Donald Trumps view on Immigration.

Apparently what he said was so offensive that Pageants sponsored by him were no longer to be aired By NBC. Donald trump is going to try to sue them now. [spoiler][quote]NBC is ending its business relationship with Donald Trump over his recent comments about Mexican immigrants. "At NBC, respect and dignity for all people are cornerstones of our values," NBC said in a statement. "Due to the recent derogatory statements by Donald Trump regarding immigrants, NBCUniversal is ending its business relationship with Mr. Trump." The network will no longer air the annual Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants that were part of a joint venture with Trump, the statement added. Its relationship with "Celebrity Apprentice" will continue, as Trump ceased his involvement with the reality show during his presidential bid. The real estate mogul and 2016 presidential candidate has faced criticism for comments he made during his announcement speech earlier this month. "When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best," he said. "They're not sending you. They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people." Univison previously announced that it would cease its relationship with the Miss Universe Organization over the comments. Trump has said he will sue that network for breach of contract and defamation. Trump responded to the news after an appearance in Chicago, telling reporters: "I think as far as ending the relationship, I have to do that because my view on immigration is much different than the people at NBC." In a written statement, he added: "If NBC is so weak and so foolish to not understand the serious illegal immigration problem in the United States, coupled with the horrendous and unfair trade deals we are making with Mexico, then their contract violating closure of Miss Universe/Miss USA will be determined in court."[/quote] [/spoiler]

    Serves him right, he's an idiot. Not only did he basically say that Mexicans are the only illegals that cross our borders, but he said that most of them come to do harm. You can't fix stupid, people definitely need to learn a few things. He definitely proves that money can't buy everything, because clearly he's missing a brain. And for people saying that immigrants commit more crimes: [quote]But harsh immigration policies are not effective in fighting crime because—as numerous studies over the past 100 years have shown—immigrants are less likely to commit crimes or be behind bars than the native-born, and high rates of immigration arenot associated with higher rates of crime. This holds true for both legal immigrants and the undocumented, regardless of their country of origin or level of education.[/quote] [spoiler][url=http://m.immigrationpolicy.org/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.immigrationpolicy.org%2Fjust-facts%2Fanecdotes-evidence-setting-record-straight-immigrants-and-crime-0&utm_referrer=#2944]source[/url][/spoiler] Need more? [quote]In fact, most research, such as a 2008 report by University of California sociologist Ruben Rumbaut for the Police Foundation National Conference, finds that immigrants, including undocumented ones, are less prone to crime than are native-born Americans. Rumbaut finds that the incarceration rate of American-born males between 18 and 39 years of age was five times the rate of foreign-born males, and finds similar conclusions in a survey of other studies on the topic.[/quote] [spoiler][url=http://reason.com/archives/2014/09/07/criminal-immigrants]source[/url][/spoiler]
