Really, what he's saying is not far out of line. He just said it in the worst possible way...

Same thing without the craziness.
I voted for Ross Perot but, it was before he claimed Ninja's invaded his home in Texas. I thought he was the best candidate given the choices.

I loved Ross even after he went off the deep end. His intentions were good and he gave the country an needed education on debt and deficits. That practically makes him heroic in my mind.

He was right about one thing. The most important thing. The "great sucking sound."

Yep. 100% right. It took me quite awhile to figure that out. I assumed there would be mutual benefits to free trade. There probably are, but not until you've already gutted the United States and everyone else catches up. So maybe in 50 years? I didn't even read any of this latest trade deal and I was against it.

Nothing wrong with free trade as long as it's fair trade. But with multi-national corporations playing both sides of the fence...it ain't.

Looks like Trump can turn this NBC mess into his favor, by still putting the Pageant on anyway, if that happens makes him look good and NBC the bad one.........

The point is that Trump told the truth. Of course the ultra politically correct NBC couldn't handle the truth. It wasn't even on a news show. By the way, Lyin Brian started at MSNBC back when Imus was there.

So Mexicans are Rapists, Huh? Of course during the last year, almost no Mexicans have come to the US. More Mexicans actually went home than came. The illegal immigrants coming to the US now days is from Central America. But then the truth has never stopped Trump or the people who support him. Although others have done it since, Trump is the first major player to go broke running a casino. That still boggles my mind. What is it about the conservatives and their love of bad business people?

I would sure like to see some data on that. A long time ago Ralph started a thread called "So you don't want to deport them". It is filled with crimes committed by the Mexican border jumpers.

Maybe not rapists, but every single Mexican (or Central American or any other geographical area) that crosses the border illegally IS a criminal by default. Yet they are courted by the Democratic party, so every effort is made to decriminalize their criminal act, at the very least through the court of public opinion. This is despicable and leads to nothing positive.

Coulter says the data backs up Trump.

"As Coulter points out in “Adios, America” and noted to Breitbart News, “the evidence indicates that they’re sending a lot more than” just two rapists.

“Child rape used to be an incredibly rare crime in America,” she explained. “Not anymore! In some Hispanic neighborhoods in the the United States of America, police have given up on even prosecuting statutory rape. It’s a ‘cultural thing.’”

Coulter’s book looks at the prevalence of such crimes — noting that the Centers for Disease Control have reported Hispanic children are seven times more likely to give birth between the ages of 10-14 than white children or 1.4 out of every thousand to 0.2 per thousand.

Breitbart News, for example, has reported that ICE deported over 860 sex offenders from the state of Texas during the first half of FY 2014, 27 percent of who were convicted of sex crimes against children. According to ICE, Texas has removed more than 2,000 sex offenders every year over the past three years.

On drugs, Coulter is equally unequivocal, saying “there’s no question that the majority of heroin and meth in the U.S. is being brought in by Mexicans. See the NYT, Forbes magazine and a billion other mainstream media articles on the topic over the years.”

The Washington Post, for example, reports that Mexico and Columbia “account for more than 90 percent of the U.S. heroin supply, and nearly all of it is smuggled into this country by Mexican traffickers.”

And as FBI reported in 2013, Mexican Transnational Criminal Organizations work with U.S. based gangs most often to traffic drugs, “as drugs provide the primary source of revenue for US-based gangs while MTCOs control most of the cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, and marijuana trafficked from Mexico into the United States.”

Coulter points out that while the evidence surrounds, the government is not good at collecting or disseminating specific statists about immigrant crime.

“Why don’t we know exactly how many drug dealers in our prisons are foreigners? Why is our [government] refusing to tell us how many immigrants have been convicted of rape or murder in the U.S.? The [government] won’t tell us and the media cover up immigrant crime, while broadcasting every immigrant who wins a spelling bee. the facts that exist suggest that the immigrant crime wave is enormous,” Coulter wrote, pointing out that her book elaborates on those points."

Let's take a look at the LAPD ten most wanted and more......

I see a pattern............

btw, from Coulter's book, she points out other immigrant crime stats from Hmong to others....... from what I read. I am going to order the kindle version. I normally don't buy all these books, by the conservative author machine. But this one intrigues me

Looks like profiling to me.

On the subject of Coulter, the following is from a column she wrote in 2005.

Quote:
After pretending to consider various women and minorities for the Supreme Court these past few weeks, President Bush decided to disappoint all the groups he had just ginned up and nominate a white male.

So all we know about him for sure is that he can't dance and he probably doesn't know who Jay-Z is. Other than that, he is a blank slate. Tabula rasa. Big zippo. Nada. Oh, yeah ... We also know he's argued cases before the Supreme Court. Big deal; so has Larry Flynt's attorney.

But unfortunately, other than that that, we don't know much about John Roberts. Stealth nominees have never turned out to be a pleasant surprise for conservatives. Never. Not ever.
