The way he's speaking make me EXTREMELY uncomfortable, like every cultist leader in every horror movie ever.

Get him out. Drop him like Billboard dropped Bionic.

They're not emigrates by choice but they are immigrants by choice...because they tend to choose where they flee to...right? :sweat: 

OT: This is a man that said Obamacare is the worst thing to happen to this country since slavery. Obviously he's a damn fool and should be ignored :nails:

Is he for real? Does he even know what slavery means? Does he know what treatment slaves went through?

I'm disgusted.

emm... I think you might have missunderstood me?! What I meant to say is the you can call people who FLEE their coutry (or whatever) immigrants because they ARE NOT volunterily leaving. They want to stay where they at, they have good lifes out of western society as well & the person I quoted sounded ignorent to me, thinking everybody love the US (when most of us don't -.-')

so I was curious as to what word that person would also think we should call people who flee their country?!

and I think En_Sabah_Nur is right with saying refugees (because they need protection now, not forever& they also don't want it, they want support in their crisis and to fix it!

Obama said something similar to him. You guys are hypocrites, making fun of Ben Carson when Obama did something similar.

I remember Obama referred to slaves as immigrants and it was one of the dumbest things he's said.

I don't remember exactly, this is just from the top of my head. He referred to them as immigrants but don't quote me. I just remember I didn't agree with how he worded what he was saying lol.

"And perhaps, like some of you, these new arrivals might have had some moments of doubt, wondering if they had made a mistake in leaving everything and everyone they ever knew behind.  So life in America was not always easy.  It wasn’t always easy for new immigrants.  Certainly it wasn’t easy for those of African heritage who had not come here voluntarily, and yet in their own way were immigrants themselves.  There was discrimination and hardship and poverty.  But, like you, they no doubt found inspiration in all those who had come before them.  And they were able to muster faith that, here in America, they might build a better life and give their children something more."

yikes :air:

Ben Carson is just like Trump. Complete idiots. Are they both well trained in business and neuroscience, respectively? Sure. So let's go back to that...

Honestly, Ben is so incompetent..

Yeah :rip:

They were NOT in their own way immigrants themselves.

They were sold like animals, many died on the way here. Many thrown overboard into the ocean. Then stripped of their culture and beaten into submission.
