One of the burning issues in the 2016 election is immigration…..Trump is touched on it, although few have any idea what he would do……Rubio has been nailed for his waffling……Cruz has spoken on the issue and has spoken on the issue and NO one has any idea what he said…..
To some Americans it is the primary issue of the day….well for now….these people change their priorities like you change underwear…..
Since it is an important issue….what are the policies and is there more to it than the lip service given in the primary season?
Well there is at least one point of view……
The practical effect of Republicans’ proposed immigration policies? Reducing the number of people of color in America.

I am not saying that I endorse this belief……I offer it up as an alternative to the lip service we get every day on the tube….
RE: “. . .The practical effect of Republicans’ proposed immigration policies? Reducing the number of people of color in America. . . .” Let’s re-phrase that a little bit: Let’s exchange “Reducing the number of people of color in America” to “Reducing the number of rapes, murders, muggings, thefts, robberies, welfare queens, gang members and other criminals in America.” Then it would be more on-point.
Yes we know that ALL people of color commit such crimes…white people seldom do anything wrong…
White people do a lot of things that are wrong and sometimes even criminal — even though more than 90 percent of all those incarcerated in this country are anything but white … color is not the point I am making. The point I am making is that we do not need to add to the mess we already have by importing the kinds of folks who are making such negative headlines in Germany and Sweden and elsewhere. How much more infiltration and infestation can we stand before nowhere is safe or sanitary to lay down one’s head anymore? We need to shut the gates and get the legal system working again and do it correctly — visa first, then an ordered process/path to citizenship — not this disordered mess we have now where thousands of these folks are no longer even being detained at the borders because they choose to disappear into the society rather than to report for their sessions with the immigation people. I have sympathy for refugees who might really be in desperate need but I don’t have a damned bit of sympath for the greater majority of them who are on a vision quest for an easier life — a life that can be adequately supplied by the welfare systems of the host countries they are targeting.
The argument that no Arab country will assimilate these refugees because the Arab countries are afraid that if they do take the refugees in they will be inviting a higher incidence of terrorism.
Well to that I say, “Good Job, Arab Countries! You seem to have a lot more common sense about these things than America does!
We could argue about the courts and sentencing but that would be pointless….I think the countries you are talking about is Saudi Arabia….Lebanon, Jordan and Turkey they are Arab countries….the Saudis will not do it because the monarchy must keep control and that is their only concern….
