Look illegal immigration is a HUGE issue with me, I’m even to the right of Trump on this, I would eliminate birthright citizenship, prosecute and lock up all those who hire them, and ship every single one of them back if I could. Just don’t think Trump is helping that cause with his flippant and unpresidential-like comments. He comes off as an egotistical unserious blowhard, not somebody I want as a spokesman for the cause. I understand the frustrations of many on here with the other candidates not addressing this extremely important issue, but the way Trump is raising it is not helping as far as I am concerned.

Hispanic "leaders" need to be asked by GOP candidates why the US immigration policy should be any different from Mexico's.

Mexico welcomes only foreigners who will be useful to Mexican society. According to the nation's central immigration law:

• Foreigners are admitted into Mexico "according to their possibilities of contributing to national progress."
• Immigration officials must "ensure" that immigrants will not only be useful additions to Mexico, but that they have the necessary funds to sustain themselves and their dependents.
• Foreigners may be barred from the country if their presence upsets "the equilibrium of the national demographics"; if they are deemed to be detrimental to "economic or national interests"; if they have broken Mexican laws; and if they are not found to be “physically or mentally healthy."
• The Secretary of Governance may "suspend or prohibit the admission of foreigners” if he determines such action to be in the national interest."

The law also ensures that:

• immigration authorities have a record of each foreign visitor;
• foreign visitors do not violate their visa status;
• foreign visitors are banned from interfering in the country’s internal politics;
• foreign visitors who enter under false pretenses are imprisoned or deported;
• foreign visitors violating the terms of their entry are imprisoned or deported;
• those who aid in illegal immigration will be sent to prison.

COULTER HAS SAID: It's time to take back the narrative on immigration....the bygone fairy tale was that we thrive b/c we are "a nation of immigrants".

But these are not the yearning immigrants of yesteryear. These are Third World armies of barbarian invaders---lusting after the riches and wealth of our country----plotting the overthrow of the US govt. They have been coached well to act as "pressure groups" --- tight-knit ethnic voting blocs ---- to pressure Congress to start the billionaire gravy train rolling to the salivating Third World.

=================================================

Illegal Third Worlders (advocating the overthrow of the US govt) are organized into "pressure groups"...they cue border jumpers on the US political landscape. The Third World federales are lying-in-wait---salivating for zillions in "humanitarian foreign aid" and anything else they can ge their greedy hands on.

REALITY CHECK---WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS TO HUMANITARIAN US FOREIGN AID Former Guatemala Prez used US banks to launder millions (SOUND FAMILIAR?
Guatemalan was elected to "redistribute" the nation's wealth).

Alfonso Portillo---ex-president of Central America's Guatemala--- faced charges in New York that he used US banks to launder millions looted from his impoverished nation. Alfonso Portillo took office in 2000 pledging to (ahem) redistribute Guatemala’s wealth.

Portillo, 61, allegedly ran scams to drain the impoverished country's coffers. The feds say Portillo embezzled about $2.5M provided by the Taiwanese embassy....$1.5 million was earmarked for “Libraries for Peace”....books for school kids.

Portillo colluded w/ corrupt C/A insiders---he personally endorsed three $500,000 checks issued against an account at the Intl Bank of China in Manhattan, then deposited the cash in the Miami bank account of a Guatemalan bank controlled by a close associate and political supporter.

The embezzled foreign aid money was funneled to bank accounts in Paris in the names of Portillo’s ex-wife and daughter.

<><> Portillo swindled nearly $4M defense funds ...

<><> plundered the national bank run by his alleged co-conspirator...

<><> through overdrafts financed by public reserves the pilfered foreign aid money paid for expensive watches and cars, for Portillo and his associates. (NY POST excerpt 5/28/13)

REMINDER: $266 million of our tax dollars in the last current spending bill is going to Central America federales to help them (GAG) assist "child victims of violence."

Current Guatemalan President Otto Perez warns
the US will be inundated w/ even more contagious illegals
if billions of US tax dollars are not handed over.

