Longtime readers know that I am not exactly the strongest supporter of Donald Trump. As a big employer of illegal aliens and a five-time party switcher, his commitment lends itself to some doubts. But that is no excuse to criticize him in a forum meant to represent the Republican Party response to the Democratic Party. That is, however, just what South Carolina governor Nikki Haley did.
According to her prepared remarks, Haley said:
During anxious times, it can be tempting to follow the siren call of the angriest voices," she will say, suggesting that Trump is an irrational, angry person who dislikes foreigners.
"We must resist that temptation. No one who is willing to work hard, abide by our laws, and love our traditions should ever feel unwelcome in this country," says the speech.
This is code for welcoming illegal aliens. This is how liberals talk: they claim that illegals haven't broken any laws if they haven't broken any additional laws besides entering the country illegally. Nikki, they aren't abiding by our laws if they came here legally. And they certainly aren't abiding by our traditions if they don't learn English. And we don't dislike "foreigners"; we dislike "foreigners" who are here illegally, a distinction that eludes liberals, and apparently Nikki Haley.
She also added a caveat after her comments about welcoming immigrants, saying "at the same time, that does not mean we just flat out open our borders."
"We cannot continue to allow immigrants to come here illegally, and in this age of terrorism, we must not let in refugees whose intentions cannot be determined," she said. "That means stopping illegal immigration. And it means welcoming properly vetted legal immigrants, regardless of their race or religion."

There is a dis-connect here. She twice said NO illegal immigration.
“abide by our laws, and love our traditions”
Except for that nasty old Confederate Flag.
RE: They are weaknesses that can be picked apart later.
Nah, there’s nothing to pick apart by drinking a bottle of water. Everybody does it. Even speakers on the stump.
What are you going to say to someone? Don’t vote for Rubio because he drinks water in the middle of a speech?
Only the superficial will make a big deal outta it.
Bye Bye Nikki
Sorry you were controlled by your big money donors and lobbyists!
She is not that popular in South Carolina
Relly folks:
It’s YOU guys that are identifying your idol as the one who fits her “the angriest voices,” (which is plural) - and then have apoplexy.
At the same time, when Trump says things like:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Xo78F_yKc4
you claim he wasn’t referencing Cruz.
But how about this - Trump demands Israel must ‘make sacrifices’ - IOW, Israel must make sacrifices to make a deal with a country that is dedicated to wipe them off the map
Defend that, Trumpeteer.
I won’t wait. I have other things to do this week.
Do you believe we have a one party system now?
Nikki Haley would allow the whole country of India to take our jobs... H1b visas would be given out like candy at Halloween
She is a lying fraud..rode the tea party to victory then stabbed it in the back..now she will screw American workers with her immigration push
Another one, like Rubio and Cruz, who used the ‘Tea Party’ to ride to victory only to sell us all out.
If nothing else, you certainly distort things well!
THIS is what he said, in your article! Trump speaks plainly and still you twist what he says!
“A lot will have to do with Israel and whether or not Israel wants to make the deal - whether or not Israel’s willing to sacrifice certain things,” Trump said. “They may not be, and I understand that, and I’m OK with that. But then you’re just not going to have a deal.”
FACT....the only way a deal can be made is for Israel to give up something....that’s the way it’s always been...do you think the Palestinians will ever give up anything???
Could be, but he will never live down reaching for the Water Bottle. The Internet is forever.
I’m still trying to figure out how her Speech was a response to Obama’s ridiculous SOTU.
Exactly WHAT did she respond to?
did it ever occur to people that just maybe Israel doesn’t NEED a deal with someone who repeatedly states it’s goal is to wipe it off the face of the earth.
Would YOU make a deal with your neighbor who demands part of your land -and yet still vows to destroy you?
Sorry, you just don’t get it my FRiend.
Nobody remembers one thing Rubio said during that response, just that he reached for a water bottle which denotes he got a dry mouth because he was a nervous liar.
Most people walking the streets would have no idea what The Gang of Eight was. They will however chuckle about Rubio and the Water Bottle.
The FR Bubble lives on, but we will agree to disagree.
[[Nikki Haley uses State of Union response to bash Trump and praise illegals]]
And praise gay marriage
How is she a conservative gain?
[[This dimwit Haley buried that story and made it all about dissension in the GOP.]]
And gave the left bragging rights and plenty of ammunition to use against the right=- She basically followed up on dear leader’s contempt for the right with............. more contempt for the right-
With ‘friends’ like her, who the hell needs enemies? Dear leader has gotten everything he’s gone after and had no resistance fro mthe right because of traitors like her- and here she basically corroborated everything dear leader did in his attack on the right- that was no ‘state of the union’ address- it was nothing but an hour or so of bashing the republicans- and she continued the hate fest afterwards-
I No respect for her at all!
RE: Nobody remembers one thing Rubio said during that response, just that he reached for a water bottle
I’m afraid you’re the one making a big deal out of nothing. My response to the above is — SO WHAT? Where’s the scandal?
RE: which denotes he got a dry mouth because he was a nervous liar.
NOPE, it denotes that he was thirsty period.
I suggest you look towards the gang of eight vs his promises before he got elected before you use the word “liar”. Reaching out to drink has nothing to do with it.
