Find me where he said “I hate Mexicans “ or “I hate immigrants “ , you can’t.


Well that didn't take long. June 15, 2015


"When Mexico sends it people, they're not sending their best. They're not sending you. They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. - Donald Trump

“We have people coming into the country or trying to come in, we're stopping a lot of them, but we're taking people out of the country. You wouldn't believe how bad these people are," Trump said.
"These aren't people. These are animals."

Congress critters allowing this to continue are complicit.
No, booting it to Congress is exactly because he's not a dictator.

FYI - Dems in Congress have refused to acknowledge and vote on a law ending this. They want the President to handle it. Any guesses why?

Bad neighborhood -- yeah -- okay.
There are places like that in the US and in many countries. There were nine homicides in Chicago last weekend.

Too many sheltered lefties who don't understand reality. This is not what asylum was designed for.

According to this USA Today article :

Quote:
The largest chunk of U.S. aid goes toward law enforcement — including helping Mexican authorities capture drug lords — supporting improvements to the Mexican judicial system and security, including along Mexico’s southern border, helping stem the flow of immigrants from Central and South America.

“If we cut off aid to Mexico, we strengthen the drug cartels, we make our border region a lot more lawless place, and we make it easier for undocumented immigrants from Central America to reach the U.S.-Mexico border,” said Mark Jones, a political science professor at Rice University who specializes in Latin America.

Well, trump's chickens have come home to roost. And this is just a downpayment for his stupid insults to Mexicans. When AMLO takes office later this year, this s*** storm really hits the fan.

Viva Mexico!
I can appreciate the irony in that...……..

Every year people come to the United States seeking protection because they have suffered persecution or fear that they will suffer persecution due to:
  • Race
  • Religion
  • Nationality
  • Membership in a particular social group
  • Political opinion
If you are eligible for asylum you may be permitted to remain in the United States. To apply for Asylum, file a Form I-589, Application for Asylum and for Withholding of Removal, within one year of your arrival to the United States. There is no fee to apply for asylum.

PS - my grandparents came here legally.
