Trump is suing to block the California law that would require candidates to reveal their taxes.

Funny, he didn't seem to object to the laws about birth certificates!

Picciolini: Any tragedy that happens now is being politicized, so it doesn’t surprise me. He’s very good at kicking little buckets of gasoline over sparks of fire that already exist. Racism existed before he became president, and is now again at the fore. When he says those things, he is speaking to his base by not coming out strong for a very specific opinion, as after Charlottesville[, Virginia,] when he said there were good people on both sides. This is a little bit of a dilemma for me, because I also have to believe there are good people on both sides in order to do what I do.

Good interview.  What Picciolini does is amazing.  He's traveled far in his spiritual journey.

Whites are now the minority in Anaheim, Latinos are now the majority.

"Anaheim's Latino population has more than tripled since 1980 and now stands at 186,000. It is the second city in Orange County to become majority Latino -- at 54.5% -- according to new census estimates." Allen J. Schaben / Los Angeles Times
 
And Latinos are the majority in California, Latinos are no longer the minority.
 
Here is an article...
 
Latinos become the majority in California, but remain political lightweights

You will have to search for the one article from the Los Angeles Times, I Googled it and cannot find it, all that I could find was the quote that I shared. There should be more articles as well.
 
We do NOT need a wall!

Anaheim is down here by Mexico, we are only about 100 miles from Mexico, and so you would expect that we would have a lot of Latinos here. We have always had a lot of Latinos, and many people in California go on vacations in Mexico and stuff, Mexico is just a short drive away. The Mexicans are just people like everyone else, and there is no reason to fear the Mexicans, and there is no reason to fear Latinos becoming the majority.

Also, Detroit is a shrinking city, and our Latino immigrants can help to repopulate Detroit. Detroit City Council Woman Raquel Lopez has said that our Latino immigrants from our Southern Border are welcome in Detroit. Detroit wants the Latinos.

There is nothing to fear as the whites become the minority. Anaheim is a great city. People come to Anaheim from all over the world to come to Disneyland, and it is great here. We have great weather, we have great people, it is nice here.

And the Latina women are beautiful.
 
Salute,

Latinos become the majority in California,

#####

As their leaders allegedly promised they would.

Mario Obledo, California Coalition of Hispanic Organizations and California State Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare under Governor Jerry Brown, also awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Bill Clinton, “California is going to be a Hispanic state. Anyone who doesn’t like it should leave.”

Jose Pescador Osuna, Mexican Consul General , “We are practicing ‘La Reconquista’ in California.”

How about the increase in % that do not speak English?

I think this should concern all Americans far more than the change in language percentages.

And... if you don't like being called racist, Nazi, asshole, misogynist, or other such names, then stop behaving like them. It is not that we are (or I am) dehumanizing Bambi, Ward, Luee, or you, Kid. It is that I am calling you out for dehumanizing others who are not on this message board and/or calling you out for failure to stand up for them or to acknowledge that your elected officials are dehumanizing others.

"Oh, is it bad to compare the GOP to Nazis? Well, if members of the GOP do not like being compared to Nazis, they should consider not behaving exactly like Nazis.

Hispanic U.S. citizens, some of whom were in the U.S. military, are not being allowed to renew their passports. This is reportedly happening to “hundreds, even thousands” of Latinos, according to a report in the Washington Post. They’re getting letters from the State Department saying it does not believe they are citizens. The government claims their citizenships are fraudulent. “I’ve had probably 20 people who have been sent to the detention center—U.S. citizens,” Jaime Diez, an attorney in Brownsville, told The Washington Post.

The Washington Post also reports on ICE officials coming to citizens' homes and taking their passports away. This is an escalation from a few months ago, when Americans were detained by ICE officials just for speaking Spanish to one another."

What about 'La Reconquista' in Texas...is that what's going on?     is what some White people could well be asking.

Texas police sorry for leading black man by rope

Somehow, "sorry" doesn't really cut it.

What else were they supposed to do?
Give the arrested person a ride on the horse?

It's a technique they use, well used to use, now banned for everybody....when arresting people/anybody.

The people of Texas love Mexicans. 

Jeb Bush married a Mexican woman, he was doing charity work in Mexico when he met the love of his life.

The Bush family does not think very highly of Trump.

And George H.W. Bush was Vice President when President Reagan did amnesty and made all of our immigrants legal, so that they could come out of the shadows and call the police in the case of an emergency, and so that they could join labor unions, etc. 

The next President after Trump needs to do amnesty again, like Reagan did, and make all of our immigrants legal, and then we need to change the laws in order to make it easier for people to come to the USA legally, and to become citizens legally. The USA is a blessing for the world, and it belongs to all of the world's people.

We all own the USA, it belongs to everyone. We have a statue welcoming the homeless from around the world.

All that we ask is that people obey our Constitution, and follow our laws. We need to make laws that people can obey, if the laws are bad then we need to change the laws. 

Anyhow, the people of Texas love Mexicans, they even have Tex-Mex food, which is delicious, and there is lots of land in Texas. 

Salute,

Tony V.

Is what stupid racist crackers could well be asking, as evidenced by the fact you brought it up.

Also, Bambu, you are the inbred spawn of Convict bog squatters. Pale and cowardly as you are, you are by no means white.

Nah..mommy dearest's side of the family ancestor was a free Lutheran immigrant from Prussia in the mid 1800s, who paid his own way.
Father's father was a free Protestant immigrant from Wales....circa 1900.

Youngish Lutheran's got out of Prussia because the leftists led by Marx and co were taking over. "Previous hereditary property will have to be purchased [from the State] by the inheritors."

Could you be this stupid? I suppose you could.

This guy names Marconi invented this device called the radio. During World War II, the hand held two way radio extended that invention. These days the police on the job all carry them, unless undercover - this includes the mounted police in Texas.

Then a squad car comes as back-up and picks up the suspect.

They used to use it a long time ago. It is frowned upon for a number of reasons, but if you couldn't figure it out, I suspect you cannot accept them, either.
