Donald Trump-"Mexicans Are Not Our Friends"

Mexicans "are not our friends," he said.

"They're sending people that have lots of problems and they're bringing their problems," he said. "They're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime, they're rapists, and some I assume are good people but I speak to border guards and they tell us what we are getting."

He needs to take Steve King as his running mate and make Tom Tancredo Secretary of Homeland Security

I bet we could find a few hundred with a quick review of the HR departments of his companies.

That said, he was pretty offensive on a number of issues and embarrassingly rambling, live on national media broadcasts.

I zoned out during the great wall of Mexico part.

The quotation marks between your subject line and the article appear to be mobile.

"We like Americans just fine. Most of them are good people, even though they finance our drug cartels and cause the murder of thousands of our citizens. And they provide jobs for many of our people, even if we have to risk our lives crossing the border to work at those jobs, and even though they show us no respect for doing their dirty jobs."

There fixed it

They're sending people that could cause the Oligarchs lots of problems.

You know the motivated best and brightest of the lower classes. If they didn't have the Pressure Relief Valve so to speak. Wonder how long before change would be forced?
