1) Why do you hate Mexicans?
No one said anything about hating anyone - but, rather, I very much love America and want to preserve her unique culture, language, and identity - not sell it down to the river so some mega corporation like GE can make a few extra bucks. What you’ve done is smear me with a lie painted as a question…and the first thing I’m going to do when I’m president is to take a serious look at media ownership rules.
2) “I recently found out my family came from Holland without permission in the 1600s. Should we be sent back?"
I just recently found out that several innocent men have been freed from jail after having been falsely imprisoned; does that mean we should abolish the justice system?
In mathematics, there is a phrase that is often used in mathematical proofs: reductio ad absurdum, reduction to an absurdity. That assertion was a prime example of one. The fact is, under your logic, everyone would either have to go back from where they came (Asians to the Middle East and eventually Africa - American Indians to North America, then Asia, then the Middle East, and then, eventually, Africa - Africans back to specific parts of the continent…) or, everyone who wanted into the country should be allowed in. That’s insane. Billions would come. The citizens of this country have every right to determine who - if anyone - is allowed in; pointing to an outlier in order to justify an illogical argument is…well, insane. It’s clear to me that Time has a tremendous bias here and is attempting to impugn my integrity and my legitimacy, both as a political figure and as a human being - something that is hardly “journalistic," a phrase that I will never again use to describe your biased, politically motivated publication.

Isn't that where they wheeled the Ten Commandments display out of the State House and into the basement?
It’s clear to me that Time has a tremendous bias
Agree.
Nice try, but you over-thought this thing - especially in WAY over shooting the mark in answer #2.
Better answers for Tom might be
1. I don’t hate ‘Mexicans’... no, no, no... you misunderstood. I hate ‘’MAGAZINES’’. Particularly TIME magazine. You’ve read wrongly. (Oh, and that’s an ‘ly’ adverb...one of those pesky cultural things, by the way...)
2. Your ancestors weren’t BREAKING IMMIGRATION LAWS in the 1600s. Perhaps you should be sent back BECAUSE YOUR BREATHING GOOD U.S. AIR THAT SMARTER CITIZENS COULD BE BREATHING! (Oh, it does seem a little stuffy in here lately, doesn’t it?)
In your particular case, yes!
