No, I disagree but still respect views that aren't xenophobic and bigoted. I respect the views of Bush or Romney supporters and agree to disagree. Because they aren't actively hurting other groups of people and don't spread hate like saying that Muslims or Mexicans are the problem. I don't respect the views of people who support the more extreme policies trump has. There's a difference.
Do you know how hard it is to enter the US? It can take years. And longer to gain citizenship. I can understand why people come illegally. Deporting 12 million people l, tearing apart their families, and building a wall isn't the answer. And then temporarily banning Muslims from the US. There isn't an inherent problem with being Muslim, and if you think there is you're insane. Flat taxes or abortion issues i can agree to disagree with. Beliefs like that are ones i cant as a human being who has empathy.
Edit: After reading the OP apparently this thread is just for the election itself and not for stuff like this so I'll stop lol

100% agree with the Muslim thing, although, if I expanded on it, you would probably 100% disagree with me. I think there should be a temporary ban on any immigrants from specific countries or regions. You can't judge whether someone's really a Muslim or not, and even if you could, they aren't Muslim; it's just their excuse. I think the Middle-East is the problem area, not the religion of the person. As for deporting illegal immigrants, honestly, there's no good solution. People just criticize Trump's statement to send them back, but no one else comes up with a valid solution themselves. It's the politicians' fault for letting the issue get this out-of-hand. Supporting the idea of sending illegal immigrants back is hardly racist, like many people believe. They are in the country illegally, and that has to be addressed in some form. If we let them all become citizens, then we create a precedent that illegal immigrants will all eventually become citizens, which would encourage people to enter the country illegally even more. Something needs to be done to address the issue of current illegal immigrants - whatever that may be - and something needs to be done to address the issue of how people are getting in illegally. How hard it is to get in the U.S. plays no part in this issue. That's a separate issue. We have rules for a reason, and if someone believes that the rules should be changed, then that's a separate issue, but we still have to deal with the current problem with illegal immigrants, and border patrol. It's not hateful to believe illegal immigrants should be sent back; in fact, it's logical. We have rules in place, and they need to be followed, and with any rule, something needs to be in place to deal with those who break them. I don't actually support sending them all back, but I don't oppose it either. I think this possible solution is as absurd as all the others, like those that want to make them all citizens, or to legalize them, but not let them be citizens. Either way, no solution to that problem matters until there is a solution to prevent mass amounts of illegal immigration from happening again.
Side note for the Muslim immigration ban idea. Honestly, PC exists because of society creating it. While I disagree on the idea of temporarily banning Muslims, I do agree with the intention behind it. I just think it should apply to everyone from certain, at-risk areas, not just Muslims. People disagree with limiting anyone from entering the country, and some people want America to take in thousands of refugees, yet they also want to be assured that America is safe from terrorism. And when a tragedy hits from ISIS-involved refugees, they blame the government for not keeping them safe. The government is supposed to make the hard decisions that aren't always fair, but are in the best interests of its country. It's naive to "want your cake, and eat it too." |
