re: US Marine leaves Trump Rally tonight

His message is solid but he's delusional if he thinks Trump will fix a damn thing.

On another note, if the sight of the Mexican flag gets people this upset, I can only imagine that the Confederate battle flag must send you into a rage. Hell, those frickers committed treason against the United States.

It is true that since the Great Recession of 2007-2009, illegal immigration to the United States has slowed down from its peak around 2005. But this does not mean illegal immigration is still not a problem. According to estimates, the illegal alien population has remained statistically unchanged under President Obama, and may actually have begun to increase again. a

I'm sure it was just a mistake that you only quoted part of the paragraph

quote:

---

Under President Obama, DHS has claimed that deportations (officially “removals”) had reached an all-time high. These “record deportations” were achieved not by removing more illegal aliens from the country than under previous administrations, but by changing the way deportations were counted. Under President Obama, DHS began to add the number of illegal aliens apprehended and returned at the border to those removed from the interior of the country –something which had previously been done. Under Obama, the fewest number of illegal aliens have been removed from the country since President Gerald Ford (1974-1977).

Hahahahaha frick Obama

More illegals removed! (Not really just changed how we counted, apparent a typo that meant to say that had not been previously done since it then says less removed under him)

Unemployment rate is down! (Just kidding we just made it where less people are looking for work)

Actually it's not prejudice, it's called intelligence. Can you not see that this country will cease to exist if we continue to operate like we are. There is not an infinite amount of means to support everyone and everything at the rate illegals are coming in. We all support those who do it the right way. Sorry you can't seem to grasp this simple concept.

While there is some truth to this, it's crazy how we're suddenly pinning the loss of the country on illegal immigration instead of the massive amounts of natives who have their hand out and are doing far more damage to the future of the nation.

But hey, it sells.

No. They and he cannot. They don't want this country to exist. They are doing everything they can to make sure that the country doesn't exist.

I think he missed the point about the Mexican flags. I think it's safe to say that the US has better opportunities to have a better life than some parts in Mexico. But, for many of these people, they still have families and deep roots in Mexico. And a lot of these people that immigrate to the States basically are a lifeline for their family back in Mexico.

That being said, you're not going to turn your back on your family, your native country, and your heritage. I know the US is giving a lot of these people a better life, and the means to continue to support their family, but when you essentially attack these people, it's going to cause some unrest.

Let me pose a question: would you try to escape your area (like Northern Mexico where the cartel is heavily present) to try for a better life? To try to help out your family that isn't able to move? It's a very delicate balance for immigration, but for those that have moved here, and have worked extremely hard, and are taking the "shite" jobs that most Americans don't want, then how can you scoff at them?

That's why I think they're waiving Mexican flags, because they feel divided by Trump, and they don't know what they have gone (or their families) to get to where they are. And they want to continue to support themselves, their families, their native country, their heritage, etc., THROUGH the help of the US.

I may try to escape. I would also understand that I was breaking the law and if caught would realize that I broke the law knowingly and willingly and would expect to suffer the consequences.

This is what other countries do. They deport illegal aliens. I'm traveling to a Caribbean country in July. I looked up their immigration laws. I will be deported if I overstay my visit. I would expect that exact thing to happen if I did choose to break their laws.

This is a country, not a charity.

Would you wave the American flag at a protest in a foreign country?

I would not. That would be disrespectful. So no, I don't understand why they do it here.
