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.
Never said he was fit for President.
But he IS right about illegal immigration.
Absolutely he’s right about immigration.
So why your freakout going from thread to thread simply to knock him for what he said?
I never did...it was the way he said things. His speech patters make him sound like a moron and his insults are beneath the dignity of someone his age let alone a president.
LOL, so you didn’t go from thread to thread stating “BS!” about what Trump said?
Well he once said that Mexico is “sending” illegals and yeah I call that BS. They’re not being “sent” and they’re not only Mexican. Again it’s a problem with his poor language skills.
His speech patters make him sound like a moron....So does your spelling.
I’m not running for president.
They are.
And they also have problems with: Police being murdered, paid off by criminals, gangs, drug cartels, and idiots like Vincent Fox, etc exacerbating the issue by claiming our immigration laws are racist while their own laws are stricter.
And your problem is with the facts, not what he said.

No those millions were not “sent” by the Mexican government. They come because they want a better life same as the Hondurans, El Salvadorans, Ecuadorians, Colombians etc. No one had to send them. If you believe they are mostly being sent you are pretty far out there I think and so it’s useless.
How can you not love this guy? He’s definitely making too many promises that he won’t be able to keep, but it’s done with a beguiling sense of humor. Something very Reaganesque him. And who can argue we don’t need that very badly right about now?
Uh, yes.
The Mexican government is not our friend, and they have been actively encouraging their criminals to head our way.
The government there is hopelessly corrupt and often in cahoots with the drug cartels.
Mexico is already broken and we bought it a long time ago. American dollars are the backbone of their economy.
So while I can't, at this time, support an invasion of Mexico, I could support military operations five to ten miles south of our border as a show of force to protect our border towns. Peace through strength or peace through shock and awe, whichever works.
Look up “consular matricula” cards.
The Mexican government also put out a pamphlet on how to get “asylum” and goodies as an illegal alien..
Yes all the third world governments in the world think that their poor have a God given right to come here and many leftists also but I don’t think the illegals needed to be coaxed into coming.
Just where do you think the illegals are getting Mexican government issued consular cards?
Magic?
Yes the Mexican government will assist them but it does not “send” them or the Hondurans, Ecuadorians, etc.
LOL, yeah.. assisting them in illegally crossing the border against both their laws and ours is not sending them.
Riiiiight.

Then there is that.
Whateveah..you say it is “sending” I don’t. You say you don’t want Trump for prez (or something) I know I don’t and that’s the long and short of it.
