"Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, but not the ones from s**thole countries."

Barbara Jordan, June 28, 1995As a nation of immigrants committed to the rule of law, this country must set limits on who can enter and back up these limits with effective enforcement of our immigration law.
Barbara Jordan, September 29, 1994Unless there is a compelling national interest to do otherwise, immigrants should be chosen on the basis of the skills they contribute to the U.S. economy.
Barbara Jordan, February 25, 1995There are people who argue that some illegal aliens contribute to our community because they may work, pay taxes, send their children to our schools, and in all respects except one, obey the law. Let me be clear: that is not enough.
Credibility in immigration policy can be summed up in one sentence: those who should get in, get in; those who should be kept out, are kept out; and those who should not be here will be required to leave.
Trump should hire Spock as one of his Twitter writers. I seem to recall the latter making a similar comment about Sudanese immigrants in Minnesota a couple of years back.elwoodblues wrote: "Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?"

Maybe I missed it, but not once in any of those quotes did I see the term "shithole countries."BackInTex wrote:Barbara Jordan, August 3, 1994Barbara Jordan, June 28, 1995As a nation of immigrants committed to the rule of law, this country must set limits on who can enter and back up these limits with effective enforcement of our immigration law.Barbara Jordan, September 29, 1994Unless there is a compelling national interest to do otherwise, immigrants should be chosen on the basis of the skills they contribute to the U.S. economy.Barbara Jordan, February 25, 1995There are people who argue that some illegal aliens contribute to our community because they may work, pay taxes, send their children to our schools, and in all respects except one, obey the law.

Gee, I know I'm getting old and forgetful, but when was she President?

I believe that you have promulgated the position that manufacturing jobs probably won't come back. Obviously,we are quickly losing service type retail jobs to self-ch ckouts and so forth. To say nothing of self-driving taxis and semis that are probably coming more quickly than I would desire.silverscreenselect wrote:Trump should hire Spock as one of his Twitter writers.

Of course. They're dark skinned people from shithole countries so they can't be trained to do anything except work the plantation. How silly of me.Spock wrote:
How do you envision an endless stream of poorly skilled immigrants from, say, Somalia and Haiti, making a living given the rapid coming loss of jobs that they can do in the modern economy?
“I wanted to come here for a better life. There, they kill people for nothing; they kidnap people for nothing,” said Fabiola Silias of New York, who says she fled unrest in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, in 2006. Silias, 41, who now works as a home health worker, says she has an application for political asylum.
In South Florida, many Haitians work in the healthcare industry. Doing away with the current protections and the work authorizations that go along with them would create an instant labor shortage in that industry, along with construction, hospitality and food processing, according to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
Actually, the country is suffering a severe shortage of carpenters. All the natural disasters plus growth and internal migration are exceeding the supply of construction workers,Spock wrote:Obviously, we are not an 1800's country with a need for an endless supply of strong backs to fill an empty continent.
Really? Then why do I get 3 - 5 calls a day from various contractors looking for work?Bob Juch wrote:Actually, the country is suffering a severe shortage of carpenters.
