Kid you not....I actually had this conversation with a "friend of a friend" who just plopped down at our table at brick house last nightIdiot: "I find it weird that Trump wants to deport all the Mexicans when his wife is an immigrant"Me: "His wife is here legally. He does not want to deport anyone who is here legally"Idiot: "Like his wife is here legally?"Me: "Yes, his wife is here legally. Millions of Mexicans, Irish, Canadians, Cambodians, Italians, and people from Timbuktu are here legally, and there are also millions of Mexicans, Irish, Canadians, Cambodians, Italians, and people from Timbuktu that are here illegally. Trump wants to stop illegal immigration but will not mess with anyone here legally"Idiot: "There really is no difference. It is racist to ban one race yet let another one in"Me: "Yes there is a difference. Applying for citizenship and going through the right channels is coming here legally. Jumping a fence or shimmying through a tunnel or overstaying a visa is illegal and is against the law, which would be enforced under a Trump presidency"Idiot: "Yeah, a law against Mexicans"Me: "No, whether it is a Mexican or not is irrelevant, being here illegally is the crime which should and will be enforced"Idiot: "But the waiting list from Mexico is too long. it takes years and years. Nobody is going to wait that long"Me: "So is the list from Ireland, Canada, Cambodia, Italy and Timbuktu"Idiot: "well, good thing Hillary or Bernie is going to be president. I sure would miss all my Mexican friends I grew up with"Me: Face palm, leaves table and goes and takes a shot at the bar. Praying for the future. 4951

Not discussing politics at a bar is absolutely one of my strictest rules of personal conduct.  Not going to do it, nothing good can come of it.   4951

My friends in Vancouver always found it easy to come back into the US....even after their American wife reported them and filed charges against them for false charges of domestic violence.  Deported for at least a day as I remember. 4951

@PedroDePacas: Anyone that believes that garbage probably has never watched any of his speech's.  Someone like that is more likely to believe that because 1. They already have a opinion about Republicans, 2. He is a old white guy, 3. They get all of there heavily edited details from Democrat TV, (MSNBC, CNN, Aljazeera)

@Metro07: Sounds like you have it all figured out, which is good because it leaves you some free time to work on that grammar.

@PedroDePacas: you might be right about most of your startements but "idiot" is right about the "list" for Mexico (and China and India) being longer. It does not really affect your argument per se bit idiot gets one point
