Macy’s Drops Donald Trump’s Fashion Line Over Immigrant Remarks

[Jedi Knight]

I'm not being obtuse. Your ancestors -illegal immigrants - stole property from the folks that were there first. Take ownership of their crime and do the right thing.

LoL Nice!!! All that finger pointing he does about "past" had four pointing right back at him!

You were too being obtuse. And I'm all for giving the Natives back their land. We can start with your neighborhood.

We'd have to sell it back to them. Way back in the 1740s the Oneidas that owned my little piece of Heaven sold it to this white feller that wanted to raise a few cows and a flat spot to plant some corn. Those Oneidas even gave him a deed. I can only account for the quarter section I have but the deed says there have only been two other families that owned it until I purchased it 25 years ago.

So...

If Macy's dropped Trump's fashion line because of his comments does that mean they support the continued abuse of women illegally entering our country?

DONALD TRUMP, GOP PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: Well, if you look at the statistics of people, I didn't say Mexicans -- I said the illegal immigrants. If you look at the statistics on rape, on crime, on everything, coming in illegally into this country, they're mind-boggling. If you go to Fusion, you will see a story about 80% of the women coming in, you have to take a look at these stories. And you know who owns Fusion? Univision. It was in The Huffington Post. I said, let me get some of these articles because I've heard some horrible things. I do a lot of talking with people on the border patrol. They're incredible people. They help our country

I'm far from being a Trump supporter but he's inelegantly saying that if we would only control the boarders we would minimize the abuse.

...do it for the poor abused kids.

Then sell it back to the Oneidas for what the white feller bought it.

Why the whole country will end up being owned by Elizabeth Warren.

Trump was not hurt by Macy's--he said that he only sold some neckties there. It is hard to hurt the rich economically.

As for what Donald said, some Democrats agreed with him that criminal statistics backed him up.

Donald is running because he has good hair.

What am I going to do with 100 chickens, 3 rusty knives and a peck of potatoes?

Have a chicken fry to raise money for your new home.:thumbs:

How could they be legal immigrants if they did not have permission to be here, let alone invite others? Who gave the green light? Native Americans? Central Americans?.

There were no laws- thus no laws were broken.

I tend to be against illegal immigration except in cases where amnesty or protection is needed. .

and the US Govt authorizes that - thus it is legal.

Wow. Really? Suggesting plane tickets? Helping pack? Talk about harassing remarks based on race and/or ancestry! Done pretty much anywhere else but the Internet, this and other comments over time could pretty easily be a federal violation of civil rights, and even on the Internet it still can be in certain situations. Just not this one.
Guess it proves the need for protected classes. This crud still exists in the hearts and minds of people.

LOL, Macy's sure must want all that cheap labor. The Donald isn't through with them, this was a bad call on their part.

Being against wide-open borders isn't hate speech and it isn't a civil rights violation. Mexico is another "nation of immigrants", look at their immigration policy.

I'm part Cree and there wasn't even a country when Canada or the USA was settled. They were a bunch of nomadic tribes that went from place to place and had no concept of land. And look what happened to them and learn, since now we're the ones being invaded

When you sell it back to them, make part of the deal that you get - say 1.5% of the gross sales -when they open up a C-Store.

Turning Stone Casino generated $16 million in slot machine revenue alone during a 28 day period March 2- 31, 2014. Just the slots! $16 million dollars excluding the hotel, restaurants, the other 50 or so games of chance, golf course, gift shop sales, etc.

I think they could probably get by without me.

Seriously now, how many Mexicans do you know who shop at Macy's:tongue3::laugh:

Nobody said being against immigration is hate speech. I was referring to comments made to Zaac here and in other threads.

Here is a map of the states in 1830. Yes, Mexico was a country, after winning independence from Spain. The Alamo, Battle of San Jacinto...check out Texas history. It might be illegal to NOT remember the Alamo! Surely it is one of the most remembered history lessons from school days.
