Domspeak Forums Discussions Off Topic & Politics Trump Voter, Trump Hater & Undecied Walk into a Yoga Studio

Yes, this actually happened. My youngest daughter, who is 19 years old, works part time at a yoga studio. She was working with the daughter of illegal immigrates and a single mother who is in her late 20's and still undecided. The Trump hater asked her who she voted for. She was uncomfortable with the question as not to bring her political beliefs to work with her. But, she answered. That resulted in a bit of a debate. My daughter (She's such a great kid) was incredibly diplomatic. When presented with propaganda, my daughter responded with questions about policy issues and presented facts. She held her own without allowing it to escalate, as the Trump hating child of illegals was pushing for. The single mother appreciated the gentle points my daughter was making. I'm quite impressed in the way my kiddo handled it and wish she'd quit that job and focus on teaching spin. My little dynamo plays ice hockey at an elite level, is preparing for college and working her fanny off. She is the most self disciplined, driven kid ever who doesn't expect a thing handed to her even though she grew up in what some people would consider privilege.

My take away on this? Who the heck do illegal immigrates or their children think they are? Their sense of entitle is astounding. What other country allows an invasion? Can you think of a single country you can enter into illegally and be rewarded for it? In the same breath, our government should have fixed this a long time ago. In 1980 on the debate state, Reagan and Bush pretty much agreed on a solution for illegal immigration but nothing came of it. In Clinton's State of the Union Address, he emphases the urgency of it but nothing came from it. So, here we are now.

Where I live half the town hires Ilegals as housekeepers, maids or grass cutters.....I dont..

They are everywhere and they have come to cancel your vote....

Guaranteed that daughter of Illegals voted too..

And she sounds like an anchor baby if her parents are illegal...

Re: Ronald Reagan

Thats factually incorrect that Reagan did nothing..

In fact (as much as I like Reagan) he made things worse with his 1986 amnesty bill which allowed undocumented Illegals to become citizens.. So basically Ronald Reagan started all this shit..

If her parents,who came into this country illegally, were able to vote in Florida, that really takes the cake. All three of their of their votes would be a vote against my daughter's safety in playing ice hockey in college. Like many female athletes, she made many sacrifices to play this very demanding support at a very young age. She was recruited by an excellent college because of her ice hockey skills. Playing at an elite level of female ice hockey takes a sacrifice of time and a lot of money for the parents too. A vote for Harris is a vote against women's sports. I have friends who are immigrates and love this country. There is no sense of entitlement on their part. My son has a friend who came here illegally. He's a hard worker and also loves this country. He's working on becoming a citizen. Even with the possibility of being deported, he would vote for Trump if he was a citizen. He says that he doesn't want this country to become everything he fled from. So, they all aren't bad. They should have never been put in the position to break the law with a wink, wink and a nudge from our government.

That is a disappointment. I didn't know that about Reagan.

Reading through this thread, with all respect, you sound a little racist. I'm sure that you aren't but look at the big picture. White people invaded this country and took it from Native Americans. They are complaining about other countries coming in is hypocritical. The way immigration is being handled is sloppy and politically motivated. It is part of the reason I went against every bone in my body and voted for Trump. I still almost gag when I say that. What is going on now is not right for anyone. I've been an RN in a hospital for 10 years. I've seen it all. There has to be a balance somewhere. People can't be invited into this country and criticized for not having the same rights as everyone else.

I’ll put a slightly different spin on your point about invading. The entire history of humanity is one nation or race invading and conquering another. And it’s not like the peoples living here did so in peace. The Aztec, Incan, and Mayan Empires did not get their empires through peace and love.

All of this is true....

Btw,

Every empire that you mentioned and several more that you did not mention (specifically the Roman and Egyptian empires) were conquered and destroyed by "invaders"....

The United States of America is no different....

This issue is NOT about racism, its about the economic toll placed on the tax paying citizens.... Our schools, healthcare system, housing system and our culture has been ripped apart by these Illegal invaders....

The bottom line is that they came here illegally while the ones who came before them arrived legally...

Very well put. I totally agree.

Sorry for the late response. I just now saw it. Mary, how does it sound racist? I'd be saying the same thing regardless of skin color. I am glad to hear that you agree illegal immigration is out of control. Do you believe those who came here illegally should be deported?
