While the GOP clown vehicle has tried to speed away from many of Trump’s proclamations, some of the candidates have taken up the call to change the 14th Amendment, that grants birthright citizenship.

I still am very suspicious about Trump’s sudden turn to constitutionalism, given his past, but once again he is doing this primary contest a great service, pulling Scott Walker and other candidates to the right on this issue.
Trump would have received $2.7 million annually over the next five years from Univision, who has dropped the Spanish-language simulcast and digital rights of the Miss USA pageant that Trump co-owns with NBCUniversal. In an incredible video from New Left Media and picked up by the New York Times, Ricardo describes working as a busboy at the only restaurant at Trump Soho, and his subsequent reaction to Trump’s claim that undocumented immigrants from Mexico – hardworking immigrants like himself – are criminals.
Sen. Jeff Sessions (R) of Alabama, who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee’s immigration subcommittee, endorsed Trump’s plan, saying in a statement that the plan “includes an emphasis on lifting struggling minority communities, including our immigrant communities, out of poverty, by preventing corporations from bringing in new workers from overseas to replace them and drive down wages”.
“I may have an accent, but I’m not stupid”, he said in the video.
Alexandra Rubalcava, a 9-year-old, said of Trump: “He wants to kick out the Mexican people from America and just leave the American people“.
She continued, “Because what if you were Mexican and someone else was you? How would you feel?” We can’t say how long the Donald will stay in the race, but we estimate he’ll have to put up $50 million of his own money to make a serious bid for the Republican presidential nomination. Something tells me she won’t be voting for the Republican slate.
“The thing is, he hasn’t even apologized”, Arturo, a 27-year-old father and chef, told me.
“We Latinos are becoming more powerful, and he doesn’t like it”, said Irene Huerta, a 24-year-old college student.
NASCAR, ESPN, and the PGA have cancelled bookings to hold events such as tournaments and awards ceremonies at Trump hotels, golf courses, and other properties. “While he’s calling us names, more Latinos are going to school and wanting to excel”. ‘As you know, I know how to build. I know how to get it done’. “We came to America because we wanted a better life”.
“My brother showed me”, 10-year-old Damaris told me.
Among the Trump contracts New York City is reviewing is a $230 million golf course deal.
Some monsters and ghouls are pretty scary.
But in the end, fear not, niños.
