When it comes to immigrants and refugees, trump is using scare tactics to rile his base.
He want to deport all of the illegals. That worked out really well for Alabama

Net immigration from Mexico is pretty much zero, so that's a moot point in many cases. In the meantime, there's crops to be picked and drywall to be hung.
Add in the fact that there's an aging population in the States and new bodies are needed to work, pay taxes and pay into social security. If that means starting a process to make people who have worked here illegally gain a legal tax paying status, then it should be done. Deporting them all (and you know the government will fuck that up too) will cause havoc, cost money and not solve any real problem.
Immigrants are also less likely to commit violent crime, but we should kick them all out just in case, right?
Refugees are vetted and flee some of the most horrible places on earth. To block them from entering the country like trump is planning is just immoral.
The bottom line is that trump runs his mouth off, gets the mob angry and the sideshow snowballs. Aside from the verbal errors, slips of the tongue and other minor communication fuckups, trump's attitude and 'policies' are designed to do one thing: capitalize on fear and hate.
"They're rapists" - oh he must have misspoke.
"We should stop all Muslims from entering the country until we know what's going on" - oh, I guess he was just generalizing.
It really doesn't matter what the fuck this idiot says while he's campaigning - he'll pull the same shit if he's president and then it will have actual consequences. But hey - support him, if he wins the CDN $ can only go up.