GUATEMALA CITY (Reuters) - The United States should provide billions of dollars to help Central American nations curb the flow of illegal migrants, Guatemalan President Otto Perez said, and his government warns the problem will get worse if Washington fails to help.

Fleeing violence, trying to reach relatives already in the United States or seeking jobs, record numbers of child migrants from Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador have been stopped at the southern U.S. border this year, causing widespread alarm. Last month, the three countries pitched Washington an ambitious development plan to confront the issue.

They want to pump about $10 billion into the region to create jobs and lift living standards, with the bulk of funding coming from the United States, Perez told Reuters. He hopes the plan could come up with about $2 billion a year from 2015 to 2019, a sum he equated to roughly 10 percent of annual U.S. spending on border security and immigration enforcement.

"Now we understand it's not simply a question of the United States saying: 'Right, here's $2 billion a year for five years' for example - the governments of the three countries have to play their part too," the conservative Perez, who took power in early 2012, said in an interview late on Monday.

The US aid package would boost infrastructure and provide more jobs in all three countries, especially in areas that send large numbers of migrants to the United States, he added.

The three Central American governments are urging the United States to shoulder the lion's share of the costs, arguing that U.S. demand for illegal narcotics has fueled violence among drug gangs across much of the impoverished region.

"The United States has to support this, it has no other option," Guatemala's foreign minister, Carlos Morales, told Reuters. "If they don't support it, the crisis will kick off again, you can count on it."

Perez said he hoped the United States would put up about 60 percent of funding. "But we'll have to discuss it calmly and see what each individual country can do, and what can be achieved by common consent."

During meetings in New York in September, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry told Central American officials he hoped Congress could approve about $300 million in funding, Morales said, noting the sum was "nothing" given the scale of the problem.

Central American leaders are due to meet Vice President Joe Biden on Nov. 12 in Washington to sound out U.S. support for their plan, Morales added.--SNIP--

Yep, it’s Trump that is making the others water down their conservative views. Have you even been paying attention.

[trisham]

Don’t worry about me.

[trisham]

Why care about any "conservative message" going to anyone who disagrees with the truth - they're not listening anyway and have no intention of ever voting for a conservative. As well, the so called Latino vote is a media generated sham - Mexicans and others in the central Americas who come here illegally are not enlightened or responsible to the point that they can be expected to participate in a Republic.

*******************

Agreed.

[jimwatx]

I’m not worried about you I’m worried that Jeb might win the nomination if conservative votes become diluted by unserious egotistical blowhards like Trump.

[justiceseeker93]

This FOXNews story has a major flaw: it says that Trump blasted Mexican "immigrants", but in fact Trump was clear he was talking about ILLEGAL immigrants. (They should more accurately be termed trespassers.)

This business of "Hispanic leaders" calling on other GOP candidates to distance themselves from Trump is another example of bullying by the left. Their threats of losing enough Hispanic votes to cost the Republicans the general election are nonsense. Polls consistently show that significant majorities of the American electorate favor some action on the border to curb the invasion of illegals.

Why should American citizens of Hispanic origin disagree with the idea of curbing illegals, who in many instances compete with them for jobs? Furthermore, why should non-Mexican Hispanics take offense to negative remarks about Mexicans?

[cripplecreek]

Frankly I don’t give a flying flip about Trump. Its his own liberal friends who are attacking him, let him nut up and deal with them.

[virgil]

Maybe more white people will get the message that it’s not in their best interest to vote democrat, but I kind of doubt it. Even if beaten, burned, shot or stabbed in the street, they won’t get the message. You had to have known that it would all turn to racism with a racist mulatto in the WH.

[GOPJ]

LOL - so now we have self appointed Hispanic 'leaders'... just like 'black leaders'...

The press needs to come up with one 'stylebook' standard...

If there's self appointed leaders - let there be self appointed 'white leaders' ... OR better, create a standard that's based on objective measurements.

[Lopeover]

Yeah! Me too! Go Trump Go!

Seems to me that democrats are more upset about what Trump said than those who support Trump are. I find it amusing that liberals are giving Trump so much face time.
