Whether or not what Trump said is offensive is a matter of opinion, whether what he said is factual or not isn't. People aren't entitled to false facts. Everything he's said is a 100% false, plus his solutions are horrible ideas.
Spending billions in revenue to build a wall, and on mass deportations, is not only a waste of money that wont work, it also causes civil unrest. Allowing work visas for countries that border us is a far cheaper solution, that is also great for the economy.

So telling it like it is ,is suddenly frowned upon ! Get real! It is refreshing we have someone like Mr. Trump calling
out the problems in America! Not only is the illegal crisis a problem but so are our elected officials who bow to
foreign countries that send them here! Vote them out and get a real go getter and job creator in the White House!
Mr.Trump is not perfect but he is better than the whole bunch we have there now!
A new Gallup poll reveals that Barack Obama’s efforts to diminish pride among Americans
in their heritage have resonated among Americans. Trump will reverse
that & he's badly needed to do so, and another big bonus of a Trump victory would be
having a beauty as the first lady we haven't had that in a long long time

Trump will take a financial bruising at the hands of the poitically correct nutjobs by expressing views
that other weak kneed candidates won't dare to. He's drawing his support from the
silent minority & I hope his campaign is successfull. He's hurting himself financially for those
tired of this relentless left wing turn away from the country we all used to know.

would it be better to build a strong America from within for a change? How many years have people been complaining about the inner cities and the crumbling infrastructure throughout the country? But yet some many have no issue with spending trillions nation building in Iraq.
80% of the women that leave to illegally try and cross the Mexican/US border are raped. That alone should be enough to support someone who finally has the balls to say what these chicken-shit-useless-politicians haven't got the courage to. And we all know why they don't. Their donors. Trump said what he said to ignite the discussion. Mission accomplished.
If anyone wants to pretend no bad guys are coming illegally into the porous border, then go ahead. (banging head on desk) Trump never said he doesn't want immigrants coming in. He wants to stop the bad ones. Who doesn't? Really. Who doesn't? He is listening to what the border patrol have been yelling to anyone that would listen for years. But only falls on deaf ears.
I wish more politicians has the courage to speak the truth rather the same ole political partisan bullshit.
I would say I know more hispanics than any other group. With the exception of one or two, the response I hear is "good for him" and "finally someone calls it right" and "these criminals he speaks about only gives the good ones a bad name".
The fact is, (how I see it) Latinos are probably the nicest people I know. No question. And I have traveled quite a bit. America is the greatest country in the world. Everyone wants to live there. Only a small number of hispanics are really offended by Trump's words. The vast majority understand and agree with it.
Frankly, rather surprising coming from a Canadian, as a large % of Canucks are thin skinned........
what is INCORRECT is this;
'No one should be offended by what he said.'
wrong. A good % of Mexican people were terribly offended.
http://www.nationmaster.com/country-info/stats/Crime/Rape-rate
Number of rape incidents per 100,000 citizens in different countries. Figures do not take into account rape incidents that go unreported to the police
14. USA 27.3
32 Mex 13.2
ugh
less reported rapes in Mexico than USA, dramatically so? huh?......what a minute is that because Mexico released their rapists to America?
......Mr.Trump any data to support?
I don't think that mass majority of hispanics agree with Trump at all, and most probably are offended at least a little. He offers no solutions. He's not going to end the debacle of US foreign policy, he will make it worse, he wants to be even more involved in nation building and invading other countries. On immigration he wants to build a wall, that's not going to make immigration safer for women. I agree with you though Scott, on ending BS over seas and spending that money here. I think immigration should be far easier for countries that border us (Canada and Mexico) than it is on other countries, these are our neighbors.
The war on on drugs is almost 100% responsible for border violence, including rape. He says nothing of that and just sees Mexicans. My wife's Mexican, most of my friends and family are. They're hard working, and very family orientated people with strong values. My father in law, his brother, and my brother in law, all came here illegally in the 80's. They're citizens now and all own businesses, a lot of Mexicans own small businesses. The GOP could get some votes if they focused on eliminating the red tape regulations in starting businesses, instead of focused on building walls and mass deportation. There is a free market solution to immigration, if the GOP would focus on that, they'd be able to expand their brand.

