2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumwhy would immigrants WANT to come to 2016 America anyhow
thinking about this today. The Vulgarian has single-handedly made immigration the issue for the Rs this election. The whole world is watching this insane American election in horrified amazement. Why would they want to come here when one party puts up a lunatic for the highest office in the land? ICK America, just ICK.

Cheeto Jesus aside, it's still a pretty good look option for a lot of people.

(5,700 posts)They come, work hard and get a better way of living. Trump's insane rhetoric will never deter immigrants to come to America. It is a Global thing, people look for opportunities, just like North Americans going to Asia to teach English.
Trump's assholery will bring more people to North America to enhance our economy rather than deflate it! Eff trump and the idiot machine he is peddling.

Fortunately there are liberals in the world to balance the hate coming from the right.
