Initially, most Republican candidates tried to ignore him. But as major corporations cut ties with Trump over his declaration that some Mexican immigrants are rapists and drug-runners, and as the issue continues to fill the airwaves of Spanish-language media, more candidates have spoken out, separating into two camps. Donald Trump's comments on immigration complicate GOP's 'Latino problem' Donald Trump's comments on immigration complicate GOP's 'Latino problem'

Those who hope to appeal to Latino voters, including the two Floridians in the race, former Gov. Jeb Bush and Sen. Marco Rubio, as well as former Texas Gov. Rick Perry, have criticized Trump.

Truth hurts, wish these other guys would not excoriate Trump. Damn. He’s being raked over the coals but he’s announced he’s going to sue NBC now, Miss Costa Rica and Panama withdrew from the pageant. Whatever. Americans come first!

Yes, Trump is NOT Politically Correct, unfortunately, most of the other Republican Candidates are...too bad for us.

We should ask Miss Costa Rica and Miss Panama if we can send all these illegals to their countries.

The party of no values, morals or ethics starts throwing accusations and setting the ‘tone’ to make their political opponents dance

Cruz and Santorum have defended Trump, and by extension have defended the American worker. Not to mention the constitutional order.

The others have essentially disqualified themselves by refusing to defend the border.

I know Trump speaks clumsily, but he speaks directly and the people who like him, thats precisely what they like about him. People are sick to death of mealy-mouths and fuzzballs.

Jeb Bush and company are cowards. Make no mistake, any politician who refuses to admit the truth concerning our open borders (thank you jorge busho for that) is interested only in getting into office. And we’ve seen what these phonies are like. Just look at our current Congress.

My feelings are profoundly UNdivided about Trump’s words:

Grand-slam home-run, right out of the park.

He’s the ONLY brave guy saying the things I want to hear, other than Ann Coulter, getting screamed at in L.A., the other day.

If he runs I’ll vote for the orange-faced screamer, yup.

And if the candidate is Jeb, well, I will enjoy NOT VOTING.

The country needs to talk about illegals...

How do we really feel with a forth of Mexico now living in the United States?

Does California want to share their water with another three million illegals?

Republicans are divided between chamber of commerce employees and conservatives.

No . . .what divides the candidates is that there are those who get played and then there are a few who don’t.

“California water belongs to the snail darters.”

I made a comment like that and never heard the end of it on this site. The Snail Darters are in Tennessee, it’s the DELTA SMELT that they’re trying to save by dumping all of their fresh water into the Pacific.

The SS bodyguards had better draw a tight shield around Trump when “undocumented immigrants” are in the neighborhood.
