And your beloved leader (who, according to Ivana, slept with a copy of Mein Kampf beside the bed) has just embraced a term synonymous with fascist extremism - indeed the word "Nazi" is derived from the German word for "nationalist".

When we use phrases like ‘undocumented workers,’ we convey a message to the American people that their government is not serious about combating illegal immigration.”
Policy:
Illegal immigration is wrong, and future illegal immigration must be curtailed.
Control of borders is needed through increased infrastructure (fences, borders), and security personal at the border
We need an employment verification system to guarantee that all workers hired are in the country legally. This must be strictly enforced with penalties for those who don’t comply.
Those currently in the country illegally to be required to register with the government and submit to a rigorous process of becoming a legal citizen, or face deportation.
Reducing illegal immigration will make more room for legal family immigration.
We must encourage the world’s “best and brightes... less

We simply can’t afford it.
“And, I think you’ve seen the figures, to state and local governments, of what the cost is. It’s over two billion dollars in California alone."

We are a generous and welcoming people here in the United States but those who enter the country illegally and those who employ them disrespect the rule of law and they are showing disregard for those following the law. We simply cannot allow people to pour into the United States undetected, undocumented, unchecked and circumventing the line of people who are waiting patiently, diligently and lawfully to become immigrants in this country. less

The thing of it is, the blue wave is African American. It is white. It is Latino. It is Asian-Pacific Islander,” she said, going through a diverse list of groups.
“It is made up of those who’ve been told that they are not worthy of being here. It is comprised of those who are documented and undocumented,” she said.

Most of them were of the “sad but true” and “we’re long past that” variety. One French friend reminded me that “regime” is the word Americans use to describe a foreign government they are about to overthrow. That’s something to think about.In any case, since I wrote that line I should probably explain a bit more about what I meant. In fact, as of this moment, we still have a system of government that might save us from the increasingly dangerous trends of the Trump era. But the moment is fast approaching when that will no longer be possible. - Christopher Dickey less
