its not where you been, its who you want coming here

that's the issue

Haiti's literacy rate is 61%. They have a 20% enrollment in secondary schools (age 11-16). You want illiterate people with less than a 5th grade education coming to the USA because they won a lottery?

For reference, the average literacy rate for Latin American and Caribbean countries is 90%.

Any clue to the history of Haiti?

Irrelevant.

(CNN Money) — The U.S. Treasury and the IRS on Thursday put out new guidance and withholding tables for employers that incorporate changes from the new tax law.

Under those new tables, the Treasury estimates that 90% of people who get a paycheck are likely to see more in take-home pay, as soon as February. Employers will have until Feb. 15 to incorporate the changes in their payroll systems.

A former Steelworkers union leader has blasted Donald Trump as a “con man,” an “idiot” and a “liar” as Indianapolis air-conditioning and furnace company Carrier Corp. laid off 215 more workers Thursday. The company has sent a third of its jobs to Mexico since Trump boasted a year ago about a $7 million state tax incentive deal for the company to keep jobs in the U.S.

“I think everybody ought to respect the president of the United States and the office he holds. But Donald Trump is a liar and an idiot,” Chuck Jones, former president of United Steelworkers 1999, said at an Indianapolis town hall meeting on Wednesday that was streamed live on Facebook.

“When he was saying these jobs would not be leaving this country, not at any point in time did he say, ‘I’m bringing back my jobs I’ve got outside the country. I’m going to bring back my daughter’s jobs,’” added Jones, referring to overseas manufacturing for Trump and Ivanka Trump products. “He’s a pure and simple con man ... and I’m sorry people bought into his message. He sold us a bag of ****, and now we’re stuck with it,” Jones added, The New Yorker reported.

Oh my! 1 angry person!


The United States has added 138,000 manufacturing jobs so far this year under Trump, far better than the 34,000 factory jobs lost over the same period last year under Obama.

What does this matter? It is unbecoming of the president to call another country a shithole. I don't care if the country has 0% of people who can read.

Trump is a loser who is self-absorbed. I don't think anyone who cheats his workers should be talking down to anyone else. I have tried to give him an honest chance, but I can't get behind this guy. If the best we can offer is him and HRC our country is screwed.

I have clearly misjudged you. I apologize for any negative comments I may have made

Lol. We have our own shitholes to clean up, like Englewood and Washington Park in Chicago. Why import more trash?

And Gary Indiana is a shithole, no doubt about it.
