Trump and other Republicans are fearful of the growing Hispanic population because they believe that they tend to vote for Democrats. The irony is that Republican policies guarantee that that will be the case. Republican governor Pete Wilson fired up his Republican base with anti-immigrant policies in the 1990's. The result is that the Republican party lost influence in California.
Ethnic Cleansing? for wanting people to follow the laws of our country and prevent illegal entry in the future. Wow- I guess the left has used the word racist too many times it has lost its sting. Kurt shows us that the left is now using more derogatory terms such as ethnic cleansing to describe something that is legal and long overdue. Hard to have a discussion with people about immigration when the accuse of being racist and responsible for ethnic cleansing.
What a misguided message that is so far from reality! Ethnic Cleansing?! Please clean the garbage out of your mind.
