I do not see any benefit to any immigration at the moment of any kind. The job market sucks, our entitlement system is going to drag us all down, and the country needs time to figure things out.

I do not believe immigration is a legal or moral right to non-citizens. It is frightening that we must remind everyone including lawmakers that these are NOT U.S. citizens. We have to look our for our own interests first yet the priest of political correctness have made such a statement xenophobic despite the majority of Americans agreeing with what I just wrote.

I support immigration of the best and brightest, but what we have seen with recent immigration trends is not what we require for the short or long term health of our nation. I have an appreciation for what immigration did for our country, but we need people who will assimilate, will make us better, and who love our country, culture, and freedoms. If they do not meet that definition we do not have to accept them on the whims of ANY politician.

I just promoted Trumps idea without mentioning religion.

I am starting to figure Trump out and suspect that his goal is what I said above. It encompasses his most effective message and it allows people to read into it what they are thinking without stepping into the minefield that is exploding in the media and on the campaign trail right now. However, Trump is not a politician and he has his own strategy that is quite unconventional. He is using the principles of negotiation that have made him what he is today to shoot for 100 yards when all he wants or expects is 50 yards. As a bonus he sucks all the air out of the room with his bombastic declaration and dominates another news cycle. It is a path of high risk and high reward. Will it work? I do not know because I have nothing to compare it to. Time will tell if he is far more brilliant than we realize or if he is the bombastic cartoon character he is portrayed as by the media.

Buckle your seatbelts.......
