically insane and the dems are cowards. They are convinced we are done for.

(48,217 posts)and check up on relatives who emigrated, but they always go back. It would be easy for one older set of Norwegian relatives to go to Florida to escape the long, dark winters. Instead, they go to Thailand.
My college friend who moved to Norway at age 22 states with confidence that she enjoys a higher quality of life there than she would have if she had stayed here. She has a high-paying job with five weeks of vacation, doesn't need to own a car, got excellent health care when she was involved in a traffic accident twenty years ago, and, along with her long-term gentleman friend, owns a 3-bedroom cabin in the mountains with all the modern conveniences.
