What if being responsible to your family meant getting them somewhere safe, and the place that is safe is saying to go fuck yourself because you didn’t have time to learn fluent english during those times between dodging bullets?
A place that tells them to go fuck themselves doesn’t sound all that safe.
“No man is an island, entire upon himself…”
And at least many of us are not saying the US should exhaust itself Giving-Tree-like for the sake of the world, either. That would end up worse for all involved. But at the same time, committing ourselves to a zero-sum “we win, everyone else loses, sucks to be you” POV does seem to be surrendering the moral high ground.
(… OK, that is if as many US conservatives you claim to be a Christian. OTOH if you are benighted members of the cult of Ayn Rand and DO believe you have no responsibility for your fellow human, well, can’t help you there, hope you REALLY are superior enough to survive when the balloon goes up…)
However, seeing as to how the new policy does not only turn immigration into something competitive but would also cut down the total numbers of **legal **immigrants it’s hard to see how great an advantage does it represent. What it sounds is more like a philosophical doctrinal type of policy: its designers are people who believe they earned and deserved their positions of power and wealth over the other losers, and want future generations of immigrants to share the ideology of having “earned” and “deserved” their entry.
We’re a better place without you.
Do you mean like Hillary dodging bullets in Bosnia? :dubious:
Is that what you and Okra want? A place less safe than the “dodging bullets interfered with my english class” place?
And yet I’m still here.
You, on the other hand, are one of the biggest libtards on this board, like Elvis and Bob Lib Dum.
Just had to force in a Clinton reference that makes no sense.
Uh, no; I want us to be well enough off that we can afford to throw some bennies to other folks, because that’d be real nice. But I figure we’re kinda full up with our own problems right now, so that’s gonna haveta wait; figure if we throw the doors open to everyone trying to flee some shithole, then pretty soon we’re just another shithole, and figure now’d be a real good time to stave off that “pretty soon”.
I’m sorry (not really) that your reading comprehension is so poor.
If nothing else the responses to this thread were predictable.
It’s just a coincidence that this guy, Richard Spencer’s college buddy, just happened to use a word that means one thing to white nationalists/nativists and reminds everyone else of a fashion magazine. It’s a coincidence, not a dog whistle. It’s a totally common expression in flyover country.
That’s your story?
Editing to add a quote from the linked article.
In February, he appeared on Face The Nation, during which he had this exchange with John Dickerson. The interesting bit is in Miller’s last sentence, but I’m including the earlier back and forth for context. (Bolding added by me.) His language is kind of scary.
It just seems like you just had to shoehorn in a reference to Clinton. Just like the shitgibbon you worship.
Why would you say that? I only worship God, not politicians.
Someone already mentioned it, but I’ll reiterate in light of this post that Stephen Miller is Jewish.
Weird that he’s such a Nazi, then.
Bullshit. Someone who truly worships God wouldn’t be the cold sociopath that you are.
because your statement caught me off guard. I, truly, have never heard that said before, and I’m not sure I exactly understand it.

Whether or not it’s their stated purpose, the dollars of foreign aid the US sends to other countries are expected to improve the conditions of those countries; improved conditions means people want to stay there.
Is it right that the US throws money at perceived problems? That’s a whole other, longer thread I’m sure. But every US taxpayer’s dollar has our collective face on it and the world sees it more clearly than we sometimes do back here in the US.
I didn’t say it was based on reality. But Trump’s base likes to be told it’s better than all those East Coast/West Coast city people. Sure, they might have fancy college degrees but you guys have common sense. You know how things work in the real world not like those ivory tower eggheads. So just keep supporting Mr Trump and don’t go listening to all that fake news coming out of the media. Mr Trump’s gonna make America great again, just like it used to be. Etc etc etc.
