    Hey Steve.. El Paso is were we shop; Mom, my brother and his family and my son and his family all live there.. and I live on the border further down river.. and what you say about El Paso is true here also.
    BTW.. the Mexicans are getting tired of invaders from the south too.. Hondurans, Salvadorians and Guatemalans are causing problems in Mexico.

    Trump is a crude New Yorker who offends everyone equally. If certain groups feel singled out, it's on them.

    A bunch of illegals or relatives of illegals are not happy?

    I would be glad to pick up their one way Uber tab from El Paso to Mexico.

    Good for you and you shouldn't. And I'll give credit where credit is due. Thank you for at least admitting that racism has no color or political demographic. It's pure unadulterated hatred that can be white, black, brown, yellow, democrat, republican, independent, gay, straight, transgender etc....

    That's alright.. I don't need a lobbyist interpretation of the second amendment anyhow. The founders spelled it out well enough in the Bill of Rights. And answered any outstanding questions regarding its principle in the Federalist papers (James Madison's #46).

    Why is this Latino "Community" not lashing out at Al Gore? This murderer had Eco-Terrorism as a primary motive per his manifesto. Why is this being ignored by Leftists and the MSM and the Democratic Party?

    Propaganda is something nowadays. Leftists just eat it up and regurgitate it to forward their ideology without thinking of the whole truth.

    ^^^^ Yep!

    Those talking about the 2nd Amendment and have not read the Federalist Papers are just speaking from a place of ideology and ignorance.

    Read the manifesto, there's no incendiary language within. The manifesto is dispassionate and dead pan. It's delivered without emotion and has a detached disassociated feel.

    IMO The author was either on psychotropics or wasn't the shooter. But nevertheless the delivery wasn't incendiary.

    Read the manifesto and let me know what you think.

    BS he's flat out said he wanted to increase the visa program, which is great. I bring 15 over every year on the HB1 visa, I'm required to have them approved housing which is clean and stable, having clean and working water and toilets. It guarantees a legal wage and we know exactly who's coming here doesn't have a criminal record. I pay transportation to and from.
    The left has made this a racist argument, you literally would rather anyone who doesn't have documentation come over and let them roam the border towns streets with no place to stay, no food, no water no f'ing nothing. What could possible go wrong? You be honest and tell me which one is more humane, the HB1 visa requirements or the left fend for yourself model.

    For blaming the scapegoat instead of the person responsible. Yes I can. Donald Trump didn't do anything to cause this. The shooter did.

    Leftists are like buzzards waiting for someone to die to twist it into a political move. And you wonder why Trump was elected.

    I would ask you how you sleep at night after feasting on the corpses of the innocent but that's just what devils do.

    And this serves what purpose? Hodgkinson had a list of republican congressional that CNN posted that were against liberal healthcare reform. CNN surely has their opinion (which is wrong) but surely they should not be held accountable for that of a horrible person... I surely hope you thought Hidgkinson was a horrible person that was evil???

    No, he said he wanted to review the program. If you look at what he actually tried to do he tried to reduce the number of people who come through on the program.

    He built a motte on top of his motte, and then built another one on that.​

    It only matters there because they're politically expedient.

    People get murdered everyday and it doesn't so much as make the news. But people get murdered and you can blame Trump it is an international incident.

    Do you still wonder why he was elected?

    Yeah, it's so ridiculous when an Islamic extremist kills people and everyone gets into a huff. It's like, c'mon guys, people die every day.

    First racist assumption: All immigrants are Latino.

    Second racist assumption: All illegal immigrants are Latino

    Third racist assumption: Any critique of illegal immigration is racist if its by a white man.

    Forth racist assumption. 4 women represent their entire races and not themselves or their own words.

    The only way to buy into your claim Trump's a racist is by making incredibly racist assumptions about not only immigrants and illegal immigrants but to assume any critique by a white man means they are racist with no evidence to support yourself other than your racist assumptions about his skin color. Trump has never merged all immigrants with illegal immigrants. Trump has never called out a race and claimed they represented all legal or illegal immigrants.

    Since you answered my question I'll answer yours about the manifesto. He was openly stating that races should be separate and that there should be no intermarrying of the races. That is racism in its purest form.
