    Apparently to some people it is.

    The whole chain migration thing needs to be ended. If someone comes and signs up for welfare then his ass needs to go back where he came from because we do not need more blood suckers sucking up welfare. We have enough with the native population and do not need to import more.

    Isn't it a bit weird that a merit based immigration policy it being pushed by the same people that complain about immigrants stealing all the jobs? :chris:

    I imagine the bar is supposed to be higher than the jobs at which these people work?

    I find it interesting this terrorist attack comes the day after indictments and the guy is from Russia.

    I’d personally like to see 0 - 1 immigrants annually. But merit-based immigration is an enormous improvement on what we currently have: if you’re going to flood US with third-worlders, it’s much more sustainable to cherry pick the ones capable of carrying their own weight.

    Zero-tolerance for GIBS.

    K. could be one of the dumbest fucks ever. Even the German government, which is a terrible government, agrees chain migration where one shit stain gets in and then you get dozens of new welfare cases is a bad idea. Ideally, as Trump said, you need a merit based system so people do eventually pay their own way.

    Shit bags need not apply.

    Um, thanks for participating? It was a rhetorical question, though. I think it's obvious why Trump is politicising one tragedy but not the other.

    Magazine complains Trump didn't demand death penalty for Las Vegas Shooter.

    Magazine later adds correction to article:

    Edit: An earlier version of this article used a headline noting that Trump had publicly called for the death penalty in the New York attack, but not the Las Vegas shooting in particular. That discrepancy is probably related to the fact that the Las Vegas shooter is dead. We regret the error.

    One could wish that liberals all over the country woke up one day, realized the inconsistencies, incongruities and outright self-destructiveness of so many of their positions and come to the same realization; "We regret the error."

    We know better now, you can't kill a dead person, diversity is not a worthwhile end in and of itself (more pedophiles doesn't make for a richer culture), little 2-year-old tykes with penises are dudes, an objective of government is to get people better jobs not more free stuff, trump's form of demagoguing illegals and murderous immigrants is no different than Obama and Warren's pandering to constituents by demonizing bankers and the well off, etc.

    [But then one would have to apply a liberal's thinking and unreal view of humanity to conjure such a wish, and they'd cancel each other out.]

    If you really want to stop them from coming in you need to stop the visas for cheap educated labor. Most Muslims are not coming over here getting welfare. They are actually taking decent jobs and business opportunities because they want to get out of their country and it costs money to get to America. The poor ones are sailing across the med to Europe.
