    Anti-immigrant rhetoric

    Are you going to answer the question or just keep on making irrelevant comments?

    Anti-immigrant rhetoric

    Meaning what? Some people became police officers, therefore anti-immigration politicians didn’t exist? If you want to find out about basic history, there are plenty of ways to do that. What does your vague notion have to do with the OP, that’s the question; back to the point, what do you think...

    Why Does God Allow Suffering?

    God doesn't exist / suffering happens. Sometimes you can find an explanation - a reason - a lot of the time there is none. 'Violence is the arbiter of reality' as Nicolás Gómez Dávila put it. Science has done a fair bit to reduce human suffering, though, it could be argued.

    Anti-immigrant rhetoric

    And what purpose does his 'sub-human' and so on rhetoric serve? Who benefits from it?

    Anti-immigrant rhetoric

    No, there's a lot more to it than that, as you could easily find out. As one example, what would you have thought if, when you were at school, some old guy regularly turned up in the girl's changing rooms to ogle the teenage girls as they got undressed. You'd consider that perfectly normal...

    Anti-immigrant rhetoric

    The video is of Trump speaking. If you are that brainwashed, you really should read news you don't like, for your own sake.

    Anti-immigrant rhetoric

    You can find transcripts of Trump's speeches here: Donald Trump Southern Border Arizona Cochise | Rev Your claim doesn't really stack up. There have been occasions, as in the videos you linked to, when Trump is speaking about specific incidences of brutal crimes committed by illegal immigrants...

    Anti-immigrant rhetoric

    Who do you think he is referring to here? I can't see any indication that he's referring specifically to people known to be criminals. He makes sweeping statements, without evidence, that 'we know' that 'they' are coming from mental institutions, prisons (etc.), and that they are 'poisoning the...

    A reliable conservative

    I like the WSJ, some pretty diverse reporting and some really good in-depth pieces. But I think of it more slightly right of centre than what passes for conservative in the US.

    Anti-immigrant rhetoric

    There's nothing new about mass immigration, it's more of a media frenzy than anything real. As one example, far more people have been killed or otherwise harmed by domestic terrorists and corporate crime in the US - way, way more - but that barely features in the news. Immigration offers...

    Anti-immigrant rhetoric

    Some people of every kind are. Trump himself is a sex offender; he referred to people accused of crimes, apparently, as not human. He has been accused of numerous crimes. It doesn't add up. As far as I can see, on some occasions he refers to individuals who, like him, have been accused rape and...

    Anti-immigrant rhetoric

    Yes, like those. So, in your view, when Trump uses terms like animals, murderers, rapists, sub-human and so on, he is exclusively referring to those few people mentioned in those videos, or other people with actual convictions for violent crimes?

    Anti-immigrant rhetoric

    I really have no idea what you mean. Some other = another. The same meaning. Some other country / another country, as per the OP, some other country than Italy/Ireland. Just pointing out that if you have an alternative meaning for 'some other' that isn't something I can answer to. What exactly...

    Anti-immigrant rhetoric

    Please provide some examples of Trump referring to specific incidents and specifically illegal immigrants, rather than general insults directed at large numbers of people approaching the border, who could not in any sense be considered illegal, not having attempted to cross yet, the majority of...

    Anti-immigrant rhetoric

    Nope, the language is the same. Read the OP again.

    Anti-immigrant rhetoric

    You’ve invented some scenario in your mind, I can’t answer to that. As I said, I think the rhetoric is the same. I would like to find out what other people think, in order to know what other people think. It may be that there is some circumstance or issue I’m not aware of that has some...

    Anti-immigrant rhetoric

    Some other has the same meaning as any other. E.g I don’t feel like going for a run, I’ll go some other day, or ‘when will you (fulfil some plan)’ ‘some day’, same use of some to mean another time. Some other place is any other place that the two mentioned.

    Anti-immigrant rhetoric

    Read the OP again, the question is about the rhetoric used. What’s the basis for your claim that Trump is only referring to illegal immigration, other than that just being your general feeling? The context of his various comments doesn’t point to any distinction, but rather is directed at...

    Anti-immigrant rhetoric

    Back to the first question, as your answer is to some other question that isn’t in the OP.

    Anti-immigrant rhetoric

    Do you mean different contextually, but the same attitude, or something else?
