“You're fired!” NBC tells Donald Trump's and Mexicans-hate campaign
NBC has ended its relationship with real estate developer and TV personality Donald Trump and his “Miss USA” and “Miss Universe” pageants after he made comments insulting Mexicans when he began his run for president. The pageants, which are part of a joint venture between NBC-Universal and Trump, would no longer air on NBC “due to the recent derogatory statements by Donald Trump regarding immigrants” the company said in a press release.

If Americans voted in Bush they can vote in Trump.
Jun 30th, 2015 - 09:54 am - Link - Report abuse 0Racism and the destruction of the ancient family (husband and wife) is the result of US moral decay.
Jun 30th, 2015 - 11:05 am - Link - Report abuse 0Therefore, the US decline is not only economic or political. It is above all moral.
So the ginger minger, he of the false hair, is the ONLY one in the whole of the USA who is speaking the truth: ”“Mr. Trump stands by his statements on illegal immigration, which are accurate. NBC is weak, and like everybody else is trying to be politically correct - that is why our country is in serious trouble,”
Jun 30th, 2015 - 11:13 am - Link - Report abuse 0I bet the voters are happy with that, NOT!
Tump has a good amount of support. What he said was accurate. Odumbo has created an immigration nightmare in the USA that the next Prez will have to fix.
Jun 30th, 2015 - 11:29 am - Link - Report abuse 0I am glad he's in the race. I think he will make candidates talk about real issues honestly. He doesn't care who he offends.
“He doesn't care who he offends.”

Yankeeboy. If you're trying to tell me that without Mexicans the US would be drug, crime and rape free..... then you deserve this guy as president.
Jun 30th, 2015 - 12:02 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Mexicans are cowards. The US stole 4 million km2 of them and they act done lambs going to the slaughter.
Jun 30th, 2015 - 12:29 pm - Link - Report abuse 0How are you. The United States will not accept more Mexicans, on the other hand will return to California, Colorado, Arizona, Texas, Nevada, New Mexico to Mexico who are the legitimate owners of the lands.
The world is watching the US. What they make the world will respond appropriately.

“Take them if you think you are hard enough”
There...that's settled...
7. No I am not saying that, Odumbo has release 100os of illegal criminals back into the USA instead of deporting them.
Jun 30th, 2015 - 01:57 pm - Link - Report abuse 0That's what Trump is talking about.
The USA needs to increase its immigration quotas and set something up like Canada that's a point system and the immigration visa is sponsored by the State that needs them based on their talents.
The Stupid liberals in our country think that's elitist and are not allowing it to move forward.
Hopefully the next Prez can fix the mess Odumbo has created.
”When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best, they’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems (to) us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”
Jun 30th, 2015 - 09:42 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If Trump wished to criticise Obama then he should have. Because that quote isn't criticising Obama. That quote is denigrating Mexico and Mexicans. It is facile and simplistic and not something I would think a presidential hopeful would be thinking or acting on if he were elected.
Two further points. It seems there may have been no net gain of Mexican immigrants since 2010 as Mexico is now creating opportunity for its people. After living there for nearly 3 months I could see some massive and worthwhile changes in their society. Which means Trump will eventually have to find a new source to blame.... slippery slope that reminds me of the Nazis (and Argentina at times).
Secondly, the points system employed by Canada is actually copied from Australia. Australia has 10% of the US population but our immigration rate currently sits at 25% of the US rate. But we don't seem to have the poverty and crime from this. This is why I'm a strong supporter of our wealth redistribution and the world's highest minimum wage - I believe these help to reduce some of the crime and poverty problems that beset the US.
It is obvious you don't know much about the USA. We have an infestation of low class uneducated criminal element from South of the Border. We need to fix it before we are over run. We used to deport them and now we don't because Odumbo has made an executive decision not to enforce our laws.
Jul 01st, 2015 - 01:05 am - Link - Report abuse 0Odumbo is the worst Prez we've had in 100 yrs by far.
I am all for organized legal immigration for people that will be a net gain to our Society and that not the scum that's currently coming across our southern border.
I am not a fan of illegal immigrants either and I support my country's sometimes harsh but necessary treatment of queue jumpers. However as I quoted above, Trump has taken aim at one particular country here. A country, whether you like it or not, the US has a land border with.
Jul 01st, 2015 - 03:58 am - Link - Report abuse 0To lump all the bad elements of immigration, whether legal or not, onto one country is utterly stupid. I had always assumed that someone like Trump could only have gotten so far if he had at least some intelligence but I have to wonder with comments like this.
As for you thinking your country is about to be “over run”.... really? You think that a country that has just over a third of your country's population is about to “over run” you? Is the US in anymore danger of being “over run” now by Mexicans than it has in the past by Germans, Irish or freed slaves?
How Mexican are 2nd or 3rd generation immigrants?
Perhaps I don't know much about the US, but our news doesn't show “infestation of low class uneducated criminal element from South of the Border” that are shooting up churches or primary schools or blowing up federal buildings. These don't seem to be from “South of the Border”.
Trump is playing to the lowest common denominator and it seem you, Yankeeboy, have fallen for it.
Blaming foreigners for domestic problems is exactly what you accuse Argentinians of doing. It isn't very convincing or intelligent when an Argentinean president does it and it isn't very convincing or intelligent when a US presidential candidate does it.

