Last I checked the vast majority of illegal immigrants are hard working and honest people

The Republican governor of Massachusetts, Charlie Baker, said he wasn't surprised by the president's "incendiary words."
"At so many times during these last several weeks, when the country needed compassion and leadership the most, it simply was nowhere to be found," he said following the phone call with Trump.
"Instead, we got bitterness, combativeness and self-interest. That's not what we need in Boston, it's not what we need right now in Massachusetts," he said as his voice cracked with emotion, "and it's definitely not what we need across this great country of ours either."
"If people are running amok, you have to dominate. If you aren't dominating, you're wasting your time," Trump said. "They're going to run over you, you're going to look like a bunch of jerks."
"It's a movement. If you don't put it down, it will get worse and worse," Trump said. "The only time it's successful is when you're weak and most of you are weak."
Wrap your heads around that last comment.
It's a movement.
That implies it has purpose and meaning. That implies that he wants to stop a movement from happening. That means, he wants to continue the status quo.

Let me be clear. This is revolting. The Bible is not a prop. A church is not a photo op. Religion is not a political tool. God is not your plaything.
And the president tweets.

Yesterday was a bad day for the Cuomo Brothers. New York was lost to the looters, thugs, Radical Left, and all others forms of Lowlife & Scum. The Governor refuses to accept my offer of a dominating National Guard. NYC was ripped to pieces. Likewise, Fredo’s ratings are down 50%!
No. no divisive language there. That is uplifting and unifying.
No George. it's inflammatory, unnecessary and stupid to insult the two men in charge of that city and talk about the ratings. It's kind of messed up for the president to use an ethnically insulting term.
But as we know, you are ok with racist, sexist and homophobic insults. You are happy to have a leader that uses those slurs.
So you think most of the protesters only stand for violence? That suits you just fine.
Because you can't think that there is a bigger message regarding the need for change in the country. That thought would be too challenging to your moral fiber.
I understand. It's ok. Keep being you
Biden did not use a racial slur. He said that if a black man wasn't sure who to support, he ain't black.
Biden didn't use a derogatory term or a slur. Was that a foolish and insulting statement? Yes. And Biden apologized for that.
Trump called an Italian man "Fredo". It is a direct and intended insult.
Big difference.
But as we know. You like a president who can insult based on race or ethnicity.
I think it’s safe to say that all of the people who are rioting and destroying the cities are only standing for the violence and destruction they are causing , while at the same time drowning out and ruining the message the peaceful protestors are marching for .
