Republican Donald Trump is pulling away from the pack in the race for the party’s US presidential nomination, widening his lead over his closest rivals in the past week, according to an online poll. “I don’t think they have American citizenship, and if you speak to some very, very good lawyers – some would disagree”. In Trump’s world, the Amendment is the reason that Mexicans “when they’re going to have a baby, they move over here for a couple of days, they have a baby”. Our country is going to hell.

Around 350,000 Canadians now work in California’s tech industry, Trump’s plan would undoubtedly force some of them back home, creating an influx of talent that wouldn’t hurt Canadian startups and tech companies. “That’s the legitimate side of this”. He seems like he’s actually, you know, trying to win. Speaking at a town hall in New Hampshire, the real estate mogul revealed details about his plan to keep undocumented immigrants from coming into the country. “Between Common Core, his “act of love” on immigration and “skin in the game” with Iraq …” Clinton bests Trump by 13 percentage points among the women voters surveyed.
BUSH: POLITICO notes that he chaired a group called the Hispanic Leadership Network, which issued a memo advising against the use of the term ‘anchor baby’.
“You know what’s happening to Jeb’s crowd down the street?”
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker said at the Iowa State Fair Monday that he similarly supported the change, and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has said the policy should be “re-examined”.
