Could anger over Donald Trump's rhetoric reinvigorate the push for immigration reform?

A decade ago, Anabel Garcia Romo, then a 17-year-old attending Garfield High School, took part in the epic May Day march through the streets of downtown Los Angeles.

She was drawn to the protest because she had friends and family who were in the country illegally and she opposed a proposal in Congress that would have made them felons.

Garcia called the day a defining moment in her life. But in the years since, nothing -- not even Donald Trump -- has compelled her back to the streets.

May Day - A day liberals celebrate Communism

Enter Donald Trump, who has made attacks on Mexican ILLEGAL immigrants and building a border wall a centerpiece of his presidential campaign.

If these pukes want to go to the embassy in Mexico and apply for a visa, providing all the information necessary, and legally immigrate to the US, I'm all for it - and so is Trump.

If they want to pay a coyote to bring them across illegally then I'd just as soon they *not* (read into that what you will).

There. Fixed it.

I'm all for immigration reform. Here's the reform I'd like to see:

Anyone who is in this country illegally has six months (OK 3 months) (OK ONE month) to get the hell out and go back to whatever country they came from.

Anyone who exceeds that period is subject to immediate arrest and incarceration in one of the many prison work camps along the border, where they will be put to work building The Wall.

At the end of their incarceration, they have "Property of Mexico" (or whatever country of origin) tattooed on their foreheads and then are dumped on the other side of the border or otherwise transported/delivered to their country of origin.

During the arrest, incarceration and/or deportation process, they will be videotaped for advertisements in other countries bearing the message: "This is what happens when you come to America illegally."

The illegal alien vote, the legal alien vote, which is already at 6%, plus George Soros gets to count the votes from Florida, New York, and 9 other states. This time the DoJ will be riding hard on the polling places to ensure that no prospective voter is questioned about status or anything else and no one is refused just because his face has been seen a dozen times before in the sign in lines.

I can't imagine the Republican carrying California unless he gets 70% or better of the legitimate live single time citizen vote. in California it is LEGAL FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS to vote in local and state elections and the registrars tell those signing up, hey," yall (Actually they probably don't say 'yall' over there) get the same ballots as everyone else, go ahead and vote the whole ballot, no one else can know!"

Simple answer is no.

“...Donald Trump, who has made attacks on Mexican immigrants...”

WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He has made attacks on ILLEGAL Mexican criminals. (I won’t even call them “immigrants”).......

[GOPJ]

American citizens are sick of MSM outlets and their endless pity parties for illegals ... Give it a rest guys... this is the reasons newspapers are dying - - they hype the groups that hate us and our country.

Then to add insult to injury they stand with criminals, illegals, and ANYONE who hates traditional Americans.

Even facebook makes a small effort to be fair...

[odawg]

Short answer: NO.

[JBW1949]

I have said before...Send them a message...E-mail to the papers and networks...Stop watching or buying...Even e-mail some of their advertisers that you are doing this...

Boycott them all....

If enough did it, the advertisers would not give so much and the papers and channels would have to change or fold...

Thank you! My mistake...

Reform is necessary. It must consist of secure borders (wall or other barrier), limited access to residents of any part of the world not firmly in our corner, no access to Muslims from anywhere and careful tracking of all visitors and temporary residents, long or short term. Alarm bells on every overstay not requested and approved, with immediate removal. Any costs incurred aiding foreign nationals or removing them to be paid out of whatever foreign aid package or balance of payments exists.

[LydiaLong]

We don’t need immigration reform. We need immigration enforcement.

[JimRed]

There is a difference between legal residency and citizenship. Legal resident non-citizens can’t vote. Our job is to make sure they don’t. If we get the presidency and retain control of congress and fail to clean up the RAT vote fraud machine, then we don’t deserve our republic.

And we MUST overturn this POS to do so: http://judicialview.com/Court-Cases/Civil-Procedure/Democratic-National-Committee-v-Republican-National-Committee/10/201975

It certainly is NOT Donald Trump’s “rhetoric,” in spite of what the LA Slimes has to say.

I heard that idiot George Noory used that same word...”rhetoric” on “Coast-to-Coast AM” last night while talking about Donald Trump.

The American people have finally had it with all the crime and filth these illegals are spreading across America. We want our country back.

[LS]

“Reform,” as in build the wall, deport the illegals.

Yep, not only “could.” “Will.”

[aimhigh]

Reform: a word used by liberals when they don’t want to obey or enforce a law.

[arthurus]

They are voting regularly at about 6% and illegals vote legally in California and Chicago.

Check out the comments at the slimes - 150 of them and 95% of them could have come right out of this thread on FR. I've seen this in several other instances & it proves that it's not just Freepers who are fed up.
