Phoenix speech

Gives Talk6 Comments

In a speech in Phoenix, AZ, before a crowd of 4,500, Trump accuses Mexico of deliberately sending criminals across the border while also professing respect for the Mexican government and love for its people.

I love the Mexican people. I love ’em. Many, many people from Mexico are legal. They came in the old-fashioned way. Legally…I respect Mexico greatly as a country. But the problem we have is their leaders are much sharper than ours, and they’re killing us at the border and they’re killing us on trade.

Trump brings on stage Jamiel Shaw Sr., a Southern California man whose 17-year-old son was shot and killed in 2008 by a man in the country illegally. Shaw vividly described how his son was shot – in the head, stomach and hands while trying to block his face – and how he heard the gunshots as he talked to his son on the phone. Shaw says he trusts Trump, and encourages the crowd to do the same. A group of youp of young Latinos unfurl a banner pointed toward the stage and begin chanting insults and are removed.

I wonder if the Mexican government sent them over here. I think so.

Immigrants and minorities are a major force in America, including Mexicans who helped build and operate Mr.
Trump’s office buildings, hotels and casinos. Immigrants and the children they bear account for 60 percent of our nation’s population growth…

We need a leader with a different attitude, a new voice, an independent thinker and I think TRUMP could be it!

Can anyone doubt this man is telling us his true feelings. How refreshing if all politicians followed suit. But, they are more concerned about their own personal advancement than that of America.

Sabrina

Trump gives alot of people hope for America again

100% correct…..we the American people are not stupid, our lying corrupt politicians only serve the interests
of special interests groups and lobbyists. SHAMEFUL!

I don’t think he should’ve took shots at Mexico.

But again thats just my opinion.
