The Mike Pompeo plan in Afghanistan would have kept assets in country to help balance the reality of the Taliban winning the war, which they did, something they could not have done without the will of their own people. The Soviets learned that lesson, as we should have in Vietnam. "Remain in Mexico" did have issues, Mexico did not handle them well. When you say "asylum seekers" we may have a different definition. Is Mexico a place of danger? Are there any safe places other than Canada and the United States in the Western Hemisphere? Does that mean you would be open to taking the almost half a billion people in those regions in? As far-fetched a question as that is, we need to start the conversation there. Why is Argentina, Venezuela, Chile, Columbia, Ecuador, Panama, not safe? Guatemala and Nicaragua are failed states, no question, but the others mostly suffering economic conditions. Perhaps we are guilty of social justice crimes like colonialism and "manifest destiny" so should just open the borders wide and take our justice? Trump is from Queens, NY. His character is a cultural norm in some parts of that city, and recognizable to those familiar with it. He's also a Real Estate Developer. Although I'm California born and raised, I work in that industry directly with C-Suite execs who lend and build in the 5 Boroughs of NYC. That's how they roll; they are wanna be cowboys always pushing the edges of legality. He's not unique in that way. Lastly, my vote is less for Trump and more against the DNC and Nancy Pelosi. I'm not alone in that motivation this cycle. She disturbs me more than Trump, so does Obama, who said crap things about Trump in 2011 that motivated Trump to run.