Mexicans are great people. Trump says that also. The USA is better off with having more citizens of Latino descent. They are hard working and so family oriented. I love it. Ya make it easier. Let more of the vast majority of the good ones into the States. Unless someone can come up with a better solution, I say build a wall. A good one. Improve the immigration department and make it easier for people to immigrate legally. So they can open bank accounts and not get robbed. So that parents of girls that want to come to the USA don't have to worry about their child getting raped or murdered or both. So that they don't have to pay criminals to smuggle them across.
With more legal people coming across becoming citizens. Let's fix all the bridges and roads that Trump wants to. That so many say they will but never do. Let's hire all the good people that immigrate legally into the country to do it!
You say he offers no solutions? What? Did you miss the part about building the wall? What solutions have other politicians made over the years? Just more kicking the can down the road is all.
always the silent minority speaks the loudest. And I don't mean ethnic minority. Obama on July 1st, 2015 in a speech called illegal immigrants "gang bangers". Yet, the far left never accused him of saying he meant all Mexicans were gang bagers. Hardly anyone criticized him for it. Rightfully so. Because most reasonable people know what he meant. He was making a point. If a conservative said the exact same thing, I bet it would be the lead story on all main stream media still today and for weeks to come.
His statements may be a little crude at times as he's a salesman & a showman but he is not
for sale like almost all the other candidates from both parties with the possible exception
of Bernie Sanders,
The public has to be tiring of politics as a whole but especially the new breed types
spewing focus group tested, teleprompter aided nonsense. Trump shoots from the hip,
you'll never see notes or a teleprompter around him. His enemies are doing his campaign
a big favor with their feigned outrage.
Trump at his showman best in his first NH campaign stop after his announcement, no teleprompter no notes.

Trump and the people that support him don't support our views on letting the mass majority of good Mexicans coming over. Most of these people view Mexicans as a cultural threat. Walls don't work, they only create unrest and cultural divide, (see Berlin). If Trump came out and said he wanted to expand work visas, to make it easier for good Mexicans to come over here and immigrate to fill jobs that rebuild this nation, he would have been heralded as a hero to Mexicans, while the majority in this thread that like him, would demonize him for that. If good people could freely migrate and the war on drugs was cut way back, most of the illegal immigrations problems would be solved.
Let's not forget that Rubio is against lifting the trade embargo and normalization with Cuba. Hello?
The following is a good read I think. No matter what side you're on. I can't believe 100% of the people aren't pulling for Trump.
Donald Trump Hammers Marco Rubio: ‘Zero Credibility,’ ‘Outright Lies’ to Sell Amnesty
JULY 4, 2015 9:00 AM
(Breitbart) – Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is holding nothing back after his 2016 rival Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) attacked his stance on immigration reform.
Rubio joined Democrats and liberals—as well as most of the mainstream media—in attacking Trump for calling out international criminals who exploit America’s weak and insecure border to get into the United States illegally.
“Trump’s comments are not just offensive and inaccurate, but also divisive,” Rubio said. “Our next president needs to be someone who brings Americans together – not someone who continues to divide. Our broken immigration system is something that needs to be solved, and comments like this move us further from – not closer to – a solution. We need leaders who offer serious solutions to secure our border and fix our broken immigration system.”
Rubio’s statement follows what Trump said about illegal aliens two weeks ago in his presidential campaign announcement speech. “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best,” Trump said then. “They’re sending people that have lots of problems… they’re bringing drugs, they’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”
Rubio joins people like Barack Obama’s 2012 presidential campaign co-chair and liberal actress Eva Longoria—who compared Trump to Adolf Hitler—and Univision programming president Alberto Ciurana–who compared Trump to Charleston, South Carolina, mass murderer Dylann Storm Roof. There are plenty of others throughout the mainstream media and institutional left who have slammed Trump as well, and some Republicans like former Texas Gov. Rick Perry and former New York Gov. George Pataki.
Sending out a link to a Breitbart California article detailing how one such illegal alien like the criminals Trump called out in his announcement speech allegedly murdered a woman in San Francisco on Wednesday, Trump launched his initial response at Rubio via Twitter: “Our Southern border is unsecure. I am the only one that can fix it, nobody else has the guts to even talk about it.”
“Our Southern border is totally out of control. This is an absolutely disgraceful. situation,”Trump added. “We need border security!”
“Where are the other candidates now that this tragic murder has taken place b/c of our unsafe border,” he added in another tweet. “We need a wall!”
In a fourth tweet, Trump sent a message directly to Rubio: “.@marcorubio what do you say to the family of Kathryn Steinle in CA who was viciously killed b/c we can’t secure our border? Stand up for US.”
In addition, a Trump adviser sent a lengthy statement to Breitbart News on Friday evening signaling that the real estate mogul isn’t backing down.
“Mr. Trump will never apologize for wanting the American people to have a secure border,” the Trump adviser said. “He is the sole candidate who will secure our broken southern border by building a massive wall. The American people deserve a wall to protect their safety, jobs and economy.”
In addition, Trump’s adviser told Breitbart News that his boss can’t wait to expose Rubio’s weakness on immigration:
“Rubio flip flopped on the bill for political expediency with the explanation that he could not expect President Obama to enforce it. Why would Rubio have given Obama this authority in the first place?” Trump’s adviser said.
Just this past weekend in New Hampshire, Rubio used several of the same talking points he used to sell the Gang of Eight bill to push a pathway to citizenship for illegal aliens. When asked if he supports a pathway to citizenship for those who broke America’s immigration laws, Rubio said: “I do.”
Trump has also been extraordinarily critical of the Obamatrade deal that Rubio voted for.
“Rubio’s dangerous amnesty bill and his recent vote for Trade Promotion Authority – after never reading the Trans-Pacific Partnership – show an unsettling truth,” Trump’s adviser told Breitbart News.
Trump’s team compared Rubio at that point to Obama himself—both of them, after all, were first-term U.S. Senators when they launched their White House bids.
“Rubio is a typical politician who is controlled by the special interests,” Trump’s adviser said. “The one-term Senator simply does not have the experience or judgment to be President.”
Trump’s adviser wrapped his statement to Breitbart News by noting that Trump will actually secure the border, unlike Rubio.
“Mr. Trump believes that a nation without borders is not a nation at all,” Trump’s adviser said. “Mr. Trump will never apologize for fighting for border security. It is common sense and will Make America Great Again!”
Trump is likely to turn the jets on Rubio, as Rubio continues sinking in the polls again—much like he did after he drove amnesty through the Senate last Congress. In an exclusive interview with Breitbart News in Trump Tower in New York City after his presidential campaign announcement, Trump said of Rubio: “I would say Marco Rubio is just not the guy.”
“Rubio is weak on immigration and he’s weak on jobs,” Trump said in a previous interviewwith Breitbart News. “We need someone who is going to make the country great again, and Rubio is not going to make the country great again—and neither is [former Florida Gov. Jeb] Bush.”

