In Defense of Donald Trump: Donald Trump Raises Uncomfortable Truths

By David Paulin

Donald Trump enjoyed a surge in the polls after his allegedly "racist" remarks about how all that diversity from South of the Border is not all it's cracked up to be.  The brash real-estate tycoon and TV star has struck a nerve, saying things that America's political elites would never publicly admit, with two notable exceptions being Sen. Ted Cruz, the Texas Republican, and former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani. Both said Trump had made some good points, even if they were expressed in less than diplomatic terms.

 Trump's surge in the polls is being fueled by ordinary Americans. They are applauding or murmuring quiet approval because they probably live in areas that have gotten massive influxes of immigrants -- the majority from Mexico -- over the last decade or two. They know what the score is; that diversity has failed to provide the benefits that political elites said it would. They've seen public schools overwhelmed with non-English speakers, dumbed down, social problems increase, and crime go up -- and it all seems to have a Hispanic face as millions upon millions of immigrants have flooded over the border. Now at long last, they see Trump telling it like it is -- even if his remarks were undiplomatic and, well, not all that presidential.

Trump says many Mexican immigrants are losers -- part of Mexico's social problems that the country's elites are glad to “dump” on America. “When Mexico sends it's people, they are not sending its best,” Trump said. True or false?  Short answer: True…….They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists.” True or False?  Short answer: True…… Trump stirred particular outrage by stating that “rapists” are included among more than a few illegal immigrants from Mexico. True or false? Probably true…..The public discussion Trump has started is long overdue.... ....  To Read More.....

Why Trump is starting to lead in some polls - We have remained quiet because "what's the use?" And then along comes brash, rude, and wealthy Donald Trump, who expressed loudly what we have ourselves been stifling inside. More

Immigration Policy, Mexican Style, By Brian C Joondeph

Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush “has always had strong ties with Mexico” and “great respect and affection for our neighbors.” Jeb is also “indignant,” as “he takes Donald Trump’s remarks personally.” So here’s an idea. Let’s reform our immigration system Mexican style. This is how it might look based on Mexican immigration law.  Mexico welcomes only foreigners who will be useful to Mexican society, contributing to national progress. Doctors and engineers, yes. Rapists and murderers, no.  Mexican authorities must keep track of every single person in the country. How many illegals are in the U.S.? Who knows? Estimates are all over the place.  Foreigners with fake papers, or who enter the country under false pretenses, may be imprisoned. …Foreigners who fail to obey the rules will be fined, deported, and/or imprisoned as felons……illegal immigration is a felony…..Mexicans who help illegal aliens enter the country are themselves considered criminals under the law…..The Mexican constitution expressly forbids non-citizens to participate in the country’s political life…..denies fundamental property rights to foreigners….…denies equal employment rights to immigrants, even legal ones, in the public sector…. all immigrants move to the back of the line……are forbidden to own land in Mexico within 100 kilometers of land borders or within 50 kilometers of the coast…..To Read More….
