How do you feel about this quote from the State of the Union?

All Americans, not only in the states most heavily affected, but in every place in this country, are rightly disturbed by the large numbers of illegal aliens entering our country. The jobs they hold might otherwise be held by citizens or legal immigrants. The public service they use impose burdens on our taxpayers. That's why our administration has moved aggressively to secure our borders more by hiring a record number of new border guards, by deporting twice as many criminal aliens as ever before, by cracking down on illegal hiring, by barring welfare benefits to illegal aliens.

In the budget I will present to you we will try to do more to speed the deportation of illegal aliens who are arrested for crimes, to better identify illegal aliens in the workplace as recommended by the commission headed by former Congresswoman Barbara Jordan.

We are a nation of immigrants. But we are also a nation of laws. It is wrong and ultimately self-defeating for a nation of immigrants to permit the kind of abuse of our immigration laws we have seen in recent years, and we must do more to stop it.

    The quote in question is irrelevant as the orator would know neither honour nor honesty if they bit him in the gonnards.

    It is completely relevant...it is the topic of the question.

    As I pointed out it is not what is said, it is who that says it, so until dodgy Donald shows that he is a man of his word, what he says is  nothing more than white noise.

    So you dismiss it because of President Trump? How would you feel about it if say Pres Obama or Pres Clinton made the statement? This post was edited by my2cents at February 2, 2018 5:44 AM MST
