Trump Says the U.S. Should Have Invaded Mexico
L.A. Weekly ^ | July 11, 2015 | Dennis Romero

Donald Trump took his ire toward Mexico to a new dimension as he visited Los Angeles this weekend.

During a speech to Hollywood conservative group Friends of Abe last night the GOP presidential candidate said Iraq was a needed buffer against a hostile Iran and that it was wrong for the United States to have invaded Saddam Hussein's fiefdom.

"Instead," Trump told the crowd, “we should have invaded Mexico."

This was according to an attendee who wishes to remain anonymous.* The remark was greeted with rousing applause, our source said.

The real estate mogul also said that, if he were elected to the highest office of the nation, he would "blow up the oil wells" that he believes sustain the Middle East terrorist group ISIS.

Trump arrived for the 7:30 p.m. event at the Luxe Sunset Boulevard Hotel at 7:55. He was transported in a two-SUV caravan, and he didn't stop to greet supporters outside.

Demonstrators appalled by his June 16 comments that Mexican immigrants are drug-running criminals and "rapists" gathered across the street from the Brentwood venue.

Our source said that Friends of Abe, whose membership reportedly includes Clint Eastwood, Gary Sinise and Pat Boone, rented out the hotel bar, patio, and lobby lounge to ensure privacy.

Even hotel guests, the witness said, were told they could not use the bar during the event.

Actor Nick Searcy of FX's Justified entered the dining room in a Mexican wrestling mask and told the invite-only crowd, "I had to wear this to get past ‘em." He was ostensibly referring to the pro-immigrant protesters outside, most of whom appeared to be Latino. The comment evoked laughter, our source said.

Author Ann Coulter, who has been equally if not more vicious on immigration, was in the audience, and Trump blew her a kiss from the podium, the witness said.

Lou Ferrigno, Paul Sorvino, and Morgan Brittany were spotted in the audience. Comedian Tom Dreesen introduced Trump but asked the audience to keep his own name out of it, we were told.

After speaking to the Friends of Abe, Trump took no questions and exited.

Following his June 16 comments, Trump has stood fast by his stance — "when Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best" — but he also expressed some qualified affection for the Mexican people and aimed his guns more specifically at the White House and at the Mexican government.

"Their leaders are much smarter, sharper and more cunning than our leaders and they’re killing us at the border and they’re killing us in trade," he said during a campaign stop in Phoenix today.

Now why do I suspect you are not being sincere?

Same reason you suspect Trump said "the U.S. should have invaded Mexico."

Because you have zero evidence to back up such a suspicion.

It's what you do.

bkepley only can attack Trump, he has no soutions to illegal aliens, thinks they aren’t invading, and thinks they are so nice and wunnerful.
So his choice is to go around crapping on anyone who has been paying attention and is angry over illegal aliens.

I twice told him that we should put a line of Cobalt 60 at the border, that it would fix a lot of things.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cobalt-60
The main uses for 60Co are:
Sterilization of medical equipment.[7]
Radiation source for medical radiotherapy.[8]
Radiation source for industrial radiography.[8]
Radiation source for pest insect sterilization.[9]
As a radiation source for food irradiation and blood irradiation.[7]
As a radiation source for laboratory mutagenesis use.


So pest control, and mutagenesis are the things I’m really looking at there...
...C60 takes care of roach problems really well.

No, I am not for illegal immigration and also think legal immigration needs a 20 year break or very restricted. About the Cobalt I thought you were joking and I think it’s absurd but don’t want to argue about it.

We had at one point a poster in forum whose wife was an illegal, and he smugly bragged to all who would listen that he would help illegals break the law.
He did eventually get banned, but it took awhile.
Don’t recall his handle offhand.

LOL, really.

Actually, 60Co would be cost effective border denial.
It would be relatively easy to implement, and only needs to be maintained every five years.
Could be built into something like, I dunno, a fence.

http://freerepublic.com/focus/news/3308688/posts?page=65#65 <======But they aren’t committing crimes according to you [cough cough, being here illegally is already breaking the law] and they’re so wunnerful for farmers.. you said such.

I said the farmers love them and they aren’t a problem around here but I understand they are a big problem elsewhere such as in California. Yes I did say that. I never said I was in favor of illegal immigration but you know that.

You’re assuming they aren’t a problem.
Hint: Being here illegally IS a problem.

I never thought I’d see the day when the federal government would cede its soveriegn territory to a foreign government, but it has. There are ranchers in South Texas who have been fenced out of their own country!

It sort of reminds me of early American settlers living on the frontier in dangerous Indian country. (Sort of.)

I agree. My only point was that they are favored agricultural workers in the apple fields and every gas station and grocery store owner in Henderson County would probably say they don't cause trouble except among themselves.

Then why did you go into a snit over what Trump said about illegal aliens and crime?
Why did you go from thread to thread spreading love and joy, oh wait, idiocy and illegal alien apologia?
Yes, trying to downplay the crimes is apologia.

My target is and was Trump who is not fit to be president although if he wants to stay an anti-illegal immigrant billionaire I think that would be great.
