A former congressman from Hawaii said Monday he’s leaving the Republican Party because of President Donald Trump and the failure of fellow party members to stand up to him.

Charles Djou, who represented Honolulu in the U.S. House from 2010 to 2011, wrote in an opinion piece published in Civil Beat on Monday he’s disturbed that the Republican Party under Trump has become hostile to immigration.

He’s got to be a retard. How did he ever get elected? The GOP is NOT “hostile to immigration”. We are “hostile” to ILLEGAL ALIEN INVADERS WHO VIOLATE OUR LAWS. Read it an weep Spanky.

Stand up to WHAT, exactly? Stand up to more and better paying jobs? Stand up to border security? Stand up to being either feared or respected by enemies and friends? Stand up to cleaning out the swamp in D.C.?

Agreed.

This guy is pandering to liberals, apparently, who don’t comprehend, or can’t understand, the difference between legal immigration and illegal immigration.

Trump has welcomed immigration from civilized countries like Norway.

Hostile to illegal immigration. How many times do you have to tell them? It's as if they don't want to understand....

Must be auditioning for a spot on the MSM. You either have to be a Democrat or a Trump-bashing GOPe to quality.

"This guy is pandering to liberals, apparently, who don’t comprehend, or can’t understand, the difference between legal immigration and illegal immigration."

I disagree.

Liberals know good and goddamn well that their future DEPENDS on illegals.

LEGAL immigrants made the effort to come here and follow the rules.

I can't imagine LEGAL immigrants are enthused by those who cut in line and broke the rules.

until such time as he can at least support LEGAL immigration .. with a stop and reversal (repatriation) of ALL of the Muslim invaders and Mexican gangsters.....and all the Communist Chinese and Indians and other Asians that our major corporations are importing by the thousands for jobs that the companies deny American college graduates...
until he can at least support fixing and reversing these three major immigration dangers, problems, burdens....

he can stay out of GOP ..and hopefully out of office!
