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..
Did you read post 111?

Nevermind, I know that you didn’t.
And I also note thatthat you have forgotten that the Mexican military has also repeatedly made incursions over the border in support of both illegal aliens and drug runners.

There is one of the minor incursions and dhs covering it up..
“Never..”
Yeah, right. ;) But seriously, both posts had the exact same time stamp, down to the second, so something was up.
Browser hiccups will do that where it reposts the sent data to the server for some reason.
Mobile devices are more prone to it happening, but I have had Internet Exploder do that due to some bizarre disconnect.
Yes I read 111 but I responded to 137 in which you imply that invasion is an option and you still won’t say if you think it is or not. 111 is JR’s non-respone to whether invasion of Mexico is a serious thing or just a “Trumpism”.
Sure, why not.
They do border incursions all the time.
Besides, don’t you want more neighbors since the farmers love them?

I told you, a line of cobalt 60 at the border does wonders for lots of things.
Thanks. I recently went from Firefox to Opera. Who knows?
OK say we invade Mexico. What the hell are we gonna do with all the Mexicans? I assume we’ll go thru them like a hot knife thru butter.
Weird.
Haven’t seen opera do it.
But I have seen Firefox do it.

(Works on IE as well.)
Probably a quirk of the way they cache and handle sent information.
Me likey da TRUMP!
We kinda did that back in the early nineteen hundreds. First use of aviation then too.
Why would we want it?
Been there...Done that...(in 1842).
“Fine but 1) Did he say the US should invade Mexico and 2) If so was he serious?”
Good points for all of us to keep in mind.
However, to those who are questioning the wisdom of dealing decisively with Mexico, besides the Illegal invasion (spawned by the ultimate desire to necessitate some form of totalitarian U.S. government), we should also reconsider the number of people who have been killed in recent years (largely across northern Mexico), into the calculus. It is believed the number is roughly 100,000 since 2006.
See: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/may/22/mexico-firefight-drug-cartel-region
“organized criminal activity around the country that has killed an estimated 100,000 people since the drug wars began in 2006.”
In my opinion, we should pull a “Sherman” against the drug cartels and corrupt government of Mexico. Someone needs to put an end to those responsible for the bloodshed on or near our border.
We need to start acting like a sovereign America again.
Without advocating the type of “Nation Building” which could have never worked in the Middle East, with all we have faced with Mexico directly on our southern flank, it might be worth considering segregating/isolating and “territorializing” previous Mexican states to keep it/them from interfering further with our own elections through stopping the flood of Illegal voters.
If we did, it might largely eliminate the
“progressive,” “never let a crisis go to waste” we have been experiencing for so long.
I know, it’s just a pipe dream.
The problem is though the old Colin Powell thing if you break it you bought it. Invade? Not an option IMO.
Rumor—expect to hear more of this-—He even has underwear with a confederate Flag!
Our government is not our friend.
Very true.
His sarcasm will doubtless not be taken as such,...by THE RACE....etc,,,
My favorier Racist Mexican site used to be the VOICE of AZTLAN.
They were as loopy as Louis Farraklown
