    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?

    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.

    There were no laws- thus no laws were broken.

    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.

    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.
