In my opinion, the media simply opposes people if they have a differing opinion or aren't PC.
I am ignorant and don't use Google . Enlighten me. Can we can just go across Canada to legally work and get free education and healthcare?
Decent? Their first act is to thumb their noses at our immigration laws. If they are fleeing for safety then they could apply for a refugee status. Most illegals coming here are coming to take jobs and resources from Americans not fleeing any unsafe conditions.

That's the ole pro-illegal mantra alright. No matter how false it is.

I'm a Democrat, but objectively I think Trump will do far better than the likes of Jindal, Huckabee and many other Republican candidates. He can even win the nomination, I would not underestimate him if I were Jeb Bush or other GOP contenders.

Plenty of people will find him appealing.

At the end of the day he is a successful business man who has bounced back and has strong leadership positions. Sure he may come off as a laughing stock but Donald Trump is not an idiot.

As for his wealth, he is very wealthy in the worst case scenario. Even if his billions are overstated, who cares if it is 8 billion, 4 billion or 2 billion? Worst case scenario Trump's wealth is 900 million.

You're being polite. The anchor baby scheme is tremendous. Especially in places like CA, TX and ARI. And the schools are loaded with parents who could give a damm about AMerican way of life; don't learn the language, don't bother to discipline their kids. They give teachers a bunch of phone #'s that dont work, but continue to get a bunch of free breakfast , lunch, EBT, ect. Its insane. There's certain areas of LA that on a Saturday night, i kid you not, a street will look like Tiajuana filled with trinkets being dold, food trucks, and people cooking in front of their house and music blaring ,, complete disregard for 1st world quality of life

I like what Trump is saying outloud so far. He seems to be the only one who cares. Again, he hasnt really said anything wrong, people are just upset because he said it.

Good luck with that Trump.

I get the popularity, but it's not a realistic popularity. I used to think people (voters) know the difference but seeing what happened with Palin made me realize they don't. He COULD be elected. Just like dogs and goats get elected to be Mayor and stuff. People straight up don't care about anything but the instant gratification of hearing someone say something they like. They don't understand anything else. Citizens have been trained well by whoever holds the stick.

Who chose these people? Not anyone I know. Our candidates are chosen for us by the oligarchs who pay for them, and we only hear from candidates that the media can build drama and controversy on, to entertain us.

I know what you are talking about as I live in the thick of it here in So. Calif. There is nothing wrong with telling the truth about illegal immigration and I am glad Trump had the guts to do it. What puzzles me is what loyal, law abiding American would be offended by the truth?
