As to Muslims, Trump, believe it or not, is no worse than Bush or Obama, who directly cause the chaos, misery and indirectly murdered millions of lives in Muslim countries. I guess those are not Americans lives so who cares. Trump simply said "temporarily closes to the door the Muslims to figure out what is going on" - not politically correct but not exactly resulting in any death.


I am not exactly a fan of Trump, but I despise hypocritical and greedy Hilary Clinton way much more. She is always blah blah blah yet not saying anything meaningful.
For the very same reason that unreasonable people do not make that distinction. The spillover of hatred towards illegal Mexicans affects the legal ones. Ask Americans or others with legal standing living in Arizona about
" papers please ".

With a president practically condoning this hatred, acts against certain groups will only get worse.

well, then blame the stupid people for not making the difference, not the politicians for executing the law.

Sorry no go. Politicians making laws should be smart enough to make smart laws. Laws that allow the police in Arizona to ask " foreign looking " people for their papers is a bad law.

Screaming out about Mexico purposely sending rapists and murders sends what kind of message? All one has to do is pick up a history book to know where that leads us.

that has nothing to do with Trump. Plus, it is in deed Mexico's fault to have millions of illegal immigrants to the US. Illegal immigration is just like stealing. It is a crime and no excuse. No sympathy here. Trump is not wrong in accusing.

Yeah It is Mexico's fault but it is also Americans fault. Illegals wouldn't come if Americans didn't hire them. Lets not pretend there are not people in the USA that don't benefit from illegals.

The actual illegal aliens of course are not because of Trump. The increased vitriol he spouts about the issue is solely his. His accusations about rapists and murders is ridiculous and unfounded.

It's one thing for a politician to address an issue calmly and with possible solutions, but that isn't Trump.
He gets the idiots fired up and THAT has consequences.

After hearing trump say that he is OK with the military using torture tactics, a wall don't seem like a bad idea anymore.
