Did Santorum mention at all if he feels Hispanic illegals are smelly?

Republican right wing white Nationalism…Jeb Bush and Trump agree on that one. Nationalism is a Republican virtue.

The Republicans are all on the same page when it comes to RIGHT WING NATIONALISM! The same happened in Germany leading up to the rise of Hitler, the Nazi’s, and the Holocaust.

Since most African-Americans were enslaved and dragged to the US before Santorum and Trump and most of us other whites we here, maybe we need to gather up ourselves and the white Republicans and be deported back to Europe.

Bad intent, you weirdo? The people who hire undocumented workers break the law with the intent of saving money that would otherwise have gone to citizens and legal immigrants. The undocumented people are here, for the most part, to help feed their families. So the question of whose intent is badder is an interesting one. In other words, shut up, you freak.

“we have a serious problem of illegal immigration in this country that is undermining American workers.”

Whereas Wal-Mart’s reducing its U.S. tax payments by $3.5 billion via offshoring of $76 billion in profit in tax havens in Luxembourg and other countries where it does no business has no negative effects on American workers at all. It’s a mere coincidence that so many of Wal-Mart’s employees are so poorly paid that they have to resort to public assistance to get by.

Frick! In what tanning bed did Santorum overstay his welcome? Some of these pasty-by-nature guys (and I’m one of them) need to stop it with that glazed-bbq appearance. Did Boehner start something here? Remember, Palin used to (still does?) tanning-bed herself for health purposes, she said. Or are they just trying to “appear” less white? Trump is all red, too. Just an observation.

I believe that Santorum is self-basting.

Keep talking, Frothy, just continue talking. I have no doubt that Hispanic media outlets will keep this subject alive all the way to Nov. 2016. And, of course, that can ONLY benefit the GOP.

Hell is getting a little hot, eh? Sunblock won’t work on those flames, Mr. Santorum.

Of course, if he’s roasting in his own “juices” (as in santorum), I guess besides the more than noticeable odor, one might fully expect him to be browner than the rest.

Santorum doesn’t have a clue and is just beating a different drum to the same tune within in the same band as Trump.
If these guys were toiling away for pennies a day in Mexico they’d risk entering America, the land of opportunity, to make a better life for themselves and their families too. Blaming the workers is just the Republican way.

As MattinPA said above, it is the employers that hire undocumented workers and replace their neighbors and friends because of greed and the instant profit motive.
It is a trap though and after enough Mexicans move into a certain industry, that industry becomes dependent upon them and then the Mexicans have the leverage.
This is why I left CA and moved to CO in fact.

America as a whole isn’t focused on immigration and knows that we have bigger, more important issues. It’s just the typical wedge issue game that Republicans play to fire up their base so that they don’t focus on their Party’s truly dismal record and because it makes workers fight about workers as opposed to organizing against the bad employment practices.

Santorum is stale and so is the build a fence, hate the brown people, southern strategy by a different name, empty rhetoric of the entire Party. Trump is sinking like a lead bowling ball in a swimming pool and these goobers are kind of agreeing with him, that’s how devoid of ideas they are.

Santorum is prepping for his lead role as John Finley Horton in the remake of ‘Black Like Me’ on his Echolight Co.production to be released in time for the Republican convention. Rick will also be Executive Producer.

So now doing what you have to do to feed your family is “bad intent” Mr. Family Values?

Got it.

So, instead of using Trump’s words he would have said that “Mexicans take advantage of women?”

Isn’t that something? He disagrees with Trump on the facts but agrees on principal. Is it true that all the folks coming across the border illegally or undocumented are doing so to continue breaking the law once they arrive? He implied that. He hinted at that. But the fucking vote hustling coward didn’t come right out and say that and the “journalist” did not ask him to be clear.

As for jobs? Is it Mexicans or CEO’s that are causing job losses in the USA? Are we losing jobs to Mexicans or the Chinese? Fortunately this broken record has no chance at nomination.

The Rump is a racist fool, who’s no wronger about immigration than Santorum and every other Republican. Mexican and Central American workers are at least as big and lame a cop-out as the Chinese. American businessmen decide how much of what to produce or import. American businessmen decide what to sell at what price. American businessmen decide who to hire and how much to pay them. American businessmen decide who to lend how much money at what interest rate.

It’s about damn time people quit talking about markets in the passive voice like we have no idea why a kid needs a college degree to (maybe) be able to afford his own apartment.

Trump’s Godzilla-breath is doing horrible damage to the underpinnings of Republican control of Texas. It brings forward the day when a Spanish speaker (Tejano-criollo Democrat from San Antonio with strong support from African-American democrats) sweeps to power in Austin. With a popular mandate, ideally an initiative-enshrined Constitutional amendment, to create a districting commission independent of the Legislature.

Watch Perry try to walk back Muscrat Godzilla. Watch the others gang up on Perry.

Who has the popcorn franchise? I want in.

“They’re coming in with the clear intent of breaking the law” would have been an outrageous statement pre-Trump.
