    Yeah, though it’s interesting that it’s the first I’ve ever heard of President Arthur, we have 21st century technology to put in 19th century xenophobic policy. If the feds help kick out all immigrants from red states while blue states shelter them, it’s the red states that are going to suffer the most.

    Even pre-election, the impact of the Springfield, OH rhetoric Trump was peddling at the debate towards Haitian immigrants was profound. The governor and mayor were like, “I love you daddy Trump but we called those immigrants over because our town was in decline!”

        I have a friend in the Philippines who is just about done with nursing school. She really still wants to come to the USA. We are thinking along some of the same lines - if we combine our incomes, we could save enough to retire to the Philippines or somewhere else not the USA in a short amount of time.

        I was born and raised in the US but I feel no loyalty to it at all.

        Umm… ummm… ummm… I’m sure RFK Jr will do everything to fix healthcare and all of Trump’s concepts are going to make it all better!
