9/14/15, "Trump hammers 'this sanctuary cities crap' and jokes about replacing Obamacare with 'Donaldcare' as women CRY with joy while 20,000 enthralled Texans roar for 90 minute speech," Daily Mail, David Martosko, US Political Editor, Dallas
"Donald
Trump spoke for 90 minutes to a crowd estimated at 20,000 on Monday
night in Dallas, railing against 'this sanctuary cities crap'....
'We've
got a president who doesn't know what the hell he's doing!' Trump
trumpeted, later mocking President Barack Obama for claiming this year
in his State of the Union address that 'no challenge poses a greater
threat to future generations than climate change.'
'The
biggest threat we have is nuclear global warming, not global warming,'
Trump quipped, referring to the potential for a nuclear arms race in the
Middle East as a consequence of a deal Obama cut this summer with the
belligerent Islamist nation of Iran.
But
the billionaire politician fired his stiffest broadsides in Texas – the
ultimate American border state--at illegal immigrants, the 'sanctuary
cities' that give them safe haven from deportation, and the pundits who
have castigated him for declaring war on them all.
Gang members who are in the U.S. illegally, he pledged, 'will be out of here so frickin fast' if he takes over the Oval Office.
And
he returned to the brash rhetoric that made him a household name among
immigration watchers, referring to child-citizens born of illegal
immigrants as 'anchor babies' before allowing that 'I don't mean to be
disrespectful.'
Trump
said that just before emerging from the corner of the American Airlines
center, where the Dallas Stars hockey team and Dallas Mavericks
basketball team play, he had met with Texans who had lost family members
to a crime wave brought north by illegal border-crossers.
'Their sons, their daughters – killed by illegal immigrants!' Trump boomed. 'We have to stop illegal immigration!'
Chants of 'USA! USA! USA!' rang out even as a small group of immigrants' rights protesters demonstrated outside.
'We
have to build a wall, folks,' he said to a crescendo of cheers. 'We
have to build a wall. And a wall works. All you have to do is go to
Israel and say "How does your wall work?"'
The
crowd ate up every word, offering deafening applause. Near the back of
the main section of floor seats, two elderly women – one white and
another Hispanic – wept as they applauded.
'I
just never thought I'd see the day when someone would say the things
he's saying,' Katherine Trevino said afterward. 'We've waited too long
for this, and after eight years of Obama – that man! – in Washington,
it's not a minute too soon.'
Her
companion said in broken English that she didn't want to be named. But
she nodded and said she was 'very proud' to be there as Trump 'is saying
so many things with courage.'
'I started it at 11:00 this morning,' she told DailyMail.com. 'My husband helped me.'"

Comment: Re: wall on the border, Trump said he'd include a beautiful door in the wall so people could come and go legally.
