    To be clear, the Sudan has a visa lottery immigration ban but students, temporary workers etc are still allowed in the US. The idea that those types of visitors are safer than actual immigrants is absurd.

    For those who actually care about reality, the point was Trump used a woman as an example of America’s immigration success who would have been barred under his policies.

  2. Again, I need to say that you are supposed to be making your point, not mine.

    You make the point that even more restrictions should be put in place.

    Yes indeed. Even temporary visitors and workers and students from countries that are state sponsors of terrorism should be added to the list of those who are banned.

    Round and round we go. You certainly are entitled to your opinion but the current opinion of the State Department is Sudanese are safe to come to America for work and education. The suspension of the lottery participation isn’t based on security but that is neither here nor there in context of Trump naturalizing an immigrant that would not be allowed under his policies. That’s the irony. Some would call it hypocrisy.

    You want to argue Sudan is not safe for work and education visits, take it up with Pompeo. The first amendment protects your right to petition the government, go get busy.

  4. You are the one who had a problem with Trump and Sudanese immigrants being curtailed, and I do not have a problem with it.

    It would seem to me that you would be the one to be petitioning the government.

    The current situation is "no immigrants from the Sudan, a shithole terrorist country." Don't like it? Petition away.

    You're going to confuse the dumb ass he's obsessively believes that the only "real" citizens of a country have to have distant relatives in the country hundreds of years ago.

    They are using the White House as a background for their party political?

    Holy hell.

    Top Line-Pretty effective night

    the ISIS angle was strong and so was the defund the police stuff (voters definitely don’t want that)

    Those are two strong arguments Trump can build his campaign around.

    The Covid stuff is a weakness - there isn’t any real effective counter to the facts for Trump.

    The “Biden’s America” narrative is weak as well. Trump is basically blaming Biden for his (Trump’s) presidency. Is the argument really only Donald Trump can save America from Donald Trump’s presidency? People aren’t stupid, that’s not going to work.
