Look, shit in someone else's yard, I don't care.

Shit in my yard, I care a lot about that. There is nothing hypocritical about expecting your country to look out for your interests, while other countries can look out for the interests of their own citizens and residents.

This is nothing about "party". Bush would have never done this, neither would McCain and Romney have been so stupid if they were elected. No, this transcends republican and democrat to a new level of damaging politics unseen since the 1930s.

It is an interesting stand when you walked over to somebody else's garden and took a dump and than you say I do not care about that.

The mass immigration problem is there because of the consistent, bad, misguided, systematic intervention the US committed in the last 30 years in the middle east. Most of the immigrants this executive action is screwing over are leaving their country because of the results of US intervention.

The mass immigration "problem" started shortly after Columbus discovered the America's, and hasn't let up since. It is not of the USA's making, in fact, it made the USA.

Well, from the point of view of Trump's supporters, that's what Trump is doing - making things difficult for people who are not American citizens.

Except Obama himself did this exact same thing, and Carter.

You only care because of who's doing it.

I've addressed that in multiple comments.
