BTW, I used to support Cruz, like you do, but since you supporters of the man are as such, I will not support him nor vote for the man. Even in the general.

Well, who is being abusive. You claim I support Cruz, which is a total lie. I have NEVER supported Cruz, and I've made that very clear. I say the truth about all the candidates. I will say something good if they deserve it. But I slammed Crux several times last week alone, because he deserved it. <

I have defended Trump, when he deserves it. But I am also not going to pretend the emperor has clothes.

So you claim I support Cruz, even though it's not truee. What does that make you?

A lot of people around here need to start using their brain instead of acting like liberals.

Then there was the 1980s case of the 200 Polish illegals that he hired for $5/hr and failed to provide with hard hats. The case was eventually settled and the records sealed.

Nice try at deflection. Stay focused, shall we?

This is about illegals working on Trump’s hotel in DC. If you think his inking contracts with firms that screw American workers by hiring illegals is a “nothingburger,” that belies quite a strain of hypocrisy. I’ve pointed out an important issue here, and none of you can manage to refute it.

I’m with you on that Nick. You’re definitely equal opportunity on dishing it out.

Damn! That is nice. Very well and tastefully done. Ahead of schedule and on budget.

And, I have to wonder how many Cruz supporters were Obama "birthers".

Interesting, considering Trump tried to capitalize on the "birther" issue himself, not to mention a little foray into "9/11 trutherism." Might not want to go there on that one.

That’s the same way I feel about Trump and his supporters. I will never support Trump because of the people who support him. Even in the general.

No. You’ve demonstrated a fundamental misunderstanding about contracting and hiring, either thru lack of knowledge or willful ignorance.

The contracting firms hired by the general contractor are required to follow Federal hiring practices and applicable laws. Trying to blame Trump for it is hysterically disingenuous.

Clearly you have not a bit of experience or knowledge on this topic, yet feel entitled to post a stupid comment anyway.

I have worked with the Trump organization, and you would be hard pressed to find a better and more ethical bunch out there. Yes, they run a very, very tight ship, and you had best follow the regs and specs to the letter, but they are great to work with.

You should really educate yourself before making dumb comments like that.

Sorry... you can't have that rabbit hole to jump down. When you ink a contract with a firm that provides a specific service, you can include and negotiate on specifics, including full adherence to federal immigration laws.

And my point is... Trump looked the other way while that hiring was done. Are you saying the “Great Negotiator” should’ve continued to ignore it once it was brought to light?

My thought is if you didn’t think Obama was eligible why would you think Cruz is eligible?

Estimated number of jobs (for legals or illegals) created by Cruz: 0.

You personally are saying that Trump personally looked the other way when some mason filled out his application?

You’re the one in a rabbit hole.

I wasn’t one of the “birther brigade.” Look elsewhere for that one.

I am glad you are coming under the third post wire once again. For awhile there I thought you were slipping, perhaps not on your game.

I'm saying -- again -- he looked the other way when the hiring was brought to light. Really do stop making excuses for the man. He's not what he claims to be.

I am saying the real estate development industry subsists on illegal labor. Trump is not stupid, he knows that like everyone else in the industry. That's why he criticized Romney in 2012 for being, "too tough on immigration."

That's why his whole, "tough on immigration," act is all so much Reality-TV acting for ratings.

That's why he continually puts amnesty talk in his campaign. TRUMP: Undocumented Workers Can Stay ... BUT ONLY IF THEY WORK HARD Even his "tough" plan gives them free citizenship if they set foot back in Mexico. (which will never happen)

If you don't trust Mitch McConnell on immigration (which you shouldn't), why would you trust a proven liar, Reality-TV con who profits from illegals.

This is going to work out just like all the others you trusted on immigration. (and likely worse)
