| Donald Trump, the outspoken critic of establishment Republicans, Tuesday blasted GOP efforts to clear the way for 11 million illegal immigrants to become U.S. citizens, mocking the party for thinking that its bipartisan effort will boost Hispanic support. "The Republicans will not get one vote from those 11 million people," he said. "I don´t care what they do, they can do whatever they want, they can be ´compassionate,´ they can be everything. Those 11 million are voting against and that´s another 11 million votes more

Comments: Sometimes Trump goes off the rails but he´s right on this one. Even Mark Levin gave him credit and agreed with him.

Unfortunately for the Republicans this time Mr. Trump is right.
The vast majority of would be legalized aliens, between 11 and 20 million of them, are poor, generally uneducated people, who are low wage earners, who have big families.
Once legalized and eligible, and with human nature being what it is, the vast majority of the legalized aliens are going to access as many of the forms of government financed social welfare and health care programs as they can in order to survive here.
The liberal Democrats are always telling those people that they intend to expand their access to those social welfare programs, and the Republicans are always attempting to contract those social welfare programs. So what political party do you think all those millions of legalized aliens will be voting for?
The US Hispanic voting bloc that already has been voting for the liberal Democrats at about 80%, is not going to vote for the wimpy Republicans because they followed the liberal Democrats lead and gave the liberal Democrats the political cover they need to push amnesty through the Congress, and affectively hand the liberal Democrats at least 10 million new voters in the years ahead.
The wimpy Republicans are flirting with committing long-term political suicide over the bogus thought of Hispanics flocking to them if they would only go along with another amnesty.

Trump is not mocking; he´s telling the truth to the gang who couldn´t shoot straight. Hey, fellows, "Ever heard the saying "1 in the hand is worth 2 in the bush"? you fools go along with this and you will lose your base. You will have placed a bulls eye on the back of every single member of your party. Double dare you

I think any Republican thinking of supporting amnesty has a death wish. Ohio´s Gov. Kasich apparently has been drinking some of that same koolaid since he agreed to expand Medicaid to go along with Obamacare - after the Tea Party and Conservatives went to bat for him. Somehow he must think this will curry some favor with dems next year when he´s up for reelection, but like the republicans with amnesty - it will gain him nothing and will lose the base.
They all must think the base has no where else to go, but they must have forgotten that millions stayed home instead of voting for Romney just 3 months ago.

Mexican bias against the GOP is racial. It will never go away. They laugh at GOP politicians begging for their votes. The Democrat party has very successfully branded the GOP as the rich white male party - and the GOP responded by nominating the richest white guy they could find. It won´t help them to nominate Rubio either. No wonder they´re called the stupid party. They kept the border open to get cheap labor, and now we are going to be overrun with people who hate european-americans. Thanks, GOP.

Trump was also wrong about Romney´s electability. Much he does not understand. Way I see it, those Latinos are mostly pro-life, and once the Democrats fully understand that, they will not want them in the party. What they will want is for the GOP to be the ones to keep them out, while the Donks pose as friends. We have absolutely nothing to gain from this game. Those are good people and I am happy to have them in the country, and whatever party they are in, will be the more sensible for it.

#6, Thinking that our southern neighbors are pro-life shows a lack of clarity about the culture we speak of. Read up. To the ´latino´, life is as cheap as it is to a palestinian. #5, it is not racial, IMHO it is ideological. To a culture that venerates the concept of ´manana´..(tomorrow, I´ll get to it tomorrow) an overarching Government that takes care of it(maybe manana, but Jose don´ haves to do eet) is paradise. Classic 80/20 paradigm. Sadly, the 80 is overwhelming the 20(who want to be here for the right reasons)

It’s a decision that will bruise egos, create legacies and deeply affect subsequent messaging battles. “Every time the bill is mentioned in the press, you either have a brand that´s positive or a brand that doesn´t mean anything or even hurts you,” said Frank Sharry, the executive director of the pro-immigration reform group America’s Voice.

President Obama is eager to build public support for his health care overhaul in the few months remaining before its implementation, but waning enthusiasm from Democrats threatens his effort right out of the gate. Two-thirds of Democrats now believe Obama´s health care reforms will either hurt them personally or have no effect on their daily lives, a Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday shows. In comparison, just 27 percent of Democratic respondents said the reforms would help them. The president has long struggled to convince independent and Republican-leaning voters that his health care blueprint would lower premiums and expand insurance coverage.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

Gluten-free diets are all the rage, but they can be dangerous if not done right. What is gluten? It´s the spongy complex of proteins, found naturally in wheat, rye, and barley, that gives elasticity to dough and allows it to rise. When flour is moistened and either kneaded or mixed into dough, gluten molecules form an elastic, microscopic latticework that traps the carbon dioxide produced when yeast ferments, causing dough to inflate like a hot air balloon. Baking hardens the gluten, which helps the finished product keep its shape. Wheat — and gluten — is ubiquitous in the American diet.
