If reelected, Trump has pledged to finish the border wall, reinstitute travel bans and launch mass deportation efforts.

With a border deal hanging in the balance and the Iowa caucuses a month away, Donald Trump amplified his attack on immigrants at a rally in New Hampshire on Saturday.

“They’re poisoning the blood of our country,” the former president said. “They’ve poisoned mental institutions and prisons all over the world. Not just in South America, not just the three or four countries that we think about, but all over the world they’re coming into our country from Africa, from Asia.”

While in the White House, Trump sought to deter immigration by building a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border, building some 450 miles of fencing along the nearly 2,000-mile border, much of which replaced existing barriers. In addition to strict border security measures, his administration also implemented a travel ban for people from several predominantly Muslim countries.

      Lol, I’m not sure what part you’re debating here. Arab/Muslim culture is very hierarchal and generally not pro LGBT. I’ve lived in Muslim countries long enough to understand those two things. Those are the only 2 “assumptions” I’ve made, everything else applies generally to a hierarchical (or socialy conservative) mindset.

      If you want to debate those two facts feel free, I’d love to hear that there has been enough positive change in the last decade that most Arab countries are no longer hierarchal/patriarchal or have come around on LGBT rights.

      Let me know, I’d love to see the studies!
