| Mr Puggsly said: Heh, so you think illegals fearing republicans is just media spin? Okay, think what you want. A lot of Mexican people love Reagan solely for amnesty, but its not a reflection of how illegals feel about the republican party. Now if Trump pulled amnesty after accomplishing some goals like putting up a wall and going after sanctuary cities, that could change how hispanic communities feel about him. I gave Obama credit, I said it was an accomplishment. But what Obama did is merely a step in the right direction, he hasn't made the efforts I want and MAYBE Trump will execute on that. Atleast he says he will. For me to be happy and give credit to Trump, he needs to be much better than Obama at creating jobs and reducing the illegal immigration problem. If he fails at that, then he may be just another mediocre president. You left wingers have already reached a verdict on Trump, but I'm curious to see what he does. |
No, I don't think it's media spin. I think you're literally making it up. The evidence, in terms of actual policies and their effects, instead of rhetoric, shows that Republicans and illegals aren't at odds. Show me some evidence that shows that illegals "fear" Republicans (even though, as bunchanumbers pointed out, it doesn't matter what they "fear" or "want", as they have no voting power). All you've done is make assertions based on that very rhetoric (you continuously prove my point about the false narrative of Republicans that their constituency has been duped into believing), whereas I've given you proof of Republican coddling of illegals.
And, 15 million jobs have been created under Obama.
So, you have a president who has been the toughest on immigration in US history by deporting the most illegals ever and going a "step in the right direction" by taking a decades long trend and flipping it, and this same president presided over the creation of many millions of jobs.....and that's "mediocre" to you. Why are all these great things "not good enough" to you? It's like when Fox News saw a report that jobs were supposed to increase by 180,000 and the anchors said "no way! That's too much! Not in this Obama economy that's destroying jobs!", then the month passed and jobs actually increased by 271,000. Then they made light of the prediction of 180,000 new jobs and said jobs "only" grew by 271,000.
All you keep doing is raising the bar so that no matter what Obama has done, he's still "disappointing". I predict that bar will coincidentally be lowered when Trump takes office, like it was when he "saved 1000 jobs" via actually only "saving" 730 and giving the company $7 million.
