1. I fail to see a problem with immigration

Those who see a problem with immigration do not see the value given to our country by immigrants. That has been the case for more than 200 years. Those reading this have immigrants in their ancestry, unless you are a Native American. So we are talking hundreds of millions of immigrants and their descendants. Who have already made America Great. Immigrants of all colors. Interesting that white slave owners needed to import hundreds of thousands of immigrants from Africa to make those slave owners rich. And they treated those slaves horribly. I’m making myself sick discussing what THEY have done for all these years.

Trumps lies are believed by people who have no love of country. And he doesn’t care as long as they believe.

2. As I've said before which obviously agrees with you, every single one of us comes from immigrants

Otherwise we wouldn't be here. Immigrants built this country, whether they came here a few centuries ago (my paternal grandmother's Dutch ancestors) or "on the last boat" (a term my mother used for her parents who both came from Poland as young people in the early 20th century). And you know who also agrees? Ronald Reagan! He spoke in favor of immigration often. So much for "the party of Reagan" - let alone Lincoln.
