Re: An outsider's perspective
In a rational world, yes. But we are speaking of the law, and the law is an ass. SCOTUS might decide it means a citizen not born by c-section.

Someone needs to understand statiscal significance.
Four out of ten African-Americans would vote for Trump.
Literally. They asked ten African-Americans and four said they'd vote for Trump.

One of them sits in a lawn chair with his gun. He's primed and ready!
Oh, and all the while he is covered by a tarp.
Some of them are definitely many sandwiches short of a picnic.

Law enforcement is trying a hands-off policy. Way off. The Bundy Bunch come and go.

Trump has also forwarded several white supremacist tweets.

Re: request for verification of fact
You wrote:
To translate "illegal immigrants are going to have rapists among them and I happen to know of cases of rape by illegal immigrants" into "Mexicans are rapists" is a really really sad failure of thought.
Donald Trump said:
quote:
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.
Yeah, he acknowledged that a few of them probably aren't rapists. But he's not sure. And he didn't say anything in the vicinity of "illegal immigrants are going to have rapists among them and I happen to know of cases of rape by illegal immigrants". You didn't misquote him, you made it up or copied it from someone else who made it up.

Re: request for verification of fact
As I said I haven't followed all the ins and outs of this current political process and I don't read twitter, so honesty requires you to reproduce the supposed "white supremacist tweets" to which you refer.
Did it occur to you to click the link and read them? Or is that far too much effort?
Note the handle of the original tweeter. WhiteGenocideTM. His avatar is George Lincoln Rockwell, prominent American neo-Nazi. AFAIK nobody has turned up his real name.
And my favorite:
Do you need someone to tell you that there is no such thing as the "Crime Statistics Bureau"? Or that those figures are faked? OK, Trump's Pants on Fire tweet that blacks killed 81% of white homicide victims

Re: request for verification of fact
You've proved nothing against Trump with your post
I contended and proved that he, Trump, retweeted several obvious white supremacist tweets, and unthinkingly passed on false information from one that is easily detected as false by the most cursory inspection.
Guess you think that's Presidential behavior.
