Honestly, I think this is a republican move to get the votes of the racist radical republicans. Just like the LGBT waging jihad remark that Ted Cruz made.

Here's a quote from his speech.

"The U.S. has become a dumping ground for everybody else’s problems. [Applause] Thank you. It’s true, and these are the best and the finest. When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people."

The speech goes on to say that it's not only Mexico that he's attacking, but also everyone from South and Latin America, and the Middle East. Well, congrats, Donald Trump. You get a free "fuck you" from me! Not that you care, you're rich.

Here's the full speech, because I've heard there's more bad things he's said.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_q61B-DyPk

This is the most racist and dumbest speech I have heard from him and oddly enough this is the kinda of speech you would hear on a South Park episode that is making fun of Donald Trump.

What's Trump's deal? I wanna punch this guy in the face. I don't think he understands that people come to America for a better shot at life. I mean, if I didn't make enough money in my home country to support my family, then hell
yeah I'd go to America to make more.

The fact that he just assumes that foreigners are a big problem is just stupid. America has already had had problems with rapists, drugs, crime, and whatever other evil there is long before an immigrant crossed here. Just because there are a few bad ones doesn't mean the rest are some horrifying beings out to destroy America. It simply ain't true. If anyone is problematic to America it's people like Trump and their ignorant/racist attitudes.

>>2 The sad thing about his speech is that he probably wrote it himself. It's shameful when he can't come up with anything better other than what sounds like South Park poking fun at him.. He may be rich but he certainly ain't smart.

I can't vote because I'm not 18 yet but if I could, my vote wouldn't be for him.

But is he talking about those who take the proper steps to get into this country legally, or is he talking about the ones that sneak past both checkpoints and border patrol in order to smuggle contraband? There have been major cuts to border control funding, leaving much of our southern border unguarded. Do you know what the current policy is for people caught trying to cross illegally?
They're arrested and taken to holding cells until such time that the Federal government can set up temporary housing. Each arrestee is then released on their own terms, with the condition that they return on their appointed court date. Approximately 27% actually return; the rest just disappear into the system. Don't get me wrong: I'm all for a revision of the US immigration laws, so long as it doesn't permit everyone from crossing, especially those who intend to smuggle undesirable material and contraband across the border.

>>4 I don't think he was too specific. Regardless of whether or not an immigrant comes to America legally or not, I don't think Trump should be accusing them all of being harsh criminals. Yes, you have the ones who are going to smuggle in drugs and who knows what into the country but not all of them are like that. Some just come to find work and send money back to their money. I agree that we can't take in EVERYONE that comes here but we should never blame them for the country's current problems. After all, we have everyday U.S citizens causing America issues. It ain't just immigrants, it's us as well.

Donald trumps position has been reached because he is connniving. this election is all really a joke to him because really what he is doing is adding fame to the name of donald trump. all this attention we are giving him is just goin to be good for his business so dont pay attention, yes he is racist, because right now thats popular.

>>6 Not sure how that helps, unless you can give logical correlations.

Donald Trump deals in Real Estate.

Please explain the racism-to-real estate correlation, because I fail to see that it exists at all.

http://money.cnn.com/2015/06/25/media/univision-donald-trump-mexicans/index.html

Univision cancelled Miss USA. The reason? Trump owns part of Univision, and the racist parts of this speech pissed them off.

They're one of the largest Spanish Broadcasters in America, and so they severed all ties with him. He's suing because they have a contract. He said he loves Mexicans and Mexico on Fox News. IT's all really weird. Just read it.

OH! Here's the article from when he said he loves Mexico

http://www.msnbc.com/jose-diaz-balart/trump-univision-cant-break-iron-clad-contract

He heard Univison is no longer being partners because of his comments and a performer for Miss Universe is not performing at all. Trump is trying to sue Univision for defamation

@Leigha Moscove
Univison is partners with him and they show his Miss Universe padgent

>>11 Meh, I didn't really understand the ties. There was only one article that explained why, and I didn't really get it. I don't really follow celebrities, so I just tried to make sense of what I read.

http://uproxx.com/tv/2015/06/nbc-fired-donald-trump-for-his-derogatory-statements-about-immigrants/

NBC has fired Trump for being an asshat.

Lol Donald Trump is still being racist saying he does not apologize and that its true. Also he thinks he is getting the hispanic vote and sadly is 2nd in the Republican candacy -_-. If he becomes president I moving to Europe, Canada, or Peru

>>14 Cairo is pretty nice this time of year

>>14 I don't wanna stay if he becomes president either lol. But being as I have nowhere else to go, I'm stuck.

