Discuss immigration

I will not be voting for any Democrat or for Donald Trump, if by some Twilight Zone occurrence he becomes the Republican nominee. However, the latest controversy and criticism of Trump because of the Jorge Ramos incident is undeserved.

Ramos tried to hijack the illegal-immigrant debate by ignoring the illegal part of it. He abused the discussion by using the narrative that the issue is about immigration and charging that those who are opposed are racists.

I would hope that at some point this issue would be treated more honestly.

Those who believe independent nations don’t have a right to control their borders or deport those sneaking in without permission or overstaying their permission should just come forward and say it rather than using deceptive narratives on the rights of immigration, which could be a separate debate.
