Trump Quotes

[Athena]

Australia has shown the world what happens when strict border protection is reinforced - the boats have stopped and no lives are being lost at sea.

"But Australia’s Immigration Minister, Peter Dutton, responded by saying Canberra’s “position is very clear, and that is we are not going to accept people who have sought to come to our country illegally by boat, they will not settle permanently in our country.”"

Before the new border protection policy called "Operation Sovereign Borders" was setup in Sep 2013, Australia's borders were ransacked by increasing waves of undocumented illegal immigrants from the Middle East, Africa and Asia who risked their lives to reach Australia on rickety boats that often capsized & needed to be rescued by maritime defence. There were approximately 1,200 such deaths at sea and about 50,000 illegals who remain at large in the community before there was an intense debate about stopping these voyages. All experts said the boats cannot be stopped. But a new conservative government was elected & they passed legislation that made it legally impossible for anyone who came illegally to Australia to ever be allowed entry - even on a future tourist visa (this latter detail being debated right now). The other thing they did was to setup a military naval operation that actually turned boats back from where they came - or failing that, to put them into offshore detention centres where they would be eventually resettled in some other foreign country. The result is now - zero illegal boat arrivals, zero deaths at sea and zero new illegal unknown aliens roaming around in Australia. The number of people who remain in these offshore detention centres is steadily decreasing as they are being resettled in 3rd countries.

At the same time the Australian govt has dramatically increased the intake of documented & pre-screened genuine refugees as a result of being able to reassert their border protection and control - which has taken the wind out of the sails of the noisy hysterical Leftist 'compassionistas". So the net effect of regaining control of your borders is no dead bodies at sea and all the benefits that come from being able to maintain law and order during times of international chaos.

Donald Trump seems very well aware of the security pitfalls of having your country's borders ransacked and I eagerly await to hear what he will do about it after 20 Jan.

"Merry Christmas and a very, very, very, very Happy New Year to everyone!"

[Simon Dog]

Some of the victims are persons brought here as minors who had no choice and are paying the price.  They should be showed compassion.

The persons who came as adults, and brought minors with them, are criminals (as in "persons who break the law").   A basic premise of "rule of law" is that the penalty must more than negate the benefit of breaking the law (for example, if someone steals $5000 from a bank you don't fine them $1000 and let them keep the stolen loot).  All proposals with a path to citizenship for persons who CHOSE to break the law are fraught with the moral peril of a penalty less than the benefit derived from committing the crime.  Such proposals will only make progress when there is a "D" majority as the perception is that these are future "D" voters, not "R"s.

Quote from People Magazine in 1998.  Shows how much The Orange One loves his people
:

If I were to run, I'd run as a Republican.  They're the dumbest group of voters in the country.  They love anything on Fox News.  I could lie and they'd still eat it up.  I bet my numbers would  be terrific.   Donald J. Trump

I am sick over the election of Trump and believe he will turn our country into a compassion-less business that will harm those who most need help (say like CKD patients). However, I believe lies are helpful to no one and, much to my dismay, the Trump quote regarding running as a Republican, supposedly from People magazine, is fake news. http://www.cnn.com/2016/11/10/politics/trump-quote-facebook-trnd/

"THE ORANGE ONE"  You are so racist!!!

[cassandra]

Dear Rerun, being orange is not a race (well I've not heard of it anyway) therefore not rascist.

[Athena]

I must be colour-blind - I mainly see him as BLONDE haired. If he has ever looked orange, I have always assumed it's due to particular lighting issues.

But either way being of both Scottish & German heritage does mean that being ORANGE is a racial/ethnic characteristic. Scottish people are renowned for their russet, red, orange hair colouring.

My Neph is one such person & I wouldn't dream of calling him the ORANGE doctor!

I've always thought the orange relates to skin color not hair color, but I could be wrong.  In many lighting situations his face looks orange, here are some google photos

I had always assumed that Trump used either a tanning bed or a spray-on self tanner.  Notice the white circles around his eyes; that's where the protective glasses go.

For all his money his color is BIG and GREAT but quite odd.

It could be a very toxic make-up dye, where it says: avoid eye area? Maybe tweet and ask?

Interesting ... but ... would that be wise ?

If he does use a tanning lotion, it must be to counteract the harsh studio lighting. All people in the public eye need makeup for this purpose & he obviously didn't want to start looking old and washed up like Bernie Sanders, for example. I hope he tones it down for the inauguration ceremony!

Back to Trump quotes:

"I will build a great wall – and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me – and I’ll build them very inexpensively. I will build a great, great wall on our southern border, and I will make Mexico pay for that wall. Mark my words."

Hmmmm.
