If this Poll was about the UK instead of the US

The UK needs legal migrants to do the jobs UK citizens can’t or won’t fill.

What you also have to remember is that if you tax non American products you should expect those countries you start blocking to reciprocate. The US may be mighty but if you didn’t have export markets you wouldn’t be so mighty.

If you had two armies I would vote for this. The UK has no draft and has instead a professional army. I have always believed that armies should only be made up of those what want to do the job. Putting in the incapable and the detritus who can’t do anything else is a recipe for future losses on the battlefield.

Personally, I feel Russia and China should have the USA up there as a major polluter. The same argument about stopping one or another country polluting should be aimed at the US first.

This I can vote for, whichever country I live in. 50 years time our kids will be the driving force of the economy.
