Trump is a con artist. Our economy can't grow at a sustain 3-4% rate without bolstering the middle class a ton. He is against immigration, and he is anti-labor, and anti-consumer, and doesn't give a damb about inequality. We ******
All Trump is looking for is a quick economic win. Economist on both sides of he aisle see this, and they all seemed concern, well accept for Art Laffer

Not even immigrants would help achieve that kind of growth. Too many factors make it near impossible. But what this clown of a president doesn't seem to understand is that immigrants legal/illegal contribute billions of dollars to our economy. Not to mention, many of them who come to this country are professionals in fields that a good number of Americans choose not to to go into (Engineering and other stem related fields.
Just read a story today how an Iranian scientist won't be able to study and research at Harvard because of this president's legislation

I almost wonder if the 3 month period that he specified is to just to wait and see which countries will agree to build his hotels before his lifts his ban

I posted some numbers this morning. International students alone constitute 5% of the student body but they contributed $60 billion to the economy in 2015. In addition, they rent, eat, and travel with money not produced by local labor (direct injection of money into American hands).
60% of those surveyed said they wouldn't come here if Trump is elected; put it against the backdrop of an education system that is less and less affordable (and is not going to get better tuition-wise anytime soon), and I could see many institutions close, and an increase in tuition and competition for the schools that will remain open.

3-4% is achievable imo, but it is not sustainable.

Wild thing is Iraqis have fought for us for the past two decades and we repay them with a ban? THIS IS HOW YOU CREATE TERRORISTS.

This clown Trump is setting the country back 100 years with these immigration bans.

The worst part is that some bigots in America won't realize that this will not keep them safe until we have another major terrorist attack on American soil.

Most of those countries give citizenship by birthright, Jus sanguinis.Just finished talking to a Persian friend of mine who has dual citizenship between Canada and Iran and apparently dual citizens aren't gonna be allowed either...wtf is this **** man :x
Also seen this
Homeland security is being frozen out huh...
Sounds like Bannon is taking the rings and getting his Cheney on behind the scenes implenting his shock doctrine
So someone could have been born in one of those 7 countries. Moved to Canada when they were a baby, and are now denied entry into the United States.
So asinine, and so disgusting.
So you could have been born in Canada and been a Canadian citizen your whole life but you could still be a citizen of one of those 7 countries because your parents or grandparents were citizens.
This is disgusting.
Absolutely disgusting.
And we know exactly why they're doing this. It's so ******* obvious. There will be an "incident" incited by this move. But they won't blame the move. They'll say the move prevented even worse incidents.
There will be war and there will be blood. But it won't be the blood of the people responsible who will be shed.
We're ******.
We need a hero.

Sorry, let me clarify, me being anti Hillary played a role in many of our arguments. I meant that my belief that Bernie was the better candidate had some influence in my beliefs of why I thought Hillary was not good.
Anyway I'm not going to revisit the past that Rico brought up, we have a present and future to look at right now.

Another group I'm giving the side eye too is the "let's drop the identity politics" progressives.
Minorities are always gonna get ****** with first, and ****** with the hardest. If you can't openly and proudly say you're gonna protect their basic rights, then you don't deserve their support.

If it's an immigrant not from a country on the list they'll just say we didnt ban enough countries.
If it's an immigrant from a country on the list who was already here they'll say we need to keep track of all of them by any means necessary.
If it's a natural born citizen of color with muslim affiliations they'll say we need to keep track of all of them by any means necessary.
If it's a natural born citizen of color with no muslim affiliations they'll just say we're thugs.
If it's a white person they'll just say he has mental health issues.

Hope is all we have.
I feel like we're in episode 5 of star wars right now and our hand just got cut off.
