I never imagined I would be here on FR defending Donald Trump, but some of the posters and their totally over-the-top posts make me sick!

Mr. Trump has put SUNLIGHT on the issue essential to the endurance of Our Republic!

Illegal aliens will be the reason for our demise, long before Iran has nukes!

He could lock up the election by going after Muslims the way he is going after illegal aliens.

This reminds me of Rick Santelli on the floor of the Chicago Board of Trade calling for a Tea Party.

OK about illegals. Has Trump said ANYTHING about the Second Amendment? Litmus test for owners of 300+ million guns.

He hasn't said much but one thing I've observed about Trump is that he tends to do his homework very well. He has a knack for seeking out people who really do know what they are talking about for advise and I think he knows how to think and apply logic.

So if he continues I do believe he will get to the truth about guns and the second amendment before he starts taking a hard line position.

Even those trying to take Trump down know that there are serious problems, even before this latest tragedy in SF.

It appears nobody will actually do what the American people wanted years ago, build a fence and close the borders.

Even on the highly unprobable chance that Trump would be elected, he could be stymied by Congress or powerful lobbies, even our corrupted or politically biassed SC.

And the most scary thing is there is nobody else to take up the cause as vociferously as Trump, and it will go by the way of the NSA snoops. Nothing will be done, and the people are impotent to do anything about it.

Those stats are stunning.

Trump needs to cite them. Perhaps he has and I missed it.

I never thought much of him until now, figured him for just a wealthy liberal New York elitist.

But now I realize there’s more to him than that. He’s a hands on can do guy. He knows what he wants and goes after it. I like what I’m seeing so far. He’s a populist who’s pushing the right buttons.

He says he will build the best, most powerful border fence the world has ever seen. I don’t doubt that for a second, he’s a builder, a very successful one.

I read this yesterday:

He’s not just a talker, he’s a doer.

Trump’s PRO 2A stance was the first thing they the dems were jumping on him about. He made some comments relating to people buying guns (as a good thing) when the prisoners escaped up in NY. If you recall, H.Rodham tried to blame him for the church shooting in SC.

“OK about illegals. Has Trump said ANYTHING about the Second Amendment? Litmus test for owners of 300+ million guns.”

Elect Jeb, any Democrat, or possibly Walker - get 30 Million new Democrat voters - and the Second Amendment won’t even matter - the courts will be stacked, and so will Congress.

None of our issue will even matter, once the Dems get the PERMANENT MAJORITY they are on the verge of achieving. So, fight the gun battle AFTER we have someone that will seal the border - otherwise, none of our concerns will matter anymore - it will be over.

“... 55,322 criminal aliens were arrested a total of at least 459,614 times, averaging over eight arrests per alien. The Department of Justice expressed its surprise at the ‘extremely high’ rate of re-arrests for criminal aliens when it found that that 73 criminal aliens in a study group were arrested a total of 429 times.”
That’s according to a Government Accounting Office (GAO) study
http://www.gao.gov/products/GAO-05-646R

Reflect on those numbers for just a minute.
This GAO study is only counting the number of arrests! And that should bring two questions immediately to mind:

How many actual crimes did these 55,322 criminal aliens actually commit?

How is it even conceivable that each of these illegal aliens could be arrested on average a total of almost nine times?

To at least partially answer the second question, you only need to look at so-called “sanctuary cities.”
Sanctuary cities are localities across the United States where liberal mayors and local legislators have instituted policies that prohibit law enforcement from cooperating with federal immigration agents and prohibit them from even questioning the immigration status of anyone they arrest.

But to add more insult to injury, many American cities like New York even allow illegal aliens to obtain free health care, food stamps and a whole assortment of government goodies without having their immigration status questioned.
