        While true, we also have to stop arguing that Trump is wrong because of how much immigrants contribute to the US. We shouldn't judge people worthy because of their future productivity. We welcome them because we are a haven to downtrodden even if they come from a shithole.

        You are dead right. Once again he has changed the conversation to others having to prove he said it, instead of how awful it is that he said it.

        I think that’s mostly been the case. The “dirty words” issue a straw man put up by Trump’s defenders
