I always thought the USA was a country where everybody was welcome, and to live their live as they wanted. However, I just see that being changed into live the way a christian American wants. So I do not understand how a country that claims to want to be as free as possible, can solidly vote for someone who wants to reduce that freedom so broadly. From freedom of religion, to freedom ...
You're thoughts are definately right, but they are also definately wrong. Our immigration "laws" do allow for darn near anyone to come to this nation LEGALLY (emphasis). Those people are not stoopid when they come here, ie they have a very real understanding why they are "chosing" to leave wherever and come here, (and are aware of our/their freedoms and liberties). But we make no bones of what it is this nation is founded on. You come here to fit in with Americans, fine. You come here to make this country like where you left, we got a little problem with that. Why don't you simply go back where you came from?
You come here illegally, the Clinton/Obama side of politics doesn't seem to have a problem with that. Trump, "all ya'all illegals go back where ya came from".
This country was founded on Judeo Christian principles. We are getting farther and farther from that the more we try to say there is no right or wrong or absolutes or God, and every one simply does what's right in their own eyes.
In part, our freedom is part of the problem, because when you immigrate here, you too have governed freedom, but not everyone will necessarily want you doing that which you are free to do, (like trying to change the foundational status quo of this great nation).
And for any of those reading this who may have talked of immigrating to Canada if what happened, happened. Please do, we won't miss ya, and take as many others with ya that are talking about it.
Yes, talk is free and cheap, and only time will tell if Trump is able to follow through with what he claimed to do, but at least he has given us a whole lot of hope. A bit contrary to the despair about the other sides agenda. Maybe, just maybe, that is why he won. Hmmm, what a novel idea.
So if this don't help ya get it, I can't.
