Can you name a single benefit of importing poor people? It has nothing to do with race. I wouldn't want people from North Korea or Moldova either.
Why do you keep answering the same obvious questions. Civilized and advanced countries have imported poor people for thousands of years. Germany imports workers - I'm sure the rich Arab countries import labor - Israel imports labor.
It sounds like you need to do some research or ask the opposite question...why have people high up the scale cleaning out your sewers?
Is this the thread where we all get outraged and pretend Haiti isn't a **** hole or did I take a wrong turn at the thread where we all get outraged and pretend nobody swears during closed door meetings?
I want to know how we got off track enough to think that the president of the United States can talk like this and so many think it's okay.
If you check previous posts of some of the cultists defending Trump’s indefensible comment, you’ll find overtly racist posts. They love Trump because they think his success has mainstreamed their racism.
As a result, comments you used to associate with Stormfront are commonplace here now.
Well, its the truth. African countries and Haiti ARE s***hole countries.
Maybe they are. Maybe that's the reason the people want to come here?
And places like Norway? Why would any Norwegian want to come here? Why would anyone from a civilized first world country want to come here? They have national health insurance, pensions, and a decent standard of living for most of their citizens. This country has a way to go to be able to attract people from first world countries.
They also don't have a 47% who pay nothing, they don't hand out that 'safety net' to just anyone either, and if you don't work, you don't get to use the 'safety net'. They also have massively higher taxes than the US. Liberals wouldn't support anything that goes into actually making a country like Norway work.
I'm a liberal and I'm all for it. I'm all for free education that turns every person into a tax payer. A third of their population works for the government and Denmark, it's 38%. Free universal healthcare? Free education? Free public pensions? A strong union and a pension program that allows for early retirement? Please show me where liberals would oppose that. While the taxes would be painful at first, the money that is currently spent trying to find health coverage and afford education, would go toward guaranteed coverage, education and a public pension. Glad to see Trump supports it.
Absolutely. We want to be seen as the good guys protecting our own people as well as furthering human progress. That's right: Immigration restriction is progressive.
We aren't the world's dump. We built a nice country, and we intend to keep it nice. People who build sh*thole countries need to keep out.
Really, everyone needs to be kept out to preserve the value of citizens' equity share and voting share in the country, but it goes double for these types.
Sure we built a nice country. WITH IMMIGRANTS!!!
And sometimes people can't help the state of their countries. War, famine, natural disasters have happened to many of these third world countries through no fault of its people. It's ridiculous to think we are so much better than they are and that those same things couldn't happen to us. Jesus, no wonder this country is in the state it's in, with attitudes like what I read on this thread.
As a Norwegian, I would LOVE to see America turn to a Norwegian system.
I have been applying for 4 or 5 green card lotteries when I was younger, but now, that I am in mid thirties, the US system gives me NOTHING I can get here. Even though I love the US.
Or.. maybe free access to AR-15 and handguns. A bit more difficulties getting those here.. but not impossible.
And, I would add, we are not a Socialist country.. We are a Social Democracy.
The state does not own fully any means of production, but some of the largest corporations are co-owned, by 40-50% letting the state take part in the profits of corporations that deliver social goods. Like electricity, oil, rails, post office, etc etc.
My wife who works for a huge international corp, high up in management, with offices all over the world, tells me 99% of the people she meets, wants to move to Norway after they discuss how the work/life, benefits, social safety net etc etc works.
Right now, only the most driven people wants to move abroad.. mostly in economics and maybe a few engineers. My wife used to work in the finance district in London, but moved home again.. now she earns more then ever and decides how here workday herself. Workers has it SO much better in the Norwegian system, then in almost any other country she has talked to.. and she constantly meets and travels abroad, where this often comes up.
Compared to the US system.. you guys in the US do not know what you are missing out on!!
Trump is such an idiot. Only a moron would say something such as this. Wait. DJT is a moron. Guess it should be expected.
