DNC mocks 'Retrumplican Party' on immigration

[n2doc]

Source: The Hill

The Democratic National Committee released a video Thursday morning mocking the GOP presidential candidates as the “Retrumplican Party” on immigration policy.

The video is a mash-up of Donald Trump airing various positions on immigration reform, interwoven with other Republican presidential candidates expressing the same views.

It’s further evidence that Democrats intend to tie Republicans to Trump’s extreme rhetoric on illegal immigration at a time when the GOP is seeking to make inroads with Hispanic voters.

The video begins with the now infamous remarks Trump made last month during his presidential launch speech, in which he said: “When Mexico sends its people, they’re bringing drugs, they’re bringing crime. They’re rapists.”

...provide a pathway to citizenship are just pandering? That Obama's executive orders are just a hypocritical attempt to get Hispanic votes?

3. Will the Democrats show some backbone this time around?

God only knows they have plenty of material to work with and surely understand the Republicans will play dirty.

4. "Trumpublican" has a nicer ring

Ask your Republican acquaintances if they're one.

5. Mockery is the best medicine for creeping fascism.

[William Seger]

9. "When Mexico sends its people..."

Is Trump saying that the Mexican government is sending us drugs, crime, and rapists?

10. The party of Trump has a nice ring to it

Trumpublicans it is!

12. republicans will deport 5 million people if they get their way.

13. No, they will just threaten to

Because if they did do so, who would build Trump's hotels? Who would pick the veggies for his salads and slaughter the pigs for his pork chops? Who would mow the lawns and do all of the other low paying jobs? Because he sure ain't for raising wages to levels where enough Americans will do those jobs.

Repubs say all this crap, but whenever they actually do anything that results in fewer immigrant workers, their business buddies scream bloody murder and get them to back off.

14. most of those type are deported. the 5 million # republicans 'threaten' are

college students,home owners, college grads, business owners, parents and grandparents of American citizens people who have lived here for decades, unfortunately no papers and not voters.
