Hearing somebody from Puerto Rico talk about how awful being against illegal immigration is makes me feel odd.
Is he unaware that Puerto Rico is actually an American territory? I hate this guy. At any moment they could vote to become a part of the United States and become full citizens.

They literally voted to become a state! They want to! But the government is doing nothing about it! Of course he knows it's an American territory!![/S]
EDIT: Here's a [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puerto_Rico]source:[/URL]
"The latest referendum on statehood, independence, or an associated republic was held on November 6, 2012. The people of Puerto Rico made history by requesting, for the first time ever, the conclusion of the island's current territorial status. Almost 78% of registered voters participated in a plebiscite held to resolve Puerto Rico's status, and a clear majority (54%) disagreed with Puerto Rico maintaining its present territorial status. Furthermore, among the possible alternatives, Sixty one percent (61%) of voters chose the statehood option, while one third of the ballots were submitted blank."

This might be a stupid question, but with all this pandering towards illegal immigrants, can illegals actually vote in American elections? Because the DNC seem to be banking on the illegal vote if I take a look at some of their speakers.
Also the DNC emails showed how much they're trying to get the Latino vote because their studies showed that latinos are loyal to the party of their family for decades. This is why I am cringing hearing all this Spanish

When there's regulation and alot of checks to make sure the people coming in aren't going to shoot up gay night clubs or commit mass sexual assaults.

If I recall correctly, they voted no

funny, because the orlando shooter wasn't an immigrant and we haven't had any events of mass sexual assaults by immigrants

What's wrong with them appealing to a large part of the demographic that feel threatened by the Republicans and their candidate? It seems pretty smart to me, and considering that American schools teach foreign languages I don't see what's wrong with them using a bit of Spanish.

A lot of voting places don't check for IDs or citizenship. People say republicans want voter ID to disenfranchise poor people who can't produce one, but verifying that a voter is a citizen of the country is an actual concern.
tl;dr yes

what? really?
[QUOTE=Lambeth;50774264]I guess it seems like pandering when the other guys call you rapists.[/QUOTE]
It's pandering when you're the Mexican that actually puts in the time, money, and work to come here legally, only to find out the Democrats don't care if you came in here illegally, in fact it's almost encouraged, and they get benefits for it.
If I were a Legal Mexican, I'd be pissed. Also Trump only called the illegals rapists. Not the legals.

I'm going to say that it really depends on the state, the "voter ID" controversy was started because the Republicans were concerned about this very thing. Personally I don't see how it's possible if states require driver licenses and things like that, I don't think you can obtain one as an illegal immigrant.

I feel that they are trying to secure the latino vote for the next 40 years rather than caring about the issues of Latino-American citizens. That's what is bothering me. They're banking on the only issues latino americans care about is family and citizenship. On top of that they're speaking in Spanish because they know a lot of the immigrant families come without bothering to learn English.
Also if a school teaches a foreign language in America, it is Spanish. Nothing wrong with it I guess, and I'm near fluent at this point, and I have a lot of respect for my Hispanic friends. They're vote is more than just immigration policies, so I consider the DNC's approach as insulting.

I still don't know how that logical train goes.
Everybody has an ID, or a birth certificate, or a SSN card. Everyone. If you don't have one then that means that you lost it

Hold the fuck up.
They are trying to attack Trump as an anti-semite when the DNC was trying to find a way to attack Bernie Sander's jewish heritage?

Why are they attacking him for that when he's done so much other LEGITIMATE stupid shit? Why target him for something that wasn't even an issue?

We all do. But sadly that isn't going to happen.

And it costs money and time to replace it. If the Republicans could either prove that voting fraud happens at a higher rate than nearly non-existent or put together a framework that would issue voter ID's absolutely free it would probably see more support instead of it just being a really obvious ploy to undercut predominately Democrat voters.
[QUOTE=RIPBILLYMAYS;50774529]I referred him to communities and news sources that are pro-Trump. Also, the mainstream media is completely anti-Trump so the Centipedes are exposed to opposing viewpoints I assure you. I won't speak for him but I read on everything from multiple sources before I try to make my statements.[/QUOTE]
Like I said, BillyMays didn't give me the info, he just pointed me in the right direction for it.

Hold the fuck up.
You're voting for Trump, you support him all the way, you're disappointed and disillusioned with the Democrats and establishment politics...
and you'd wish for a third Obama term?
... what the fuck?!
[QUOTE=RIPBILLYMAYS;50774640]practically speaking, its possible[/QUOTE]
Practically speaking, it's essentially a non-issue and Republican attempts to "solve" it end up disenfranchising more people at orders of magnitude more than the few dozen cases of fraud.
This guy almost sounds like Hank Hill.
