Trump Keeps Beating The Anti-Mexico Drum: 'They're Killing Us At The Border!'

Presidential candidate and (former) reality-TV star Donald Trump on Tuesday continued to rail against Mexico even after NBC-Universal severed business with him for his comments on Mexican immigrants.

Firing off a pair of tweets early in the morning, Trump restated his hard line against Mexico ("not our friend&quot while making sure to add, "I love the Mexican people." He complained of the country is "killing us" on the US border and gobbling up American jobs.

Trump's remarks calling immigrants "rapists" and drug dealers during his presidential announcement speech have defined most of the buzz around his candidacy so far.

First, Spanish-language broadcaster Univision severed its ties with Trump on Thursday, saying it was pulling the plug on its broadcast of his Miss USA pageant, prompting Trump to threaten a lawsuit.

On Monday, NBC, which produced Trump's reality-TV vehicle "The Apprentice" and "Celebrity Apprentice," announced it too would be dropping Trump due to his "derogatory statements" about immigrants. That included his Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants.

I think Trump's anti-Mexican tirades could make him lose Texas. How great would it be for Texas to turn blue over his hate mongering.

Let him come out west where the largest single bloc of voters are Latino. I really really hope he is the R candidate...it would be a full employment program for comedy writers.
