“If an immigrant abides by the law, immigrates properly and loves our traditions, then they’re welcome here with open arms.”

EVERY TIME an immigrant arrives on our shores, he is either taking taxpayer money or someone’s job. Have you noticed how many Americans are out of work? Are you willing to turn you job over to an immigrant? your tax money?

The only reason they picked her to do their bidding is that she had done their bidding this past summer when she tore down the Confederate flag from the Confederate Memorial.

When she originally ran for governor, she was dead last in the polls. Palin held a big rally for her, and within a couple of days she was #1, and went on to win. When asked whether she owed a special thank you to Palin, Haley said she didn’t owe her any such thing, and has snubbed Palin ever since.

She’s a real establishment piece of work.

"...warning against rhetoric that would threaten "the dream that is America."

It gets old, this meme that the American Dream consists solely of throwing open our borders to non-Western primitive nonwhite throwbacks.

We don't need them. Our leaders know that. This is done solely to divide and conquer.

She did not mention him by name.

[CPT Clay]

You are correct about Sarah

[McGruff]

The Uniparty must be crushed.

nikki haley is a fool and a tool. Does anyone care what the future-Whig (gop-e) party has to say?

[meadsjn]

When I hear a Republican call our system of government a "democracy", my first thought is "what an ignorant, communist POS".

Then maybe it is deliberate. India is hopelessly corrupt. Obviously, she doesn't mind bringing more corruption here.

disgusting. This woman is doing the lefts and the establishments bidding and used this event to attack what the voters want.

[manc]

She dumps the battle flag and is proud of this , because she did the NAACP and the lefts bidding.

[MortMan]

No one who is willing to work hard, abide by our laws (except for those pesky immigration laws), and love our traditions should ever feel unwelcome in this country.

Did she pause in the appropriate spot when she said this?

[manc]

Feel the same way and well said.
To take pride about taking away southern heritage was disgusting. How proud the NAACP and the left is of her.

[KeyLargo]

Haley gave the tired, generic Rino response, in the usual snoozer method of putting viewers to sleep. zzzzzzzzzzzz

It was similar to a Jeb Bush rally:

[alstewartfan]

Haley is a waste of a governor’s chair. And I’m not for Trump. This speech was that of an establishment hostage.

[Billthedrill]

The GOPe is still apparently under the impression that their enmity for Trump isn’t regarded as a positive thing. Bit out of touch, that, but that isn’t news.

She got her governorship on the backs of conservatives and Tea Party people.

I never have liked her .. and the moment she got into office, she was the darling of the RNC.

So, she’s NOT a conservative .. and she is willing to use people to get what she wants.
