Corbyn Saying The Usa Should Open Their Borders.

[webbo3]

Not content with say we should have unfettered immigration he thinks America should be doing the same.

Eddie at 08:23, you missed a word out there. "Undocumented".

Trump said //What we are going to do is get the people that are criminal and have criminal records, gang members, drug dealers, where a lot of these people, probably two million – it could be even three million – we are getting them out of the country or we are going to incarcerate,” //

Is that a bad thing? I don't think so.

The American economy, especially the farming sector, would slowly collapse if it wasn't for immigrant labour.

[naomi24]

Mikey, if the US needs immigrant labour, it will hire immigrant labour. The suggestion is that it rids itself of people it doesn't need.

[EDDIE51]

^ That is what I said ' 'the UK has a legal minimum wage , the USA does not''
I am making the same point as you, that not having a minimum wage forces down wages and harms the poorest in society!
Please, at least read my answers before you contradict me!

[naomi24]

Eddie, I read your answer. Try to read mine.

According to Donald Trump yesterday he is going to deport illegal immigrants starting with drug dealers and other criminals.

[Baldric]

///US President-elect Donald Trump has said he will deport or jail up to three million illegal migrants initially.
Those targeted would be migrants with criminal records, such as gang members and drug dealers, he told US broadcaster CBS in an interview///

Remove or jail , *gang members, drug dealers and illegal migrants*.

And the problem is?

[EDDIE51]

naomi I know it is 'undocumented' that is in the link I posted. Even Trump can not cancel the status of those who have legally gained the right to live in the USA. The 'undocumented immigrants' are the huge bulk of the low paid who do all the jobs the rest of the USA labour force will not touch. Like it or not they are a vital part of the US economy.

Unfortunately the resident left are reading what they want to read rather than accept reality.

Trump, and Farage were accused by them of saying all immigrants and Muslims will be kicked out. That is not the case and even when it is in black and white that Trump only wants to deal with the illegals and cut gun crime (Mickey should be all for that really), drugs and illegal human trafficking. I fail to see what is wrong with that?

[agchristie]

I thought I was on the thread entitled 'Labour Politician talks sense' and then I realised...

[youngmafbog]

No this one is about Mr Corbyn.

The first post on here says it all.

[naomi24]

youngmafbog, // Trump only wants to deal with the illegals and cut gun crime (Mickey should be all for that really), drugs and illegal human trafficking. I fail to see what is wrong with that? //

Ask Eddie and Mikey. They seem to know what's wrong with it.

[mikey4444]

A criticism levelled against immigration into Britain, unfairly, is that they are only here for the benefits package that they can obtain.

But in America, there is no such protection, so it should be presumed that most, if not all of the migrants are there to work. Mostly in areas of the economy that the white American population will not work.

Also, if Trump is going to deport/jail 3 million migrants, what about the people that are employing the majority them now ? Is he going to jail them as well.

Still can't see "unfettered" anywhere though !

[naomi24]

Mikey, are you actually reading the posts here?

[youngmafbog]

No, they will have to employ legals and pay appropriate taxes etc.

What is wrong with that?

And many out of that 3 million are not only illegal but criminals. Do you really think they should stay?

Honestly sometimes you seem to be right barking.

[youngmafbog]

No, he isn't Naomi. Both Mickey and Eddie have the habit of reading what they want to read not what is written.

Of the total population of the USA 1.01 % are the indigenous Native Americans and the rest are all immigrants (who have treated the Native Americans very badly over the years). A nation of immigrants denying others the right to migrate.... got to laugh.

[mikey4444]

Trump has no idea whatsoever how many of the migrants are criminals. There are no reliable figures to go on.

If the authorities knew that, they would have been rounded up and deported years ago.

[mikey4444]

MallyJ....very true !

I have been to Wounded Knee, and have seen the mass burial site.

Mikey, from one of your own links @ 08:28.

///An estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants live in the US, many of them from Mexico, and Mr Trump made immigration and border control a key part of his campaign///.