@13 Skip
Well said.
Skip, Your reading an awful lot into my post that isn't there.
Jul 01st, 2015 - 11:47 am - Link - Report abuse 0Trump was not wrong with his statement.
Many Americans feel exactly like he does and I put the blame squarely on Odumbo. If you've not see news on the immigrants coming to the USA through Mexico you've not been paying attention. Most Illegal immigrants are in 6 States, that's 12MM people in 6 States not paying taxes and taking from the system, free education, food stamps, welfare, free healthcare and on and on. The Mexican Gov't promotes illegal immigration to the USA, they give them pamphlets and maps instead of trying to help us they are actively working against us.
People in the border states are sick and tired of paying taxes for Non USA citizens.
If its not controlled shortly, we will end up militarizing the border and quite possibly “managing” the flow from within the Mexican border states.
Soon enough we'll have a new Prez and hopefully it will be one that will fix the immigation mess Odumbo has created and fix the border leakage.
Everyone I know is on countdown to the end of the Odumbo administration hoping he does as little damage as possible in his remaining years.
Obama had a fantastic week. Obamacare all secured, gay marriage legalised and the Confederate flag heading for the dustbin of history.
Jul 01st, 2015 - 12:17 pm - Link - Report abuse 016. Good week if you're a no-brained liberal.
Jul 01st, 2015 - 12:46 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Plus Obamacare will go down as a failure as it collapses on its own weight. It might be legal but its not still costs a lot of $ that we don't have and most of the country doesn't want.
Just wait and see.
The kind of week that just made the States look a bit like Argentina. LOL

