    Were Trump’s parents illegal aliens?

    Cool! It is pure evil to propose stripping them of their citizenship and sending the Americanized children of immigrants back to a country they may have never seen.

    Imagine what the Americas would be like if the Europeans had been kicked out as soon as they showed up. The ecosystems would certainly be in much better shape. Oh, and I’d be speaking…. French, I think.

    Then I guess they’ll both have to be deported…I wonder who’ll turn off the lights, when we’re all back “where we came from”?

    The point here OF COURSE is that only the Americas’ original peoples are not immigrants. The first Trump in the U.S. made the original Trump fortune by building and owning full service (i.e. including prostitutes) inns for gold miners according to multiple sources. As to two later generations and parts of their wealth, inherited and not, you will find searches on the termTrump slumlord NYCto be useful, as well as analyses of the four Trump business bankruptcies in recent years, with one only 6 years ago, in which he sheilded himself from personal losses. See contractor and employee losses as well as tax revenue losses, and see especially that he had little to nothing to do with any that bounced back because in each of the four he was required to surrender his controlling stock position.What you are referring to are the various applications through the centuries of jus soli:<http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2015/08/18/432707866/3-things-you-should-know-about-birthright-citizenship?utm_source=npr_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_content=20150823&utm_campaign=mostemailed&utm_term=nprnews>

    Why? Do you think you have to be on meds to give a rational answer? So you probably haven’t taken yours in years.

    he seems to like to marry immigrants. Maybe all his kids and wives should be sent to their native lands…and take him with them.

    Go back far enough and it’s everyone back to northeastern Africa. How ’bout we just go back and get rid of the destructive jerks who showed up after 1491.

    You notice that since they did not control the borders the borders no longer belong to them?

    Were Donald Trump’s parents illegal? Do they have immigration papers from the original people here? And being first, the original people had the first, original claim and therefore could not be illegal.

    carlmiScraelings did a fairly good job of sending the Norse back home. It took about four centuries and gunpowder to make another attempt.

    And just for the record, do you really believe one can gain legal title just by taking it? If so, send me your address.

    Well, if it’s so vital to secure “our borders”, where’s the promise of the northern fence, to be paid for by Canada?A border’s a border.
