Which recent President do you think did not talk like that? Maybe Carter and Bush?

Personally I don't curse or like cursing but my vote was based upon policy not language.

Maybe if the Clinton Foundation had actually used the donations they received for Haiti instead of for lining their own pockets, Haiti wouldn't be such a s***hole.

Not politically correct, and not even sure this was even said, but no denying the facts. Why should we take in uneducated people from a crime ridden, impoverished country?

I think this would be a wonderful opportunity to pause for a moment and give thanks for the many great
contributions of the Black community and their culture to our society. Their peaceful and generous nature makes them ideal neighbors, lending testimony to their exceptional family values and parenting skills unrivaled by any other culture.

Their commitment to academic excellence enriches our schools and serves as an example to all who hope to
achieve prominence as a people. Real Estate values are fueled by the influx of African Americans into an area due to their caring and respectful nurturing of these communities, an example of all they have achieved by their enthusiasm for self-improvement through hard work and a self-reliant can-do nature. Without their industrious and creative drive, we would be poorer as a nation.

LMFAO.
Once again, you are missing the point.

It's not the comment about the country....it's the comment about not wanting them to be here. BIG DIFFERENCE.

It's different to say that Mississippi is trash......versus saying why would we want people from Mississippi in our state. Big difference.

Not this again! For the umpteenth time Mexico doesn't "send" legal immigrants they come on their own with papers in hand and they aren't the problem. It is those here illegally that are and not all of them are those things. Now, are you and yours going to keep repeating this nonsense a year, 5 years, 10 years from now? It's getting old!

Bad choice of a source, even Cato which is a right leaning libertarian think tank disputes those findings.
