They wouldn't be here if we took care of our own, heck, we don't even want to feed our children before school that their working poor parents can't afford. I can't imagine trying to study with "missed meal cramps" as a friend calls it. And that is just the start.
Yep, we just do not take care of our own, we just invade countries for no apparent reason.

Nonsense. Most go on to become immigrants (green card) in due course subject to a quota system and at the discretion of their employer. Do they displace American citizens while under the H1B? Depends on who you talk to.

Heres what Trump has said about a VP pick:

http://www.cnn.com/2016/02/24/politi...ice-president/

He says he wants an insider, with legislative experience, that is ready to step in as President if need arises.

That is not the description of a wet behind the ears rookie like Rubio.

I think Kasich is more likely.

Joe Biden, the ultimate insider and a slam dunk ticket.

It won't be any of the other candidates. It'll be as serving member of congress, probably someone like Duncan Hunter (who just endorsed Trump).

Agreed. Candidates from the current crop would be Jeb (no way another Bush), Cruz (no way in hell), Rubio (lightweight), Kasich (wolf in sheep's clothing and a Koch sucker), Christie (even more polarizing than Hillary) leaves him no choices other than from the outside. Would Romney play second fiddle?

'Poll: Trump’s negatives among Hispanics rise; worst in GOP field'

Romney lost Latino/a vote with his self deportation scheme amongst other nonsense. How would Trump gain the White House with these poll numbers?

Romney looks like Miss Manners in comparison to Trump. Trump is going down.