In addition, Trump’s adviser told Breitbart News that his boss can’t wait to expose Rubio’s weakness on immigration:
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) has zero credibility on securing our border. Nothing has been more “divisive” than the outright lies Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) used to try and sell his amnesty for illegal immigrants to the American people. Hard working Americans cannot depend on Senator Rubio to protect their jobs. Senator Rubio’s “Gang of Eight” bill, which was such an epic failure it never even came up for a vote in the House, would have given President Obama the immediate power to grant amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants.
Trump’s team seems ready to hone in on Rubio’s biggest weakness: That he worked with senior Democrats like Sens. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Dick Durbin (D-IL), and the now-indicted Bob Menendez (D-NJ) to put forward an amnesty bill last Congress. Rubio eventually backed away from his own bill after he tanked in the polls.
“Rubio flip flopped on the bill for political expediency with the explanation that he could not expect President Obama to enforce it. Why would Rubio have given Obama this authority in the first place?” Trump’s adviser said.
Just this past weekend in New Hampshire, Rubio used several of the same talking points he used to sell the Gang of Eight bill to push a pathway to citizenship for illegal aliens. When asked if he supports a pathway to citizenship for those who broke America’s immigration laws, Rubio said: “I do.”
But first we have to prove to the American people that illegal immigration is under control and today that lack of confidence has made it impossible for us to make progress on immigration reform. So the first thing we have to do is we have to pass real reforms that secure the border more secure than it is today, an entry-exit tracking system to prevent visa overstays, and we also need to create an Electronic Verification system for employers so they can verify that the people they’re hiring are legally here. We need to put that in place and show it to the American people and prove that illegal immigration for the future is under control. After we do that the second step is we must modernize our legal immigration system.
Today, legal immigration is primarily on the basis of whether or not you have a relative living here. In the 21st century it must be based on what skills you have or what you can contribute economically. After we’ve done those two steps, I believe the American people will be very generous and responsible about what you do with those who have been here a long time. I think the best approach is to have them come forward, undergo a background check, pay a fine for having violated our law, start paying taxes—and in return for all of that—they will get a work permit that will allow them to work and travel legally in the United States. That’s the only status they would be allowed to have for at least a decade.
Then assuming if after a decade they’ve complied with all of that then they would be allowed to apply for permanent residency just like anybody else would—not through a special path—and then of course once you have permanent residency depending on how you acquire it, within three to five years, you could apply for citizenship. That is a long path. But I do think it’s fair and reasonable. But we can’t even get to that third step I’ve outlined until we’ve done the other two things first. That’s just the reality of the political situation we have today in America.

i believe this to be true. respect.
he won't tone down.......let's wait for the debates...
Yep I agree with that too, he's definitely not for sale, and I don't think Bernie is either. Ron Paul is another that comes to mind. I know Rand Paul agrees with me on immigration, but does't have his old man's ball's to say it.
isn't that what Trump is saying? Rhetorical of course.
For years politicians mention it in speeches and it gets mentioned on the news for a second but soon forgotten. Sticking your head in the sand won't make it go away. If anything, he's brought the issue to the forefront. He said it in a way for people to actually stand up and listen. How refreshing is that?
