    That means building a great wall on the southern border, and hiring more heroes to keep communities safe.

    (this is the first detailed proposal he's made all night)

    3) Closes loopholes that are exploited by criminals and such.

    Ends the practice of Catch & Release.

    Fuck off.

    The “White Lives Matter” of this speech. Nice.

    Great. Needed an even more infuriating catchphrase for this.

    The dictum that truth always triumphs over persecution is one of the pleasant falsehoods which men repeat after one another till they pass into commonplaces, but which all experience refutes.

    Yes. The entire point here is to drum up anti-immigrant sentiment to help pass legislation that keeps the non-whites out.

    4th pilllar “protects the nuclear family” by ending chain migration.

    Limits migration to spouses and minor children, instead of “limitless” distant relatives.

    Lots of boos.

    Under current broken system, they can bring in unlimited extended family.

    (boos from a lot of the room)

    Under new plan, limits to spouses and minor children.

    This vital reform is required for our economy and security, and for the future of America.

    Citing the terrorist attacks being because of the VISA lottery and chain migration.

    We can no longer afford these risks.

    It is time to reform these outdated rules, and bring immigration system into the 21st century.

    Four pillars represent down the middle compromise, and a safe system.

    Talking about failures to solve the problem. Saying this congress can finally make it happen.

    Most importantly, these 4 pillars will fufill my iron-clad promise to put America first.

    Ironically the assumption that they'd be white is why conservatives supported it in the past.

    These reforms will support our response to the terrible crisis of opiopd and drug addiction - calling it terrible, need to do something about it.

    Lost 64k Americans to drug overdoses.

    We must get much tougher on drug dealers and pushers if we are going to stop this "scoourge" (so... doctors?)

    This stinks of Miller.

    Miller was writing this speech. So of course it's both shit and also nazi as fuck.

    We all knew this was coming. The only concrete policy that's going to occur in a Trump speech written by Miller is laying out the plan for white supremacy.

    Fear the non-whites -> they are taking over the country and killing us with their filthy gangs -> white genocide -> enact my policies to keep america white

    I don't know how much longer this goes on, but it really feels like the centrepiece of this shitty screed.

    Saw a pregnant, homeless woman about to inject heroin. Told her she'd hurt the child, but didn't know where to turn. Ryan felt God speak to him, took out a picture of the wife and 4 kids, and told wife, they would adopt the child. Named the daughter Hope.

    As we rebuild American's strength and confidence at home, we are also restoring our strength and standing abroad.

    (wait, what about the drug war)

    Calling out China and Russia as challenging us.

    In confronting these dangers, we know that Weakness is the surest way to conflict, and untold strength to something.. sorry, missed it.

    Calling for end to Defense sequester.

    As part of defense, modernize and rebuild nuclear arsenal, hopefully never using it, but making it so strong and powerful that it will deter any acts of aggression by any other nation or anyone else.
