    No, I didn't read the entire transcript from the press briefing, which I now know is where you got it from. If you DID read the entire transcript, then you have ALOT of free time.

    Why are you citing this?

    I never CLAIMED that Cubans are being singled out for political purposes. I merely posed a question. Do you have an explanation for the radically different messages below?

    To the Mexicans he said: "We are not saying, Don’t come. We are saying, “Don’t come NOW!"

    And to the Cubans, he said: "The time is NEVER right to attempt migration by sea."

    Captured in US waters?

    What conspiracy theory are you attributing to me? Meanwhile, you STILL haven't backed up your conspiracy theory that Republicans are conspiring to suppress the vote! I gave you the opportunity to support your theory in another thread, but you just couldn't do it!

    Yes. Obviously. The above quote does NOT give any context which would make my point invalid.

    He clearly gave this statement in response to what is going on in Cuba and maybe a little bit to do with Haiti too.

    Can you support these two points?

    Yes, it's a good message, but why is he limiting it to SEA? Wouldn't the message, NEVER attempt entry by LAND, also be a humanitarian one?

    I'm guessing that you mean the 1995 revision of that Act: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet_feet,_dry_feet_policy

    That quote isn't referring to people who enter illegally, it is referring to asylum seekers who enter through the ports of entry.

    Essentially they're telling them to wait in line and go through the proper process

    Yeah, I didn't SAY that it was referring to people who enter illegally. The point is that he only addressed the people who arrive at the ports of entry. Where was his message to the many people who are considering illegally crossing the border? It can be summarised as follows:

    What he said to the Cubans:

    "The time is NEVER right to attempt migration by sea."

    What he did NOT say to the Mexicans:

    The time is NEVER right to attempt migration by LAND.

    Exactly, but where was this message to the Cubans who want to go through the proper process? It can be summarised as follows:

    What he said to the Mexicans:

    We are not saying, “Don’t come.” We are saying, “Don’t come now because we will be able to deliver a safe and orderly process to them as quickly as possible.”

    What he did NOT say to the Cubans:

    We are not saying, Don’t come. We are saying, come in the legal way because we will be able to deliver a safe and orderly process to them as quickly as possible.

    Dailycaller is yet another fringe site without a need to tell the truth.

    If you had reason to believe that the story is fake, you would have already presented an argument! :roflol:

    You must have missed the article I posted. There is no data on illegals voting in significant numbers in fact it is a rare occurrence since non-citizens can't vote in a federal election..also include the fact that both Repubs and Dems both have Hispanics in office and you will find the trend of Hispanic voters is starting to lean more towards the GOP.

    Trump's gains among Latino voters shouldn't come as a surprise. Here's why.
    Republicans have garnered over 40 percent of Latino support in previous races, and Trump's messaging — and frequent, targeted outreach — resonated with more Latino voters.
    https://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino...atino-voters-shouldn-t-come-surprise-n1246463

    But then you never did prove any Hispanic that is an undocumented immigrant ever voted.

    As far as the Democrats are concerned they are all asylum seekers as long as they vote Democrat.

    I don't know how you missed it, but I said "illegal immigration" provides a steady flow of income to cartels. One cannot claim they oppose the atrocities cartels inflict on innocent people while supporting policies that strengthen them.

    You are responding to the wrong person. The poster I responded to is the one who brought up being abuse and sexual assault.

    Huh? What does voter suppression have to do with immigration? I back up every word I say in the thread that I say them. Looks like your conspiracy theory having failed, you are desperate to change the subject.

    Would it?

    Cubans more tend to oppose authoritarian collectivism. That is the only difference.

    I didn't miss it. It just makes absolutely no sense. But I'm not interested in what conspiracy theory some wingnut got into your head.

    You have one again come to the discussion without researching easily found facts. Illegal immigrants are a commodity for cartels. I am surprised you were not aware of that.
