I believe all illegal immigrants should be sent home, no questions. I then quantified that statement by pointing out I had zero issue with legal immigration as of course most Australians are no more than 2nd or 3rd generation themselves.
I gave the analogy, imagine you had a neighbour that periodically jumped your fence and stole a bunch of your nectarines. Regardless of their race or religion it would piss you off. The left arguement is "hey man you have tonnes of nectarines, why can't people just take them?"
My response is, if they came and knocked on my door and politely asked for some, I would give them a bucketful. It's not racism to want to control who enters your yard .
Go Donny, hope you're successful.

Its a repudiation of the leftist policies, open borders, export of industries and the offensive foreign military policies that have taken them AS WELL as us....to fighting pointless wars at expense of their and our soldiers...

Don't believe everything you read in social media.
That statement has been well and truly debunked.

Excellent question and here's another...Why don't the rich middle eastern countries accept asylum seekers? UAE & Saudi Arabia for instance....

2 years ago I saw video of him saying it.
The video has since been lifted and the 'debunking' is purely political smoke and mirrors.

Yep, any firearms parts out of the U.S will rise exponentially in price so his win is a major loss for Australian shooters. He plans to disassemble the free trade agreements, some of which we benefit from. ITAR seems to be the whipping post for why dealers don't have much stock of U.S sourced items. I've had no issues getting ITAR approvals processed within 5-7 days so I find it difficult to believe ITAR as the root cause behind shortages.
I'll be hitting dealers over the weekend to stock up on hard to get U.S components such as projectiles, CCI Primers amongst other consumables and might even layby a few firearms.

I don't think Trump wants to remove all free trade agreements. More like renegotiate them for a better deal. No doubt prices will go up, but I doubt it will be much.
