For Mexicans, the Donald Trump candidacy is getting scarier

MEXICO CITY - If Donald Trump were president, he would have Mexico pay to build a wall along its 2,000-mile border to keep itself out..

He'd block the billions of dollars that Mexicans illegally in the United States send home to their families. And prevent their children born in America from automatically becoming U.S. citizens.

There wouldn't be many of these children, however, because Trump would be deporting millions of undocumented Mexicans — all of them, if he had his way.

How does that sound, Mexico?

"We don't know if we should laugh or if we should cry," said Guadalupe Loaeza, a prominent Mexican columnist. "We think he's really a nightmare."

The longer he floats atop the polls, the more Donald Trump has started to make people here feel a bit queasy, forcing them to contemplate whether his candidacy is really something they need to worry about. As Trump published his immigration proposals this week, Mexicans expressed growing concern about his bid for the Republican nomination....

There’s a real danger that Trump will energize the illegal vote-not that the Democrats haven’t made an effort to do so already. ACORN has only changed its name and become more cautious.

When I used to go into WalMart the illegal aliens would be parading through the store taking up the aisle and making sure everyone knew they were there their children unsupervised pulling things off the shelves and opening packages and eating cookies etc and just dropping the rest or hiding them behind other things..(useless to report them the managers were too scared to do or say anything..)

the illegal alien parents would sneer at Americans and laugh scornfully and smirk..

now theres not as many and they slink silently around and shop and quickly leave..

I had to look for them when I went yesterday.. LOL

THANK YOU, DONALD !!!

I can see today's reporters going to Tokyo in early 1945 and talking to people about that "scary" Doug MacArthur and his plans.

Ding, ding, ding - we have a thread winnah!

today’s reporters would have called D-day a fiasco.

heck, walter Cronkite would have called it a fiasco if he had the internet.

(we already had the NYT leaking military information that helped the enemy)

That’s cool. They’ve been scaring nice Americans for over a decade now. Go home if you’re worried.

No, illegal aliens expressed growing concern about his nomination. People who came here legally are applauding it. And they are the ones that vote.

STEP ONE:

Cross check all 'undocumented immigrants' receiving government benefits with voter registration roles. All those who have committed felony elections fraud should have all government assistance ended immediately. If they are working their employer should be notified that his daily fines will also begin immediately.

(My guess it that the subsequent self deportation would be rapid and significant.)

STEP TWO:

Take all illegals serving time in federal prisons, state prisons and county jails, transfer them to labor camps along the southern border and put them to work building the wall. When they are done release them on the other side.

“the illegal alien parents would sneer at Americans and laugh scornfully and smirk..”

When I lived in California, illegals often tried to cut in front of me in line. They only tried it once : )

Far more than for Mexicans, Trump’s candidacy is absolute terror for the Democrat Socialist Left who are counting on the continued uncontrolled influx of illegals to replace the millions upon millions of black babies who won’t be born and won’t grow up to vote because of the policies of the Democrat Socialist Left.

So I got this TRUMP bumper sticker on the back of my car. And there are a lot of illegals in Northern VA. I can somewhat pick them out and often position my car so the can read the sticker. It's really having an effect.

On the beltway the other day, the car with what looked like illegals, nearly came to a halt in an effort to put distance between it and myself - hilarious.

Today at lunch, I had to make a business call and pulled into a gas station. There was a truck parked with what looked like two illegals laying on the grass island next to their vehicle. I looped around the station and parked right in front of their vehicle with my TRUMP sticker, clearly visable. I then started to make my call - within two minutes they were in their vehicle and down the road. LOL !!!!

Why not just adopt the same immigration and citizenship laws as they have in Mexico?

Mexico has birthright citizenship.

when they try that with me I very loudly tell them “illegal alien get to the back of the line we don’t do that here in America I could care less how you act in Mexico”

that does at least 2 things or more

1. the illegal alien quits his pushing in line

2. the Americans stare at the illegal alien until he moves..

3. it starts a conversation amongst the American citizens about illegal aliens needing to go back home to Mexico..

4. the illegal aliens stand at the back muttering in Spanish and someone amongst the American crowd will interpret for the others..

I’m not surprised most Americans applaud what Trump is doing and saying..

we are all relieved that at last we have a leader who has a public and national mic..

“when they try that with me I very loudly tell them “illegal alien get to the back of the line we don’t do that here in America I could care less how you act in Mexico””

I like this: “ Hey guy/gal you picked the wrong guy to cut in line on. I won’t take this from an American, let alone an illegal alien like you!”

Works great.

1/3 of the Mexican population lives in the US and are a source of cash dollars in the Mexican economy all the while relieving the Mexican Government from having to provide social benefits/relief for these people. Handing them pamphlets on how to get into the US and apply for benefits here is not a solution to the wide spread corruption there......

Deporting the illegals to Mexico and/or Central America will devastate those country’s economies.

TP “Tough Poop” These countries are corrupt socialist hellholes but we’ve carried them long enough. It’s time they bellied up to the bar and took care of their own citizens. Cut all aide $$$$ until they do! (cut it completely to all is my preference) Just maybe they’ll have to drop their socialistic rhetoric and reform themselves. Get a guillotine for their corrupt leaders.

Enough is enough.

* To those that say “but, but, but they’re hard workers” I say “Good, they’ll be needed back home to rebuild their own countries.

Sorry, but in California their is NO impediment to illegals to both register and vote. They can and do vote here. It’s one of the m any reasons we’re circling the bowl.......it won’t cure all the problems , but will go a long way to helping...........
