Not true… he is on the record for supporting immigration reform to address the current issues, which by the nature of the concept, would require legal action, which would mean it’s not “illegal”, by definition..American politics would be far more civilized if people stopped making up facts at random.
Top Republican officials and donors are increasingly worried about the threat Donald Trump’s attack on a judge’s Mexican heritage could pose to their party’s chances in November — and about the GOP’s ability to win Latino votes for many elections to come.
House and Senate GOP leaders have condemned Trump’s remarks about Curiel, while donors have openly worried that losing Latino voters could doom them in key down-ballot races. Other important party figures, including former Speaker Newt Gingrich, are urging Trump to change his combative, confrontational style before it’s too late.
All Trump said about the judge was that hsi background would bias him. That is the same thing the liberal icon justice Sotomayer has said. Where’s the racism in his statement?
This group is not the National Council of La Raza, the Hispanic civil rights nonprofit organization that has pushed for comprehensive immigration reform in Congress with a pathway to citizenship and legalization for undocumented immigrants. It’s often referred to as simply “La Raza,” especially in the context of the immigration debate.
To recap this simple fact: San Diego La Raza Lawyers Association ≠ National Council of La Raza.
When Trump began his public tirade against Curiel, Trump campaign spokeswoman Katrina Pierson and other supporters conflated the two groups, which both use “La Raza.” But now, even conservative groups have acknowledged that they are separate organizations."https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2016/06/07/trump-supporters-false-claim-that-trump-u-judge-is-a-member-of-a-pro-immigrant-group/
Good Lord… do you even bother to look up the laws and facts before speaking?.When it comes to educational opportunities, all children (including those of non-citizens here illegally) must receive equal access. Period. As an educator and someone holding an admin degree, I know this well. So does anyone who actually does their research before posting..On an additional note, the recipients of these scholarships would all have had to fill out financial disclosures (FAFSA) to receive any aid or scholarship; that’s standard practice. So they would have needed to notify the federal government and receive an approved status to apply (see https://studentaid.ed.gov/sa/eligibility/non-us-citizens for more info). In other words, your whole claim of giving “illegals” scholarships is an asinine lie that the law and reality reject outright..So instead of believing a lie from the extreme fringe, next time, do your homework..Shameful, sir. Shameful.
Further evidence, from the investigation by the Washington Post: “Another misleading claim is that the organization gave a scholarship to an undocumented student in 2014, when Curiel served on the scholarship selection committee. In reality, the student identified himself as undocumented only after he was selected for a scholarship.” In other words, it came out as part of his background, but wasn’t part of him getting a scholarship, or something anyone (including the judge) would have known. And he obviously had met the other requirements needed to enroll..The investigators gave the claims (about La Raza, the bias, and the scholarship) four pinocchios. In other words, a lie..Seriously, do your homework, please, before posting again.

Yes, let’s block paths to citizenship, like two of three Trump wives. (Well all three may be aliens when you consider where Maples came from.)

FYI:“As The Post and other media outlets have pointed out repeatedly, Curiel is a member of the San Diego La Raza Lawyers Association, which is a professional organization for Latino lawyers. The group is the San Diego local affiliate of the California La Raza Lawyers Association, whose membership comprises lawyers practicing in California, and is a 501©(6) nonprofit trade organization. It has an affiliated 501©(3) scholarship fund that awarded 22 scholarships totaling $34,000 in 2014. More on that later.
This group is not the National Council of La Raza, the Hispanic civil rights nonprofit organization that has pushed for comprehensive immigration reform in Congress with a pathway to citizenship and legalization for undocumented immigrants. It’s often referred to as simply “La Raza,” especially in the context of the immigration debate.
