Trump says Hispanic Americans have an 'inherent conflict'

Post Reply New Topic

Yes, he is demonizing Latinos, as fewer of them commit crimes as compared to Americans. Trump is just pandering to people's prejudices by making an unpopular group scapegoats. And seriously, how many Americans are going to work back breaking migrant jobs, that don't pay workers what they're worth, and that offer zero benefits? Illegals in fact pay taxes, and don't reap benefits, all the while doing jobs the rest of us would be out of our minds to do.

So what? It's normal and healthy to prefer to live around your own kind.

"Those people secretly believe X" wails the liberal Kraichgauer, "I can't explain what's bad about X, but they're bad and I'm good because I say so, so there."

Well, living in a pluralistic society like America tends to make it tough to just live with your own kind.
And if x is racism, or some other sort of bigotry, then I can definitely tell you why it's wrong.

Trump is probably going to inspire more young Hispanics to register to vote, thereby increasing their turnout.

Well, St Augustine had said something to the effect of: in evil, there's always a little good. The increase in Latino voter registration is the good coming out of a bad situation.

By Trump's logic, any time you don't like a judge you can just say something critical of some association of that judge et viola! Instant 'conflict of interest' in the judge...

At least, here, you admit X, so we can move past the "denial" stage.

It is normal to want to live with your own kind, not healthy in that it makes youn less experianced and more vulnerable to group think.

"Hispanics are secretly demonizing me because I am publicly demonizing them! Waaaa...poor me."

When will folks learn that only Trump has the divine right to demonize people?

Jeeze!

Trump is inspiring a lot of resident aliens to become citizens so they can vote against him.

Ha! Have a look at how we handle non-violent protesters:

Fallout 1 brings back memories.

The video doesn't show it, but I always remember the part when they open the vault, and un-expectantly slaughter the people.

"Welcome to the brutality"

As senator, Hillary voted numerous times to build a wall with Mexico: What's the difference between what she did --voting to build the wall-- and what Trump wants to do now?

"he is demonizing Latinos, as fewer of them commit crimes" I'd like you to prove this. People that say things like this are missing the point.

First remember the Mexican government will only "vet" people on a legal track for entry. So the argument is illegals are just like (or similar) to the general population...so if the general population in the U.S. is 10% criminal then the Mexicans will not be higher.....what kind of asinine stupidity is this??????

This means of the 10 million or so illegals then ONE MILLION are criminals....rapists and thieves... and this should somehow make me HAPPY? Until this number is brought down I'm totally against illegal immigration...even if for no other reason.

"And seriously, how many Americans are going to work back breaking migrant jobs, that don't pay workers what they're worth, and that offer zero benefits? Illegals in fact pay taxes, and don't reap benefits, all the while doing jobs the rest of us would be out of our minds to do.

And here you seem to be trying to defend the additional illegality of people trying to take advantage of these illegals. Have you done manual labor? I have. I've worked with every color and nationality and I'll say a man with a family who needs to put food on the table will have no problem doing manual labor....I don't care what color he/she is. You may not have the experience to understand this, but the statement you pass along about race or color and not wanting work, is very very racist.

And you seem to be saying that it's good for illegals to sneak into this country so illegal employers will have people to grind down.

The answer/solution the government ignores (being in cahoots with these huge agri-businesses) is comprehensive immigration reform that allows workers some dignity. But how much "press" do you see this idea getting? Please don't add to the misunderstanding...it just slows progress/reform.
