How far is Mexico on the scale to slide into Pakistan territory where we just do what we want in terms of military strikes and just apologize later?

For a guy who they let escape out of pure incompetence after we caught him, I would think pretty low.

Trump or El Chapo? Because in case you haven't heard, one of them went to the Wharton School of Business. He's also very rich.

How do you know this? I'm pretty sure legal immigration is a new concept. In the early days of the Republic people pretty much just showed up.

Also, it seems like such a plant for Trump to be talking about this People magazine cover and then have this Latina get up on stage to praise him.

There weren't many Colombian's just showing up.
The first Colombian immigrants were probably among the few South Americans who settled in the United States during the nineteenth century (the federal census did not specify the country of origin for South Americans until 1960). Little is known about these settlers, who maintained no ties with their native countries and within a few generations identified themselves only as Americans. The first Colombian community formed when several hundred professionals, including nurses, accountants, laboratory technicians, pharmacists, and bilingual secretaries, moved to New York City after World War I; the population was later augmented by students who stayed on after earning their degrees. Most immigrants made their homes in Jackson Heights, a middle-class neighborhood in Queens, attractive for its proximity to employment in Manhattan and for its churches, comfortable houses, large yards, and fine schools. Known by residents as "El Chapinerito" (after Chapinero, a middle-class suburb of Bogotá), the neighborhood did not grow much until the 1940s, when New York City and Venezuela surpassed Panama in popularity as destinations among Colombian emigrants.
Although I am sure they have a quite large number of illegal immigrants as well. They also have a bunch that did it the proper and honorable way. That seems to be the split. Many of those who did it legally are Trump fans while unsurprisingly many who didn't don't like him. Of course they really shouldn't be voting anyway but it isn't a big secret that they have an effect on the election.
According to the federal Census Bureau, 43,891 Colombians were admitted to the United States in 1990 and 1991, more than from any other South American country. They also accounted for the third-largest group of undocumented immigrants (after those from Mexico and Central America). The influx has continued through the 1990s as guerrilla violence in Colombia escalated. Between 1992 and 1997, nearly 75,000 Colombians immigrated to the United States, with many settling in California. Such statistics figured prominently in debates about the effects of immigration, both legal and illegal, on the economy and even on society itself.

So you're saying, statistically, she is probably a legal immigrant? Who was then handed the People magazine so she could parade around the stage and talk about loving Trump. :pop:

No, I am saying almost certainly.

When you factor in being a Trump fan.

There are believe or not a number of them out there.

I'm guessing it's because he's not officially running for president, just for the nomination.

Yeah, looks like the rules are for candidates for public office, and everyone's currently running for the nominations.

(Also, it's possible they could offer similar opportunities to the other candidates, if the rule did apply)

I had to laugh at this YouTube comment:
Question to Trump: "Why do you hate women and minorities so much ?"

Question to Hillary: "As a champion of women's and civil rights, you seem very modest. Is it ever tiresome ?"

Trump intern on Twitter gaffe: It wasn’t me
An intern for Donald Trump’s presidential campaign won’t take the fall for a recent gaffe that came from the Republican frontrunner’s official Twitter account, International Business Times reported.

After a new Iowa Poll released on Thursday showed a dip in Trump’s months-long lead in the key primary state, a message insulting Iowa voters’ intelligence was retweeted from the real estate mogul’s Twitter handle. “@mygreenhippo #BenCarson is now leading in the #polls in #Iowa. Too much #Monsanto in the #corn creates issues in the brain? #Trump #GOP,” Trump tweeted on Thursday, according to CNN. The tweet was quickly deleted, and Trump posted a brief message blaming an intern for the tweet. However, one Trump intern fired back, seemingly denying interns had any access to Trump’s personal Twitter account. “As an intern for the internal headquarter campaign, we do not manage, or in that case, have any access to Mr. Trump’s personal Twitter,” the intern wrote in an email to International Business Times.

But according to Trump, he didn't say it. At best it's a wash.

Given his track record, regardless of who tweeted it I'd bet that the retraction is because of the dig at Monsanto rather than the insult to Iowa voters. :)

It's an idiomatic expression meaning that you break even, neither winning nor losing. In this case, I meant that you can't give Trump credit for dissing Monsanto, since Trump says he isn't the one who tweeted it.

Alternatively, a wash is what a Reaver uses to clean his spear. :ninja:

People say that Donald Trump was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and sure, there's some truth to that. But what they don't acknowledge is how he took that silver spoon and built it into the golden fork you see today.

He's got 10 times the number of silver spoons his father had, and they're gold plated. His father is an idiot and a pauper compared to him (and his inherited spoons).

Sick burn, Trumpie.
Donald Trump dismissed Tuesday President Barack Obama's mocking of the the GOP presidential candidates' criticism of the CNBC moderators in the last debate.

Trump, whose campaign decided to continue dealing directly with the TV networks rather than forming a united front with other presidential campaigns, said he "doesn't care too much" about the debate format, instead knocking Obama's handling of the country.
...
Of Obama's criticism, Trump added, "He can't handle the country. He's doing a terrible job running the country."
It's almost as if people are the problem.
