I've explained this to you about 100 times now. Whenever the illegal immigrant issue rears it's head, there is corresponding increase in anti-Hispanic rhetoric. Why is this? Because the issues are linked, opposition to illegal immigration is primarily because said illegals are Hispanic. That's why you also see the political figures most fervent about mass deportations and huge walls also frothing at the mouth as they bash Puerto Ricans, demand the Spanish language be banned everywhere, and Hispanic names be outlawed.

You claim to be a Republican, too. Means nothing from you; even less from him. Puerto Ricans have no representation in congress and do not vote for president. I could not care less which party he "identifies" with.

This is the problem: People that see racism everywhere. And they come up with nonsense stuff such as white supremacy. For you to believe in racism you must first accept the premise of white supremacy. If you did not believe in white supremacy you would not see racism everywhere. Do you think the white people are superior?

The Senate voted in favor of Hawaii statehood, 75 to 15. 14 of the "no" votes were from Democrats.
Signed by Eisenhower - a Republican.

See why Democrats keep losing?

Those were the Dixiecrats that later switched to the GOP ... like Strom Thurmod.

You are simply lying or just making things up. Who do you hang out with where you hear this crap? Being a staunch SJW will get you know where, in fact it will get you shunned.

Does your username mean you graduated HS in 2006? You know nothing about history, you are parroting what the Leftist mob has been telling you.

The Republican Party should be the party of free trade, free market and free men. Let the votes fall where they may.
UH - Free Men? What century are you living in?

Have at him ladies!

Apparently the GOP only need one minority called the Trump Family to be happy.

He resigned because he was unhappy that racist elflord Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III mandated the inclusion of the current territorial/colonial status in the upcoming June 11th status referendum which was previously only offered statehood or independence as options.

Who's left? Diamond & Silk, Ben Carson, Ted Cruz, Sheriff Clarke, Allan West, and Omarosa? Next up I predict Ileana Ros Lehtinen (congresswoman from Florida) will become an independent member of Congress. You can't just have a party of nothing but older and/or less well educated Whites. Once again, how many times must I post this chart before the GOP embraces inclusion and tolerance? For starters, the hardline stance on illegal immigration has to go. Do we lock up everyone who goes through a red light?

What is the Republican Party going to do in 2050?
Things will turn against these knukledraggers well before 2050 and I am betting on 2020. Winning with hate and ignorance may work for one election cycle, but it won't win the future.
