net migration under President Obama was close to zero and we had one of the strictest immigration policies under his administration. He is trying to appease some of his xenophobic/nationalist base who blame immigrants for everything.
There will be alot of profiling and people taking the law into their hands and thats sets a bad precedent.It will be deemed unconstitutional.
It is unrealistic because all 50 states will be denied funding for such petty ? , Trump really dont want them problems.
You are gonna try and arrest/detain people from every nationality? really? -
Dont forget he used illegals where he saw fit and so do many.. corporate greed/white flight are a bigger problem than some "illegal" stealing your jobs...
Eastern Europeans and East Asians are groups that "steal" jobs
Xenophobia and Nationalism drives the Anti movement -

Just met with this Hispanic man about a job. While in there he has the TV on Faux News and it's running a piece about sanctuary cities and how America needs to build that wall and which Houston has to be one of the major sanctuary cities in America. He has a "Make America Great Again" hat on his desk and is talking about how he loves Trump and how he voted for him. This dude is a disgrace to his culture and the sad thing is its alot of his amigos that went against their own best interest just to support Trump and look good to the white man. Pathetic pieces of ? some of these folks are and I ain't taking this job
Ducktales
ducktales? u know that was your papi -
*No sarcasm*
Have to give credit where its due.
Apparently Trump sat down with CEOs from GM, Ford, and Chrysler; presumedly to discuss how to bring jobs back to the US.
Anytime the President is actually LISTENING to experts with the purpose of helping the middle class, that's a good thing.
Let's see what comes of it... he's made some lofty promises.
a corporate goof sitting down with a bunch of other corporate goofs to discuss business is never a good thing. stop... -
^^^ Nah.
"Corporate goofs" leading Billion dollar companies have the power the move the economy and hire hundreds of thousands of people -
Meeting with industry experts and actually listening to them is a good thing.
Whether or not it leads to anything remains to be seen -

Have you met your new President, White House, and Congress?
Turn on the news.
They are re-writing the rules regarding the things that are considered "essential" to the American people.

Trump Says U.S. Should Have Stolen Iraq’s Oil, and ‘Maybe We’ll Have Another Chance’
http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2017/01/trump-u-s-may-get-another-chance-to-take-iraqi-oil.html
During his campaign his idea to get the oil was fukin comedy lol
When Lauer pressed Trump on how he would have accomplished this, Trump said the United States would have to "leave a certain group behind and you would take various sections where they have the oil. … You know, it used to be to the victor belong the spoils. Now, there was no victor there, believe me. There was no victor. But I always said: Take the oil."
Trump has publicly offered this idea numerous times. Here are just a few examples:
• "ISIS is taking over a lot of the oil and certain areas of Iraq. And I said you take away their wealth, that you go and knock the hell out of the oil, take back the oil. We take over the oil, which we should have done in the first place." Meet the Press, Aug. 16, 2015

The White Disenfranchisement Narrative
Here is an NPR audiocast on the topicThe narrative goes like this: For decades, white America has increasingly been left behind. The nation's culture and politics have steadily shifted to favor minorities and immigrants over the hard working white folk struggling to stay afloat.
But is this notion even remotely true? As Trump rides a wave of populous sentiment into the White House, the question remains as relevant as ever. Today we speak with sociologists and culture critics about the origin, impact and veracity of the narrative of white disenfranchisement.

Right idea....wrong wording....ISIS main funding comes from iraqi oil sales....it is their main source of funding... they generate close to 600 million a year from oil transactions...
Trump simplistic s train of thought is no oil= no funding for ISIS -

They send us internal emails everyday.
Hiring freeze means people who are not already working for the federal government will not be able to apply, all positions will be only for employees already there not for non federal employees. Your interpreting it wrong because your an outsider and not privy to internal information. Bush did the same thing, if you ar a VA employee involved with patient care operations or direct patient care your considered essintial and exempt from what I stated above.

http://www.cnn.com/2017/01/25/politics/mexico-president-donald-trump-enrique-pena-nieto-border-wall/index.html
smh. there is no good end for this wall ? . 1 it makes zero sense. Trump is so ? stupid, he really believes Mexico gone repay him for the ? . BUT they will not. But if there is no real "repayment plan" signed and put in place. Congress will NOT approve the wall, so IT WILL NOT get built. Then he will just end up blaming congress for the wall not getting done.....
which will end up being a pattern. he will blame other ppl for all his empty, stupid, ? promises not getting done.
What a mess. -

http://www.mediaite.com/tv/kellyanne-conway-denies-tiffany-trump-is-registered-to-vote-in-two-states-yes-she-is/Top Donald Trump White House aide Kellyanne Conway denied on NBC’s Today Thursday that Tiffany Trump was registered to vote in two different states, even though Tiffany Trump is registered to vote in two different states.
“I talked last night with Tiffany Trump, and she said it is flatly false that she is registered in two states,” Conway said.
“And I recall talking with Tiffany all through the fall when she was making sure she could reregister in New York to vote for her father. She had been registered in Pennsylvania and went through the process, said it was very byzantine and took a long time. But she said she is not registered in two states,” she continued.
A quick search of the Pennsylvania and New York online voter registries reveals that Trump is indeed registered in both states.
An hour after Conway’s interview, NBC reported that Pennsylvania election officials confirmed that she was still registered there, even though she no longer resides in the state.
