Where's the call to build a wall between the US and Canada? Are you going to tell me that we don't have a problem with Canadians living illegally in America? Oh yeah that's right, if their skin is close to that of a Caucasian they go undetected so how would we Americans ever know because they are not being singled out and scrutinized. I grew up in Northern California and we have a large Ukrainian population in the Sacramento area too which many are illegal but they blend in well because of their skin color. So unless they open their mouths to speak they're given a pass at first glance as being your everyday average American White folks. Yet Trump makes no mention of any ethnicity other than those that look as if they border the USA to the south. Then he attempts to put a face on a religion as if only a person who "looks like this" or coming from "here" believes in Islam.
How can someone place the blame and actions of a few on the entire group if that same man is not willing to shoulder the blame for the actions of a few within his own group?
No matter how you slice it , dice it or plain ole cut it, there are good and bad in every ethnicity and religion. But to further stigmatize a group of people and call for others to follow in suit adds to the division we have in America. If Trump or any other candidate cares they would be calling for all Americans to work together to rid our society of the bad apples not just the bad apples of one group.
In my opinion, Trumps takes America backwards. We need to go forward.
there's no perpetual underlying danger with ukranians. or canadians. or even mexicans...
unlike the underlying perpetual danger of a ******. with a potential to radicalize and commit san bernardino, boston tsarnaev bombers lone wolf attacks or 9/11 attack, charlie hedbo, paris style attacks.Comment

Are people actually sitting here wondering why a proposed wall is being talked about in regards to Mexico and not Canada?
Let's cut the kumbaya shit, and be adults.
Since when has Canada had drug cartels worth billions of dollars?
Canada have drug cartels that have killed 10's of thousands of their own citizens?
A population of 120 million?
A population pipeline from Central and South America? Anybody look at how Mexico's dealings are with people migrating from a nation south of their border to their country?
Are we going to sit here and act like Canada has any kind of impact on the immigration problems/discussion on the scale of Mexico?
You can criticize Trump on his claims about how he is going to deal with it, or how he can pay for it, but bringing Canada up is fucking reaching on a Manute Bol level.Last edited by Sweet Pea 50; 01-20-2016, 04:04 PM.Comment

The rest of it I'm right on. He didn't bring it up, he simply passed on the inaccurate stats of another person.Comment

but cruz doesnt really have chance against hillary.
with trump you can see his slick braggadocio style personality there's an aaron rodgers hail mary style feel to trump vs hillary. he could actually talk his way into the presidency. can we all agree that trump is much smarter than W bush?
cruz just has no chance whatsoever. not with that face. trump with his personality has a better chance and creates for much better entertainment value.
trump v hillary >>>>> hillary vs cruzComment

We shall see.
I've always felt Hillary is over-hyped. The 2008 election was supposed to be all hers, and she lost the primary to a junior-Senator/community organizer from Chicago.
I'm not completely convinced she will beat Sanders, though she does have a big advantage with the ******** Party political machine behind her.
As to being smarter, I have no idea. I don't know the two men's respective IQs, but I do believe W Bush was the only President to have an MBA.
We'll know much more once States start primary voting.Comment
