On a different subject, ...Thanks for responding. <br /><br />On a different subject, have you already written about citizenship reform? I'm interested to know your thoughts on that subject.

While I disagree with the intimidation, I don't see that as different than the way Clinton has handled such things in the past; neither in principle nor in severity. On the other hand, Clinton most certainly would also use the methods provided by the courts.<br /><br />Also, from what I can tell Trump's position is not that ALL Mexican judges are incapable of remaining impartial (a racist position), but that this particular one is. I don't know if that's true, but that argument is not completely without merit. And it is one he's made; in the Jake Tapper interview Trump was pressed on this issue and responded by saying something to the effect of, "Curiel is a member of a society that is pro-Mexican," which appears to be a reference to La Raza Lawyers of San Diego, a group that has ties to the National Council of La Raza.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03961286575894917190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839412.post-65368519235471884052016-06-07T09:21:29.388-06:002016-06-07T09:21:29.388-06:00Jacob,

The first is a legitimate complaint and the second isn't. That said, I was posting about a different issue, which was how Trump has reacted to the possibility that the judge is biased. <br /><br />Second, since many people who follow this blog seem to be confused about my position on immigration, I will state that, while I think people should be free to live wherever they wish, so long as they are not criminals or combatants, I think we do need citizenship reform. And we need to phase out the welfare state altogether.<br /><br />GusGus Van Hornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05126749051688217781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839412.post-7946418314530283452016-06-07T08:57:55.013-06:002016-06-07T08:57:55.013-06:00I sympathize with Trump on this one.

Is it really racist to suggest membership in La Raza Lawyers risks bias toward a guy with such a bad immigration policy? I'm not saying Trump is right, I'm saying I don't see the charge of racism is justified.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03961286575894917190noreply@blogger.com