Out of curiosity, how is Trump getting so popular? If so many people can't stand him, how is he gaining ground? It's weird how the people no one can stand somehow rise to the top. How many jackasses are going to vote for him????

imo, he's saying those insults to gain more attention. scumbag

>>16 That's a good point that I somehow missed...

I actually want him as a president. We need someone who actually knows business and will treat America as a business. Right now we're in a lot of debt, but out of many people he'd be able to pull us out from it.

>>19 Then he'd be better as an adviser. There's no way you think it's a good idea that he's also in charge of other, non-business matters like healthcare, food distribution, warfare...

Even just as an adviser I'd disagree. There are literally thousands of people who actually know business and who also aren't pricks and/or racist.

Plus, I don't want America to be treated as a business, because it isn't. The goal is not/should not be to make money at the expense of the citizens, the citizens are the end goal. Yes, we can't get by with just good thoughts. We need someone who knows business. But we also need that person to understand what the people of America want and what the majority of them are dealing with so they can improve it. I don't see that anywhere in Donald.

>>19 I'm not really an American so I don't know if I can have a say, but it's just as >>20 says. Certain services should not be up for profits and should not be run as business.

>>19 Trump is just a racist. Also, he is just full of himself who surrounds himself by yes-men. Actually use your brain before saying something, please. (no offence)

>>22
Offence is taken.
Implying I didn't use my head.

Plus to say America isn't a business shows your naivety to think it's anything but, >>20.

One reason people come here is because America is an open market, and without money, we fall, and we're currently falling due to the massive debt we've collected.

Well those are just his opinions.

I feel like Trump probably has tons of illegal immigrants working for him in some way, shape, or form. If he does, to call them drug dealers and rapists is pretty hypocritical. He makes me think of Stan from American Dad. The guy was all "Oh we shouldn't let immigrants in, especially if they're illegal." Then Stan tried to sell these teddy bears and ended up hiring a ton of undocumented immigrants. I picture Trump being just like that. The difference between Stan and Trump though is that Stan always ends up learning in some way while Trump continues to be ignorant.

Soooooo, why do people want a racist like him running the U.S? It will make us look way worse than how we already appear in some's eyes. I don't want him as president. He probably doesn't understand the diversity of America and if he doesn't like Hispanic immigrants, I don't want to know what he thinks of other races and newcomers.

I honestly don't understand why people misconstrue his words as being racist, essentially all he said was, "I don't want illegal immigrants crossing the border, especially if they're here to commit crimes." While there are some other issues that I disagree with him on, I wholeheartedly support this statement, even if he said it in an incorrect manner.

And also, please don't call me ignorant, or racist because of my previous statement. I happen to be friends with people from all ethnic backgrounds. Thanks for your time and understanding.

>>28 Okay, I was going to just reply to your previous post and I hadn't thought that you were racist, but let me tell you something. What you just said is the equivalent of saying, "I'm not racist, I have friends who are black." If you weren't racist, you wouldn't need to defend yourself.

>>27 What he said is that Mexico, South America, and the Middle East are intentionally sending over shitty people and laughing at us. He doesn't think that everyone from these races are bad, but he does think that everyone being sent over are.

Also, illegal immigration from the Middle East and all of South America isn't an issue. If he hadn't added South America and the Middle East onto his statement, what you said could be a valid point, but he didn't.

Update: Donald Trump says that he will win the Latino Vote.

http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016-election/donald-trump-i-will-win-latino-vote-n388696?cid=sm_tw&cid=sm_fb

>>29 I'm sorry that you took it that way. I had no intention of making anyone in any way believe I was racist, I've just been called racist because of my stance on this matter, so I felt the need to clarify myself. I should also state that, as humans we are all entitled to our own opinions, so go with what you think is right, and I'll do what I think is right. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

>>29 I just wonder what's going on in Trump's head. If he's saying all the racist stuff he is now, who knows what he'll say next. If saying the illegal immigrants are bad and the purpose of them saying it's for other countries to laugh at us gets him popular, you never know what he might pull to get those votes.

I don't believe all of the illegal immigrants being sent over are bad. Many of them just want to work which is very much understandable, especially when they don't have a lot of money opportunities back home. Yeah we'll always get some bad ones which is expected, but just as there are bad illegal immigrants, there are U.S citizens who are just as awful and sometimes worse.

>>30 So now Trump wants to build a wall between America and Mexico? Mexico is supposed to pay for a wall he built and not them? I don't know how that's going to work but okaaaaaaay. If he became the president and did build the wall, it won't stop people from trying to come over. They'll find some way to sneak in regardless.

