Shock: NBC Actually Goes to U.S.-Mexico Border to Find Ranchers Who Agree with Trump
newsbusters.org ^ | 7/9/2015 | Curtis Houck

Amid the ongoing media coverage surrounding Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on illegal immigration, Thursday’s NBC Nightly News surprisingly went down to the U.S.-Mexico border to further understand on the situation.

Following a news brief that mentioned a protest at the site of a Trump hotel being built in Washington D.C., anchor Lester Holt explained that even though some are “angered” by Trump’s remarks, they “are striking a cord” “for others” as they “believe he’s calling attention to a vital threat along our border.”

With surveillance footage of illegal immigrants crossing the border into Arizona being played, correspondent Mark Potter explained how “[f]or several years, hidden cameras in the Arizona desert have captured scenes like these, of drug and immigrant smugglers, sometimes armed, hiking through miles of American ranchland after illegally crossing the U.S.-Mexican border.”

Lester holt? Guess I don't watch the majors enough. Is he the line replacement unit for brian "I was at the Paris accords" williams? Anyway, this just shows, yet again, how out of touch these assclowns are with the reality of fly over country. "Why would anyone want to live THERE?" I really, really, really don't like these people.

They don’t have to go to ‘the border’. All they have to do is ask average AMERICAN citizen on the streets of any metropolitan area. Try Home Depot and Lowes’ Parking lots, Wal-Mart on Friday nights....................

What NBC, ABC, ABC, Reuters, AP, NYT, LAT, CT, BG and all the other rabid liberal media are actually hoping is that GOP division gets so bad, Trump will go third party and pull off another Perot spoliation. To that end, and at this point, they are giving him all the play he’ll take. Also, there is an added diversionary benefit that detaches the focus away from Hillary’s emails, IRS, NSA spying, OPM incompetence, Obama and all of the other combined scandals.

It’s what I’d do if I wanted to tank Hillary.

I know, right? Hillary kept classified email on an unapproved AIS because she was allowed to so she says (and we hear crickets from SD and Obama). Just like I keep Top Secret information here on this very computer I’m talking to you on...... :0)

If LESTER HOLT could have found ONE liberal elite ranchers or even ONE rancher or fake rancher that disagreed with Trump that person would have been the ONLY story.

NBC might wake up and realize that most of America hates the MSM... and we don’t agree with them on squat. Have they looked at their numbers?

Nixon lost his job over 18 minutes of tape, yet Hillary hid or wiped 10’s of thousands of emails.

I suspect so. But regardless of how that division shakes out, I will NEVER vote for Jeb Bush under any circumstance.

Say what you want about him, but Trump has made more progress on educating people on the disaster on the border in one week than the GOP or any politician has been able to make in the past 35 years.

You'd think they'd be able to hire an actor to support the narrative.

Look—there is something all of us can do to help America.

Call your Senators and Congressional reps and tell them that you want legislation to end sanctuary towns, cities and states, and if the places refuse to overturn their sanctuary policies, then not one dime of Federal money for anything.

We cannot have some laws followed and some not. That is anarchy.

Also demand a wall be physically built at the Mexican border.

14 years after 9/11 and 44 years after the war on Drugs began, we still have unlimited amounts of drugs and people coming across this border to our detriment.

www.senate.gov

www.house.gov

Look up your reps and call them.

They want this to blow over.

But 2016 is coming, and the entire House and one third of the Senate is up for re-election.

These clowns don’t give a damn about America as long as their pockets are lined, but the thing they fear most is being kicked out of DC and the access to the gravy train.

In another two weeks, they go away for all of August on their recess, and they hope like hell that you won’t be as pissed about the illegals when they come back.

We can’t just let one or two candidates fight the battle.

So get up and call.

And then make a donation to FreeRepublic—we are 10 days in and only at 10%. Every gift would be appreciated, and helps keep us connected.

Wasn’t it NBC who went to the school in Indonesia where Obama studied the koran and declared that it had not been a madrassa 30 years ago?

Or was I thinking of the network who sent a reporter to Viet Nam on a boat who went to where Kerry had a firefight, got off the boat, and interviewed someone who was actually there 40 years ago?

Yeah, well it appears that two “con-servative”(s)elected officials I contacted regarding the tpp/tpa from my location didn’t see it my way. The other one is hairy screed and it never does any good to contact him. So, the two supported the tpp/tpa and all I got in response was boilerplate BS. Looks like “giving” the house and senate over to the gopE was a waste of time. So, do I think they’d do anything to push for a fence or suspending fed bucks to sanctuary cities. Nah. But I’ll contact them anyway. Just call me Thorny.
