I don't agree with any of the bullshit regarding our southern border and the idea of building a "wall" (didn't we label the Soviet Union as "evil" because of the Berlin Wall just a couple of decades ago?).
And there was no problem on the border until the U.S. "War On Drugs" drove the Colombian Cocaine cartels out of business and the operations moved north to Mexico.
Having said all that...I don't get what the big deal is.
Trump only talked about ILLEGAL immigrants (which is still bullshit in my opinion).
And aren't ILLEGAL immigrants the big boogeyman to our South that is supposedly destroying the country?
At least that is what the media has been pushing (including NBC) for the past 10 years.
And now suddenly I'm supposed to believe that every LEGAL person of Hispanic origin is angry at Donald Trump for calling illegal immigrants "rapists"?
WTF?
I don't believe that for one second.
I don't think that U.S. citizens of Hispanic descent identify in any way, shape, or form with the criminal element of their race.
That would be like me and every white guy in the world getting offended at somebody saying that white criminals have a percentage of them that are rapists.
Woopty doo.
I think this is more of a media and special interest groups whipping up a sense of indignation.
I'm in a band with a couple of people who are 100% Hispanic. And neither of them were offended. And they said that no one in their families or circle of friends were either.
Having said all of that...Trump and all the other politicians that want to build a wall have NO support from me.
It would be like going back to alcohol prohibition and saying that building a wall around Chicago would have stopped the mafia from selling illegal booze.
The real problem is the War On Drugs.
