"Trump is right about one thing: We do have a country. We have a country where all people - not specifically citizens - are considered equal. We have a country moving towards full inclusion and civil rights for all. We have a country with values anathema to the xenophobia that inspired 'Operation Wetback,'" writes Raul A. Reyes at NBC News, noting Tuesday's debate in Milwaukee.
Trump and the Republican Party's rhetoric aimed at ethnic minorities is becoming more and more dangerous, and morally repulsive.
Will one candidate for the Republican Party's nomination for the presidency speak up and call out this racist crap for what it is?
During the debate in Milwaukee no one did.

Republican Hate-mongering 'Illegals' Rhetoric
Update: Scott Walker says he would repeal President Obama's "amnesty" on Day One, in one of Walker's self-proclaimed "big, bold" ideas: "For goodness sakes, we’re seeing the real – the very real – public safety risk for what happens when you have people who commit multiple, multiple criminal offenses. They are a public safety risk to anyone in this country." (Breitbart) Who knew multiple, multiple criminals were invading and rampaging America, creating a public safety risk to anyone in this country? Republican racists know, though this is sheer, hate-mongering nonsense.

"Long past time for media to stop calling people 'illegals,'" reads a headline from DesMoinesDem writing in the Bleeding Heartland from Iowa.
The Iowa writer also hits GOP politicians, Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa), Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), and Radio Iowa and its 50-plus affiliate Iowa radio stations (division of Learfield Communications) for their continued use of the racially charged invective Republicans use to appeal to rural whites in America still in thrall to anything injurious to the other—them.
That goes for Fox News too, but one miracle at a time.
White and racist equals Republican Party today. Whites for liberty and equality vote for someone else.
Didn't always be that way, but appeals to racism are a main stable of the Republican political diet.
Throw in evangelical Christianitites and you have an Iowa Caucus election custom-made for Scott Walker, though Walker's faltering campaign has many anti-Latino, anti-equality and misogynistic rivals looking at other candidates with demonstrable knowledge of public policy.
Republican candidates for president see racist appeals and voter obstruction of minorities as a winning combination, and decency will not prevent the GOP from sowing the seeds of hate. (Mal Contends) (J.P. Green) (Mal Contends) (James Vega)
