Trump is trying to cut $1.3 bil from the Coast Guard budget.
Hmm.. how can you say you're tough on border security and then cut resources from the Coast Guard? The Coast Guard is facing $1.3 billion in cuts in the Trump administration's fiscal 2018 budget guidance, a move that will "severely undermine U.S. national security," according to one GOP lawmaker. Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., sent a letter to President Trump on Thursday to say that the cut to the Coast Guard "egregiously conflicts with your stated goal to strengthen national security. "These proposed cuts, should they proceed, will guarantee negative consequences," Hunter wrote. "Undoubtedly, America would be less safe based on the suggested recommendations of career bureaucrats positioned within OMB." http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/tru ... ast-guard/article/2616285

I read your post just fine. And telling me to re-read your post does not counter my point at all. If you can counter my point, feel free to do so. But you know Trump's policy is not being effective. 1. If visa holders/green card holders need to be investigated, that should happen regardless of travel. They shouldn't wait until they fly back. 2. If Trump wanted to be effective in stopping terrorists from flying into the country, he would put Saudi Arabia on the list.

Why would they need additional screening if they travel? They already have a green card. If their behavior/background requires additional investigation, that should happen regardless of travel. Quote:
Saudi Arabia is a business ally but they are absolutely not an ally when it comes to terrorism. So Trump wants to ban travel from certain countries to make us safer but won't limit the country that sent 15 of 19 suicide bombers on 9/11? It doesn't make sense and you know it. Does Trump want to be effective or not?

Your point is too simplistic without context. Does the US have the strongest economy? Yes but it still only makes up 25% of the total economy. And it clearly engages in lots of multi-national trade. So it can't entirely push people around without negative consequences to itself. Furthermore, it's clear that trade wars hurt both countries. So if the US wants to hurt Mexico, it can do so, but it will hurt itself as well. Even though the US will be impacted less in a than Mexico in a trade war, it doesn't change the fact that the US will still be worse off.

There are some jobs Americans won't take. I have several garden centers as clients in NJ and they've always had open job postings for manual laborers (loading trucks, moving inventory, and watering plants). They'd love to fill these roles with Americans who are culturally similar and have superior English skills but Americans don't even apply for these jobs much less turn them down. Not even teenagers apply. (Probably too entitled). As for high skill jobs, America is only 5% of the population but has a healthy, growing economy. Given that, they have the growth to support hiring top talent from the 95% rest of the world. Google, Facebook, etc know what they are doing as it relates to recruiting. If it made sense to only hire Americans, they would do it. But clearly that's foolish. Not every American is highly skilled and lots of the remaining 95% of the world's populations are.

Regarding Trump's travel ban, how is it effective to ban visa or green card holders? They went through the process legally.
Also, why was Saudi Arabia not on the list? Clearly, Saudi Arabia supports terrorism so if you're going to have a travel ban, they should be #1. I wonder if Trump's business deals in Saudi Arabia kept them off the list? Does Trump want to be effective or not?

The benefit to the US depends on who the immigrant is. If the immigrant is talented and productive, then clearly their presence benefits the US. Ask Google about bringing in foreign talent, they know a little about HR. Or ask a low margin small business owner who needs low skill manual laborers (ie jobs that the typical American won't do).

Trump's tax and spend, protectionist policies will actually hurt the US working class in the long run.
1. Protectionist policies make imports more expensive, driving more industry to the US in the short term 2. Increased US manufacturing leads to higher overall prices for products 3. Consumers balk at high prices and spend less 4. US businesses react by investing in more automation in the long run to lower prices 5. At the same time, Mexico's economy will also take a hit from the tariffs 6. Even more Mexicans will be incentivized to go to the US than before

The logic of building a very expensive wall to curtail illegal immigration is not very thoughtful or logical. Mexicans carve out underground tunnels now, what's the stop them from building more?

Adding a substantial tariff is a lose-lose for both Mexico and the US. Not only does the US have to pay for the wall outright, but its citizens will also have to pay more for Mexican imports. And if the tariff means we buy less Mexican imports, it means our respective markets are even less competitive and Americans will pay higher prices overall. Very unfair. As for Mexico, it remains to be seen if they will compromise. Politically, it may be difficult for them to compromise given that it's a hot button topic, even if it hurts them economically. Trump's logic is pretty silly as well. If the US wants a wall, they should pay for it. If I build a fence in my yard, I don't ask my neighbor for a handout. And since we can assume that our neighbors have basic pride and dignity, it will be difficult to convince them otherwise. Also, trade surpluses and trade deficits appear much more ominous than they actually are. My employer pays me cash for my services, therefore, my employer had a trade deficit with me. Is that actually a problem? Or just word games?
