“American hands will rebuild our nation. Not the hands of people from other nations.” — Donald Trump

I don't even know where to begin detailing the many, many, many things wrong with this comment. The hostility toward immigrants; the erasure of colonialism and slavery and indentured servitude and immigrant-built infrastructure; the fact that he is the son of an immigrant and is married to an immigrant...
Meanwhile, in her economic address earlier today, Hillary Clinton spoke about bringing undocumented immigrants into the legal economy because it's the right thing to do and because our country needs everyone's talents.
I am running out of words for this guy and the garbage he disgorges from his awful mouth every day.
I'll just leave it here: Donald Trump, as a person who is myself married to a "person from another nation," your contempt for the contributions of such people is duly noted. Asshole.