Brazzo, who the hell are you to talk about moral decay ? doesn't São Paulo, as well as many other Brazilian cities, have gigantic parades for the LGBTT crowds, drawing millions ? I suppose that the all these lovely rainbow people do not indulge in butt-fucking and all sorts of other depraved activities that you so much enjoy....
@8 ”Mexicans are cowards. The US stole 4 million km2 of them and they act done lambs going to the slaughter.”
Seems you need to study a bit more about US-Mexico history.....nothing was stolen, it was won in war from the Spaniards....you know, those that stole it from the indigenous people who had lived there for centuries....so why don't you STFU ?
Yankeeboy
Jul 01st, 2015 - 11:09 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The U.S. might invade?
Will be interesting to see how many problems don't disappear when that happens.
A few facts, which you love when you talk about Argentina and Brazil but seem to forget when talking about your own country:
While there might be just over 11 million illegal residents in the U.S., only 5.9 million are Mexican! Illegal Mexicans make up 1.8% of your country's population. 1.8%!!!!
This has dropped by a MILLION in the last 8 years - seems the Mexican government isn't very good at promoting illegal immigration? There's less coming and the median age of those already there has gone up by 10 years.
I suppose US voters like their simply problems and solutions. Now there isn't a Cuban bogeyman, and the Russian and Chinese ones are too far away, time to concentrate on the Mexicans. I dislike illegal immigrants on principle but I'd be stupid to blame any of my country's ills on one group of people or on one nation.
Trump sealed his own fate. Populism is what you rail against ad nauseum on here but it seems it makes you feel good too. Trump might be on a different part of the political spectrum but he is the same politician as Dilma, Cristina and Maduro in blaming foreigners and interference.
Trump has already moved on to how it is Mexico destroying jobs and trade..... the more he talks the more he sounds like CFK! Mexicans are causing the crime, Mexicans are destroying our jobs, Mexicans are trading unfairly..... replace Mexicans for Jews and you have a nazi! Replace Mexicans with foreigners and you have a Peronist!
Simple problems for simple people.
My gosh you have no idea what you are talking about. Illegal immigration may have dropped over the last few years because we were in a recession. We're not now. We have had immigrants flooding across the southern border, no not all are Mexicans a lot of them are Central Americans though. THey have been FLOODING across the boarder in unprecedented numbers because they know the Odumbo administration won't deport them.

Ask any American what they think of illegal immigrants, they'll say they want the border secured, the law followed and the criminals deported.
That's a simple solution.
Donald Trump is just another in the gaggle of bigots and racists that comprise the GOP hopes for the White House. The worst of these is probably Pat Buchanan with Trump coming a close second.
Jul 03rd, 2015 - 01:34 am - Link - Report abuse 0But Trump is climbing in the polls. I hope that he can maintain his popularity because, if he can, the Republicans will have no chance in the general.
The real story of this primary season is Bernie Sanders. He has come from nothing to now being a threat to Hillary Clinton. This is not a story that you will hear about in Mercopenguin because the British government want a right wing extremist in the White House. Fortunately the British lost all influence in the selection of US government offices in 1775.
Bernie Sanders will make Peronists look like fiscal conservatives.
Jul 03rd, 2015 - 03:16 am - Link - Report abuse 0Trump may be right. Just read on Arizona central website. A 13 year old girl raped. A middle aged couple shot to death. Both crimes committed by mestizo looking types.
Funny on the Dem side its all old rich white people running.

Jul 03rd, 2015 - 05:28 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It is clear that you support Hillary.....If you know what a despicable person she is , and still support her, you are an idiot ; If you don't know what a farce she is, then you are ignorant; either way, your opinion is irelevant. Go back to sleep.
Trump is now damaging the Republican Party. Of the current GOP candidates only Marco Rubio has clearly denounced Trump's bigotry. But it took him two weeks to do so. Ted Cruz is actually supporting Trump's comments.
Jul 04th, 2015 - 01:55 am - Link - Report abuse 0Importantly, the business community gets it with a large number of corporations severing ties with Trump.
The Census Bureau recently announced that the US is now the second largest country in the Spanish speaking world (Mexico being the largest) and that within 20 years it will be the largest. From a historical point of view we have been here before with the German and Scandinavian migrants and, latter, the Italians and so on. This triggered the creation of the No Nothing party which, of course, played an important part in the creation of the Republican Party. We have come almost full circle with the GOP becoming the later day No Nothings.
So Mexico and U.S. fusing into one State. Might end up looking like that other fused Islamic State in Syria and Iraq
Jul 04th, 2015 - 03:10 am - Link - Report abuse 0Trump was right and a lot of people know that.

It's the same as the north-africans, arriving in hordes on the shores of Italy....what obligation does Europe have towards these immigrants, who have very little or nothing to offer, other than being a burden ?
Donald Trump is growing in the polls. And this is a plus for the Democratic Party. In fact that there is a ridiculous rumor that Trump is a Democratic plant. The longer he stays in the race the better.

Hillary, and now Bernie Sanders, are just two more rotten , populist politicians. If the US votes either one in, then they deserve what they get.
