Nevertheless, Trump without some yet to be defined Constitutional Amendment requiring eloquence, has literally spoken a truth that every poster on this board subscribes to. That immigration policy is necessarily judgmental, discriminating, and based on arbitrary values.
I guess we can file this in the same genre of Trump apologetic that contended that the problem with Trump bragging about sexual assault was that he used the word "pussy."
you can guess whatever you like i suppose. But the point was that once again hearsay fuels the hair fire and regardless of the vocabulary the sentiment is one that permeates and defines every immigration policy you have or would ever support.
But please, tell us all about how you thought-up an immigration policy that is not necessarily judgmental, discriminating, and based on arbitrary values.

semi- ? who are semi-pregnants? who are semi-deads?
norway is a socialist country - more socialist than ex-warsaw-pact-countries - and you (plural...) should learn what does 'socialist' mean

Choyo Chagas is Chairman of the Big Four, the ruler of the planet from "The Bull's Hour" ( Russian: Час Быка), a social science fiction novel written by Soviet author and paleontologist Ivan Yefremov in 1968. Six months after its publication Soviet authorities banned the book and attempted to remove it from libraries and bookshops.

to be fair, your suggestion here likely creates way more bias than being there as a tourist. I do not consider a missionary's experience to be insightful for any "place" due to their rather limited and myopic exposure.

Yeah. You offered two arguments here. One is that all immigration policies are inherently discriminating and arbitrary, so criticizing someone advocating for immigration policy based on crude racism is hypocritical. I apologize if you think this is worth anyone's time to respond to.
The second was that that other people used "salty" language too, which is plainly what you identify as the problem here, so Trump is not guilty of anything that isn't normally occurring behind closed doors. It's not the swear word that is the problem here, subs.

agreed that a missionary's view probably puts the country in a worse light but I don't think a tourist view of the country is accurate either, or even an expatriate who just lived in the few wealthier areas.
