The idiot from Cosmo, Acosta, his tantrum was priceless.

Acosta's argument was laughable.  Apparently he wants an immigration policy based on a fund raising poem that is included with the Statue of Liberty.  In other words, open borders.  Btw, isn't the immigration policy of Canada primarily merit based with the exception of refugees?

Jim Acosta handed Stephen Miller's rear end on a platter. At one point Miller seemed he was about to start throwing things around.

 

Jim's questions threw Miller a curve ball, and he just about had a hissy fit on camera.

This is one desperate administration. No wonder the so-called president's ratings are the lowest ever. LOL.

Apparently you heard a different exchange than I did.  Acosta was an idiot in this dialogue trying to pin US immigration policy to a poem in a thinly veiled attempt to hide his desire for open borders.

Isn't Canada one of those socialist countries that the right despises so much? LOL.

But of course you are right.

 

 

Acosta is an idiot and he and CNN deserve each other with all their fake reporting, and fake news.

I completely agree.  I believe Feinstein has already deemed them DOA in the senate.

It just seems like such a staunch supporter of sacred borders would be the last one to emmigrate anywhere. Especially the Leftist, Socialist, letting so many of the people you express deep concern Donald Trump stops from coming to America in, Canada. While tangential, I thought it was a fair observation.

Sacred borders.. the stuff you guys convince yourself of. 

 

How about respect for another country's laws and customs? Ever heard of that one?

Right? They've been jip, lied to, and conned by the so-called president. They need something to celebrate, even if it lasts only a few days.

The language thing is one of the most stupid ideas to come out of this administration. There has never been, and there is no language requisite for anyone to become a resident in this country. Furthermore, America does not have an official language, although English can be considered its lingua franca. If we're going to go with an official language, I think the People should vote, and I for one will campaign for Targaryen or Clingon. English is the language of England, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada, among others, all of which are socialist countries, and make the language unfit for Murkha.
