But you must be very naive to think there is not a problem with crime in many illegal immigrant areas! And that is not just about Mexicans but with everyone who comes here illegally. If you are staying a country illegally you must not have much respect for laws. And the ban was so that America could come up with a way to PROPERLY screen Muslim so make sure they are not terrorists!!!
It was a general statement on Mexicans. " When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're not sending you. 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. And some, I assume, are good people." That's a pretty broad brush and goes beyond being an anti-illegal immigration stand.

I never supported illegal immigration.

A temporary ban to figure out how to filter Muslims is just as bad. Imagine if the cops stopped every Caucasian biker they see to check if they are part of a gang. The religion of Islam does not promote terrorism and the overwhelming majority of Muslims are not terrorists. If we're going to do that, we might as well temporarily report all Muslims that are already in the country.

There is nothing wrong with illegal immigration. I support it as long as it stays illegal. But we can't allow some to take advantage of it. There needs to be a control mechanism against that.

I agree with that. Illegal immigrants shouldn't have the same privleges as legal immigrants. By the same logic, non-citizens should not be allowed to vote, as some had advocated for.

Awesome poll, can't believe trump is leading....

Whoever votes for him has some balls, I personally agree with a lot of what he says, even though to accomplish some of the goals seems unrealistic. I'm more concerned about some of the nasty stuff coming out of his mouth, I feel like he's going to take us to war, a man like him does not like to back down, which is not always a good thing.

Trump is a very reasonable and flexible person, far from reckless. Don't under estimate him, he is a very smart guy. He comes off as an authoritative person and as a leader which is what America needs. Trump is CALCULATED. There is a method behind the madness. He talks the talk because he has to and because he wants to WIN. No different than talking smack on the basketball court to your opponent.

You do what you gotta do to get to the finish line. Trump right now, during the primaries and general election is in COMPETITION MODE. Once he wins, I guarantee he will tone it down. Notice that all the people that know Trump on a personal level say he is a much calmer person who is a great father and family man. Again, there is a method to the madness. Trump knows what he's doing and clearly it's working as he is the front runner. Even his negative polling numbers have dropped like 10 points. Don't sleep on him. He would make an excellent President and get great results. Just let him do his thing and you'll see.

I can understand the method if that really is his method, but that assumes people will forget the extreme things he has already said. It also assumes people will believe the "new" Trump is the real Trump and not the other way around. What would make people believe that the "new" him isn't just a facade he puts up to win the general election.

I doubt it, if anything, I personally feel like he wants to protect this country more then any other candidate. He even said the war on Iraq was a total waste and should of never happened, and he is only acting the way he does now to draw attention and recieve voters/supporters.

I'm against illegal immigration. Being illegal when they work they are not contributing to taxes here and are used by employers to avoid paying the payroll taxes. Their children will be US citizens (I support this) and eligible for public school. Plus these families use other public services paid for by other taxpayers. So if they are going to stay here give them legal status and TAX them like everyone else.

Either one or the other is going to be President.

So take your pick.

And no, calling criminals during the height of the crack cocaine era isn't unforgivable. She wasn't referring to all Black people and you know it.
