1. Only the wealthy who live behind walls and in exchange for their oil rights.

That is my hunch. My wife’s aunt lived there and was married to a banker. He cut her out of his will and her kids took what else she had.

2. So he offers refuge to those fleeing turmoil caused by an unstable socialist regime

while denying refuge to those fleeing from the turmoil caused by unstable capitalist regimes...

7. Not even mentioning that the US has had considerable hand in destabilizing the government.

3. that means he won't.

anytime he says something like this, it usually means exactly the opposite.

4. Or more kids in cages.

5. Or he could be sincere this time.......

6. UMM. strange idea coming from bigot Trump

[Retrograde]

8. Quick perusal of Wikipedia

indicates that Venezuela is considerably "whiter" than Guatemala and Honduras - especially among the people who are likely to have the money to afford to come to the US.

No, it's not that strange for Trump. If you come in on a jetliner, especially with $$$ to buy a Trump condo, you're more welcome than people trying to eke out a better life for themselves and their families by crossing a large country on foot.

9. I thought our country was "full".

12. OUCH!

[Karadeniz]

10. Total jerk. Stupid to even bring this up. Distraction?

[Demonaut]

11. he's a monster, Venezuelans will flood Mexico

[Mr.Bill]

13. Don't need to send any to San Francisco.

We've already got Pablo Sandoval.
