Thread: Colin Powell slams Donald Trump's immigration plan

You know I always liked Colin Powell, but then he lied at the UN about the aluminum rods claiming they were evidence of WMD in Iraq as a justification to go to War, and I've not cared much for his opinion on anything since.

And then of course there's this:

“Are you kidding me?” he continued. “These are first-generation American immigrants who will raise children who will go up to higher things. They’re not mopping floors and waiting tables so their children can do the same. It’s that immigrant tradition — get started and the next generation will be better, and the generation after that will be even better.”

This so disturbs me. What about the 4th and 5th generation Americans who are still mopping the floors and waiting the tables or can't find any work at all because illegal aliens stole even that job from them, Colin? What about them? Why would you take such a ludicrous position?

Well, a little research tells why.

Powell was born on April 5, 1937,[7] in Harlem, a neighborhood in the New York City borough of Manhattan, to Jamaican immigrant parents Maud Arial (née McKoy) and Luther Theophilus Powell.

He's talking about himself, he's defending himself.

Well, Colin, if you want to hang your hat and policies on your immigrant parents, if you want to sell out Americans struggling to survive to illegal aliens bankrupting our nation simply because you're the son of immigrants, then that pretty much explains the selfish ambition that allowed you to lie to the United Nations, to lie to the American People, and through that lie mislead Americans to believe Iraq had WMD's when they didn't, rallying false support for an invasion of Iraq that has cost millions of people their lives, homes, stability and peace in the world.

Selfish Ambition. That is Colin Powell. That is Marco Rubio. That is Carly Fiorina. That is Jeb Bush. That is Hillary Clinton. That is everyone except Donald Trump. Donald Trump won't sell us out for a job, a better job, a nicer house, money, donors, or even votes.

He won't. Frankly, I've never understood why Colin Powell and GW Bush weren't sent to jail for lying about WMD's in Iraq. They manufactured that whole story. I mean my family, we're pretty smart about some things like tubes and rods, and we're all looking at each other during that speech Colin gave at the UN telling each other those are extrusion roods used in thousands of applications, so how is that evidence of WMD's in Irasq??!!

Clearly, it wasn't evidence of WMD's in Iraq. It was evidence of an intentional fraud to convince Americans to go to War.
