Pro-life..His defense of that position at the 3rd debate was about as straightforward as I've heard any republican say in modern times, especially those already in office
Thank you for actual reasonable post.
Where I disagree is the points I've highlighted.
De-regulation of the EPA? Why? Is global warming not a thing in your mind? Although I do agree the EPA can be quite harsh and policies absurd there should be regulation on some environmental changes to renewables, etc...
Are you informed on illegal immigrants and how they benefit the US? They usually pay taxes now-a-days and don't get just everything for free like everyone believes. Or are you referring to "Muslim" immigrants?
Taxes, How else does he plan on increasing military spending when it is already high and he plans on cutting taxes? Several billion missing in tax revenue with the biggest tax cuts for the millionaires/billionaires. Cut the “social programs” you say? Okay. You’ll still have to pay in a free market for things that you were paying for with taxes. It all equals out. At least in theory.
Why, also reinforce the military? Why stick our nose in all of the foreign issues? We should increase assistance programs for them since they are having issues adapting back to society instead of building military back.
Pro life? Why? Shouldn't we raise awareness on contraception and pregnancy prevention over forcing a woman to have baby if they aren't educated? All that does is increase costs of the general population especially the lower educated people and poorer people who don't have the same access to birth control and education as others do. Will the be an exception for women who have a forced pregnancy?
As for immigration, between your questions, and the next post, I an tell you're emotional about it. Why are you specifically asking me about Muslim immigrants? That is a far smaller issue than immigrants of all types coming over the border in droves. Politicians have been quoting the "12 million undocumented immigrants" here for 20 years as if that number never went up post Reagan. An easier problem to solve that I'd like to see movement on is overstayed visas. These are the illegals who we know precisely who they are. wTF so controversial about that? Also, Trump did not say ban 100% of Muslims forever. He said ban them until we know who they are. What's wrong with that? It's also not unprecedented in this country. Immigration with assimilation is a thing. Look it up, check out France. We as a country spend a lot of money catering to different languages and cultures both officially and unofficially.
.
Yes, bit "emotional" as my parents immigrated here and lots of my family. As i mentioned previously, i also have several Muslim friends who are fantastic people and I do not take kindly to the way they are being portrayed, sue me.
I am asking about Muslim immigrants because you took the time to add to your post, "stop with this bullshit about him banning 100% of any X group." Let's call a spade, a spade. The only group that has been stated about is Muslims, so that is why. Nearly every time we have limited immigration from a region or culture it has been an overreaction, this is no different.
You didn't answer my question. France has it's own culture, identity. It's still a piss-poor idea and is also not working, but at least they have something to assimilate to. There is no, "American Culture," because by it's very design America is a combination of various cultures, not to even begin with regions.
Not that you will, since you've already shown that you don't care to learn more, but this is a good read on why "assimilation based immigration" is a terrible idea. Quote from research paper regarding France:
"The impossibility of assimilating 6 million individuals and the unwillingness to make the compromises necessary to bring them in as a group have led to predictable failures."
