Trump fans: Respond to Khizr Kahn, muslim father who lost his son in Iraq, DEVASTATES Trump at DNC

I didn't watch the speech, nor did I watch Trumps.

But can you tell me in our constitution it says we can't limit immigration.?

You are aware from 1924-1965 we had hardly any immigration at all. Just 175,000 per year. And the policy specifically favored people from Northern and Western Europe.

It blows my mind that people think a country can decide who and who can't live in it. My friend recently had a baby in China. The baby most definitely is not a Chinese citizen.

I think Trump's comments about Mexicans were deplorable but I do think his idea of wanting to have an immigration policy that makes sense (not rewarding those who come here illegally) is a sound one.

Khizr Khan lost his son, Capt. Humayun Khan of the Army, to the war in Iraq more than a decade ago. Last night he got on stage and DEVASTATED Donald Trump.

His Muslim son saved the lives of US troops in Iraq, but he never would have been allowed in the country if Donald Trump had any say. He had people in tears. Most powerful speech of the past two weeks.

Khan looked Trump in the eye and said, "You have sacrificed nothing, and no one."

Khan didn't look anyone in the eye. He read a script prepared for him by a US hating, non-Christian, non-Muslim writer, truth be told.

Who cares? The un-PC truth is that most Muslims despise non-Muslims. Period. This jackalope, who shouldn't even be in America, had a son who was in the minority. The US is being destroyed by rampant, unfettered immigration from third world nations - by design.

Wake up cucks.

You are an idiot and are terribly misinformed. Please go educate yourself before attempting to make political arguments. Perfect example of the ignorance and bigotry of trump supporters.

Khizr Kahn is from Pakistan. Trump's immigration/travel ban would certainly apply to Pakistan.

Banning outsiders that are not citizens of the US from entering the US...on any grounds whatsoever...does not violate the constitution. The constitution does not apply to the citizens of other nations.

Except......quite a few legal scholars/experts on constitutional law disagree with you:

Even John Yoo, arch-conservative Bush torture adviser/supporter stated:

"If a Trump administration cut off immigration from certain countries, rather than certain religions, it would not violate the Constitution,” said John Yoo, a law professor at the University of California Berkeley and former Justice Department official who advised the George W. Bush administration on interrogation methods used on terrorism suspects.

But....I am sure you know better. Next time do your homework before spouting off and blindly following Herr Trump

The bottom line is that we do not have the resources to support the tidal wave of illegal immigrants rolling in. It is not a right to come to the USA. Stricter screening should happen, or in 10 years, a 25 minute commute will be 1 hour and 25 minutes. Its only going to get worse. Hillary supports a 550% increase in immigration.

I thank all veterans who served from 1945 and earlier for protecting my freedom even though I was born 15 years later.

What all the U.S. wars have been about since then are a different story.

Didn't read the thread. Don't care. There is literally not one single thing trump could do or say, outside of committing a violent crime against someone I know personally(if he does so against a random person it sucks but won't make me not vote for him), that would make me vote for Hillary Clinton as president.

Maybe you should watch it. It's about 10 minutes long, probably shorter than it's taken you to post on this thread, and I agree with the earlier poster that it's probably the most powerful speech we've seen in the last two weeks. It has absolutely nothing to do with Obama's brother or Obama (the kid died in Iraq during GWB's term). The parents were rightfully declaring they are as 'American' as silver spoon Donald Trump and have sacrificed more to this country than he has. I'll go out on a limb and say they've sacrificed more than any of us American born message board warriors posting from air conditioned offices.

In fact, all of us on this thread who were lucky enough to have never served should watch it again. Anyone dismissing what that family gave up and the 'American-ness' of immigrant families is hopefully trolling. It doesn't matter what side you are on because service in the military isn't a partisan issue, it's downright disrespectful to dump on anyone who went to battle to carry out political whims of officials we elected.

By the way, there was an earlier thread this week about Obama's brother endorsing Trump. In an article linked in that thread, the brother stated Gaddafi was one of his best friends.

You mean like Don Henry and Kevin Ives? Do you realize that they were just kids and that they were murdered? Do you realize who is linked to their murders in addition to 17 or more other people, some who were going to testify the next day!!!!! Get a clue dude and stop being a casual observer! We are talking murder here, multiple murders. Google it, as it's factual, each and every one. How about the Clinton Foundation? Google it and open your eyes!

Many more people die for their country in automobile accidents. And a good number of them are of the Islamic faith.

The guy is angry at the wrong guy.... He should vent his frustration at the person responsible for his son's death....George "War Criminal" Bush.

The poor kid, along with THOUSANDS of others, died searching for those elusive WMDs, which as it turns out.....never existed.

When the leader of the alleged free world takes war advice from an imaginary man in the sky, it never ends well....

The morans on this thread have completely missed the most obvious thing: by not condemning radical islam and islamic terrorism even once, Khan, a muslim played right into Trump's narrative. Think about it for a moment--his own son was killed because of militant muslims, and who does the dad strike out at??? The one candidate who will do everything in his power to defeat radical islam and keep it out of the country.

^This. Anyone who enters this debate and refuses to acknowledge the problems in Islam is intentionally ignoring the primary cause of all the pain.

Yes because I'm sure your intimate knowledge of the Muslim faith comes from fox news and trump.;

No person wants to be ruled by foreigners. The Cave Man didn't either. Muslims in Jerusalem, Afghanistan, Palestine, etc. are just like us and want to determine their own destiny.

you say, "his own brother," but that is a half-brother born in Kenya who never lived with him.

Trump flip-flops to whatever his Russian oligarch money-lenders want. He's so deep in with Russian mafia money he can't even tell the truth about it. Make America Russia Again!

Wow. Standing reality on its head.

Putin is consistently smeared by the US media and govt because he took back for Russia much of the wealth the Oligarchs stole. And let's be clear. All the Russian Oligarchs are Jewish.

Now Hillary and the rest of them, save Trump, dance to the tune of the American Jewish Oligarchs.

Islam is found through a Dr. Bill Warner who studied it to be 91% not peaceful and 9% peaceful.

Also go watch the movies "Hillary's America" and "Clinton Cash" and all the videos that tell you the truth about them. Read some of the WikiLeaks emails about Clinton.

The Democrat Party is the party of many bad things like the KKK, enslavement, not supporting civil rights, Indian Removal like the Trail of Tears of which I am a descendent from those peoples and many more things.

So what? He states he was for the invasion. He could just as easily have said he didn't support it.

Later when things didn't go so well, he changes his mind and is against it.

He's a flip flopper. Was for the invasion before he was against it.

He flip flops on everything.

He didn't change his mind or flip flop. He said he was for going in and having a certain type of attack. The US didn't use that attack and THAT is what he is against. The problem here is your reading comprehension not him flipflopping.

He does not flipflop on everything. People just have really bad reading and listening comprehension.

Huma huma huma huma chameleon.

You are joking? Trump has "an immigration policy that makes sense?" Don't make me laugh. A war on a religion and a nationality -- Muslims and Mexicans -- isn't even a policy. It's simple racism -- defined as a negative and sweeping generalisation about a national, religious or perceived ethnic group.

We do not 'reward' illegal immigrants. Far from being 'rewarded' they are subjugated and ignored, despite many of them paying taxes, and their low-wage labour having always been the foundation of the American economy.

Most of our forefathers came from overseas, sometimes through official channels, sometimes not. Shutting the door behind us will only hasten the prolonged destruction of the economy.

Trump's supposed 'policy' is nothing but the foul lashing-out of a chimp, designed to prey on the worst prejudices. You, in condoning such racism, are complicit. Please retract your statement.
