Hillary Clinton Calls Out Trump and Rubio on Immigration

Trump’s domination of the Republican Party has brought its establishment, represented by center-right and moderate sentiment, to a near-apoplectic state. Where his critics see bigotry, they see common sense.

Personally, I would guess that the Trump threat is an empty one. The numerous other immigration provisions in his platform include ending birthright citizenship, and tripling federal deportation personnel to remove an unspecified share of the 11 million people without legal papers.

As the “reasonable” new Democrats eschewed economic populism and threw in with the neoliberal corporate order, as Thomas Frank has observed, more and more extreme expressions of conservative ideology became acceptable political discourse in the Republican party, particularly some of the more odious manifestations of right-wing “backlash populism” that were merely veiled forms of xenophobia, racism, sexism, homophobia, and reactionary nationalism.

“Donald Trump could be a recruitment poster for ISIL, because he is fanning the flames of hate”, Cuomo said.

We as Muslims owe no one an apology even if we can’t live without the baggage that some who profess to be “of us” are creating chaotic situations across the world, regrettably so.

Asked about who he was talking about, Trump said “you know who it is”.

He instead said he believed he would make a “very popular” president.

Trump must “revise his comments about witnessing thousands of Muslims celebrating in New Jersey on 9/11”, said Wayne Madsen, who is also an author and columnist specializing in intelligence and worldwide affairs.

Trump, whose mother was Scottish, has spent years fighting the installation of 11 offshore turbines within sight of his Trump International Golf Links in Aberdeen, Scotland, arguing they would be a blight on the coastal landscape.

Cullen said he hopes the whittling down happens “organically”. And in South Carolina, Trump is up by an average of 10 to 12 points in the polls. I mean, this is just off the spectrum of not only global opinion, but even relative sanity. That’s absurd. And I know you’re doing the right thing by asking the questions, I’m not opposed to that. Maybe more people bought into that whole “Jimmy Carter banned Iranians during the hostage crisis” thing than we thought.

Trump’s comment last week about the need for the USA to institute a “total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States” prompted 37 MKs, including two from the coalition, to sign a letter calling on Netanyahu to cancel his meeting with the billionaire candidate.

Bingo. Trump doesn’t care if his proposal to apply a religious test to anyone entering the country, while banning all Muslims, is blatantly unconstitutional and antithetical to basic American values.

As the week progressed, Trump began to fill in additional details.

The new poll was taken in the days immediately after Trump came under perhaps the heaviest criticism of the campaign. And now against Muslims, all of whom he brands as terrorists and wants to keep out of the country, “until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on”.

Trump: Am I talking or are you talking, Jeb?

“He’s always one step ahead of all the other politicians in pointing out a problem”, he said. And 68 percent of those supporters say they would support him as an independent.
