As Donald Trump dominates the GOP nomination race and some of his inflammatory comments find favor with the party faithful, CBS News measured how the public feels about his “poisoning the blood” language. A striking number of voters agree with this description of immigrants who enter the U.S. illegally, and among Republicans, associating the remarks with Trump himself makes them even likelier to agree.
Is no one reading the article? It’s about immigrants that enter illegally. Not legal immigrants.
I mean, anyone that agrees with statements like “poisoning the blood” will assume every brown person is an illegal immigrant (with very very few exceptions who will be described as ‘one of the good ones’).
Because they’re a racist shithead.
How is this a response to what I was asking? Are you just upset and taking it out someone that actually read the details of the statement?
And this children, is an exhibit of the classic dog whistle One that has existed and will exist for decades and in multiple countries or smaller clusters. It is a classic because it is always applicable and vague enough for the listener to assign their own meaning and intensity.
“Illegal” immigrants is the code for “too many” immigrants. I’m sure they genuinely believe they are illegal and harmful. And don’t give two fucking shots that illegal immigrants are more likely to be victims of sex trafficking but we don’t have a sleek white Christian CIA agent saving those babies on American soil.
No. It means those that don’t have the legal right to work here. I have personally encountered. They are here and cool people but don’t posses the necessary paperwork to perform the jobs they are hired to do. Such as DOT regulations.
But sure, make it about some other thing. Because you can’t help but make fun of the guy that actually read the article.
If we’re so worried about illegal immigrants then why do we not make it easier to legally immigrate to the US. The current wait time for an immigrant with a sponsor already in the US is between 5 and 10 years. People fleeing violence can’t wait 1 year much less 10. If the US were serious about controlling illegal immigration they would make a viable and expedient path to citizenry for all that come to our borders.
Well I think there are many reasons. First off, it’s a logistical nightmare. It’s not as simple as a person applies and are accepted. How does that protect us from criminals? The Mexican Mafia is no joke. You don’t think they would exploit that?
Secondly, multiply that by 400. Because everyone from every country thinks the US has it the best. For many reasons. Including Hollywood.
