    I agree with Trump that It would be good to attract more immigrants from Norway, but it might be hard to attract them.

    Their billionaires might find the US attractive as once naturalized, they can give heir billions to their heirs without taxes. A similar attraction might exist for those worth $10 to $ 50 million assets. Admittedly this is a relatively small group but maybe they could donate money to offset media and think tanks to combat the ideology selfishness funded by many of our billionaires like the Murdochs, the Kochs, the Mercers, the Adelsons etc

    Still what would make the average Norwegian immigrate to the US and give up their higher wages, free health care, larger social security benefits, free college tuition, the 5 week paid vacations with an extra holiday check, their free child care etc.? Crazy hot romantic love for a US citizen? Desperation to avoid the Norwegian winter?.. Perhaps we could offer the average Norwegians say $500 k to immigrate here with an additional $500 k for each accompanying relative.. Again , it might be worth it to help spread Norwegian values of cooperation and love for their fellow citizens and make America less of a shithole for so many in this the Age of the GOP Tax Plan and Trump family values.

    The only Norwegians I know in the USofA are in Houston because of the oil industry.

    Trump would rather take a criminal uneducated Norwegian than an educated successful man from Ghana.

    Why don't people that think like Trump leave America and head back to their continent? Isn't that a great idea?

    I forgot that, but I was talking about those who actually might immigrate here permanently.

    NORWAY! We need to be more like NORWAY, less like shithole HAITI, EL SALVADOR, and AFRICA.

    Norway has universal healthcare, universal basic income, free college education.

    I thought Republicans don't want to be anything like Norway?

    We have for-profit healthcare, for profit higher education, and universal basic income is socialism. Lol

    The point being, there's no reason people for Norway would want to immigrate here. It's just hilarious Trump is using Norway as an example of a great country.

    Trump's statement is about race.

    I wasn't talking about Norway Nimrod. I was just stating the fact that there are worst countries to live in besides the United States, and if he would like to go find out how they are, then by all means be my guest