If Trump thinks he can win the Latino vote, let him think it. When election time comes we'll know for sure if it becomes real.

@Thiamor (on another computer)
PS you do know he went bankrupt like 3-4 times right and also the Republicans now do not want him to participate in the debates http://www.cnn.com/2015/07/08/politics/immigration-republicans-2016/ I would love to see him him make a fool out of himself in the debate XD

>>23 Why are you trying to make money for a country in the first place?
It's for the people of that country.
If you lose sight of that and prioritize making the money over everything else, you aren't doing it right.
There's more to running a whole country than making money for it. Once you have it, you have to spend it right. Spending it right doesn't mean investing to make more money, it means investing in your own goddamn people. I don't feel like Trump is going to consider community programs or educational services a worthwhile investment. If he was going purely on returns, maybe it isn't. So that's why I think you shouldn't run a country like a business.

A business won't hire more people if there are other, better investments, like equipment, etc. A country shouldn't decide not to build schools because it can invest that money in a foreign country and make more money. A country should sometimes choose the monetarily inferior option for the benefit of the people. If a country chose the better investment for dollar value every time, I don't think that would be better.

It's more complicated than a business. Plus, there's more than just acting as CEO if you are President.

Do not get me wrong, we need a President with good business skills. I do not disagree with this. However, I think you cannot be the President if you only have good business skills. There's more to it.

>>32 But illegal immigrants are bad for the country. First, they're coming here illegally, which on its own is a problem. Also, a large portion of those illegal immigrants are committing crimes in the United States such as selling drugs, or human trafficking. I also don't think Trump is being racist as he said he "assumes some are good people", he's talking about those who actually take the time to come to America legally. Sorry if you think I'm coming off as rude, but I just want to state what I think, as you have stated what you think.

>Also, a large portion of those illegal immigrants are committing crimes in the United States such as selling drugs, or human trafficking.

I'm not really finding where that's said. If anything, I keep finding that a small percentage of illegal aliens are committing crimes and hold a large percentage within our Federal Prisons.

>>33
Actually he never went bankrupt, his businesses filed for a certain type not because they were losing money but because it helps them lower their debts.

>>34
why try? The fact we're in so much debt with other countries will in the end limit how much money you can make here..why is trying to lower that debt a bad thing?

>>35 While there are some who do bring illegal activities there are many who don't. Besides, we can't forget that we have many U.S citizens who create mety and other drugs so we can't blame the illegal immigrants for everything. There is a lot of fault on our part when it comes to crime. You didn't come off as rude to me at all so no worries bro.

Donald Trump is a joke. He has a less than 5% chance of becoming the Republican presidential candidate. He won't become president. Instead of focusing our attention on a piece of trash who doesn't know how to handle a campaign, let's talk about Bernie Sanders. If you're liberal, VOTE SANDERS!

There's a difference between being stupid and acting stupid. Donald Trump is not a stupid man. He is, in fact, a very successful businessman. He's had his great share of stupid ACTIONS, but who hasn't. But he is not stupid. As many of you have pointed out, his running for president is simply a business move to gain publicity. Very smart of him. And simply because of stupid actions in the past, many people are looking for any opportunity to jump on the "Donald Trump Hate" band wagon. And that's silly.
Do I support Donald Trump for the presidency? God no.
Do I agree with every statement he's ever made. Nope.
But that doesn't mean he's stupid. And this statement here, this speech he gives, it's not stupid either. Under a liberal presidency, border patrol funding has been cut. He is smart to focus on that. He is playing to his audience.
>>41 "While there are some who do bring illegal activities there are many who don't."
Really? We are talking about ILLEGAL immigrants, aren't we? The very act itself is illegal. That's the idea. And that's what our dear friend Donald here is getting at. It doesn't matter if they don't do any wrong once they're here. It was illegal for them to be here in the first place. I am all for immigration. Legal immigration. My great grandparents came here legally. So many of ours did. And Trump is for that too. But the fact that anyone can defend criminals is beyond me.
So no, I am not "rooting" for Donald Trump. I am rooting for a presidential candidate with similar views on border control, be that who it may. Because like or not, there is a lot of truth to that so-called "racist" speech of his.

Simply put:
Don't kill the messenger.
There is truth to the message even if you don't like the messenger.

Tbh I don't even think he's going to accept presidency, I think the goal is to simply stir some shit. Priez couldn't have explained it better. Though, if Trump wouldn't be targeting drug lords as a tactic of getting people on his side, and simply stuck with the border control, I think it would go smoother, as most are, as you said, using this excuse "While there are some who do bring illegal activities there are many who don't."
