3. So my takeaway: Donald Trump will keep terrorist immigrants out with Iowa Class battleships.

Sure. Makes sense to me. He can sail the USS Wisconsin up the Rio Grande to keep the Mexicans out.

What a dumbshit ad.

Same with welfare benefits. This is just more fearmongering and immigrant bashing.

15. It's quite a rigid system to apply for benefits
