    You're missing the point.

    It's nothing to do with border control.

    Trump has tried to exclude people that already live there legally, and work there, and pay into the system there.

    You're an intelligent man. You know this. Therefore I can not understand why you would gloss over this point. Unless you believe that legal residents should be kicked out just because they have connections with another country?

        I was under the impression that a judge had ruled that part temporally unlawful and today the travel ban is lifted?
        There will always be checks to what Trump wants to do.

        Mussolini was elected to the Italian Parliament in 1921, clueless. Mussolini was a Fascist long before Hitler became present and used tactics of intimidation and even trying to attempted a Coup of the Government......the same tactics that Hitler used later in the 30's.
        The Italian election system then meant that the Party with the largest share of votes would get two thirds of the seats in the Parliament if they also received over 25% of the vote. The Fascists were actually two Parties, the Conservatives and the Liberals. So in the Italian General Election of 1924 they won over 25% and the majority of the votes which brought Mussolini into power and there then wasn't another General Election until 1946.

          You're right, Pete. Trump quickly launched an appeal against the Federal Judge's overturning of the ban, but the Supreme Court has just turned the appeal down.:coffee::snorky:

            Yes. And Trump has pledged to fight it and get the travel ban reinstated as soon as he can.

            He has many thousands of unquestioning moronic rednecks behind him.

            There are also many thousands of normal Americans that try to make him understand where he's going wrong, but nobody listens to them. It seems to me, with nothing to go on except the news, that the voice of reason is always ignored in the US.

            Surely the average American can't be happy knowing their leader has to be constantly pulled in line by the courts.

              OK so everyone that agrees with Trump is a moronic redneck?

              Those that dont are normal Americans?

              I tend to think those that follow trump tend to be mostly those that are fed up with the status quo, which has not worked for them in many years.
              The "normal" ones you mention are those that have been doing quite nicely thankyou, and sod the rednecks.

                I didn't say that. But as you've said it, yes, probably, it seems to fit with what I've seen in the media and Trump's official Facebook posts and their responses.

                So yes, while it was you, and not I that said it, I'm happy to agree with you on that one.

                    I don't think that Trump will allow people to sit on the fence. He'll just build it higher. :heehee:

                      It did have a question mark after it Clue;), it was a question rather than a statement, based on your post.

                      I do think you are spending too much time on facebook.:smile:

                        Actually, that thought never occurred to me, redstar. As far as I am concerned all the Americans I have met have been honest, hard working people. What I was pointing out that there is a large number of Americans who think they can, in the majority, find a better living and career abroad, just like a lot a immigrants think they can find a better living and career in the USA:dunno::snorky:

                          You're probably right. I can get all the short-sighted, narrow minded, prejudiced misinformation I need all in one convenient place, right here on GC.

                            Hi Pete,

                            We DO have a land border with Europe, in fact we have two.......

                            Gibralter and Ireland.

                            Now, the problem as I see it is at the moment we have an open border with Ireland and after the exit from Europe the Government have promised to keep that border open.

                            How is that going to work....... People will just walk down a street/road from Europe into the UK.
