    The tone and the language used here and by Trump is not just about illegals. The quotes prove that. I already challenged one user to provide evidence that the Mexican government was forcing these people into the country. We already heard from the conservative darling Coulter, that Mexican is not a race so any negative sterotyping or bigotry against Mexicans is not racism. Can Mexicans consider themselves a racial identity.?

    So instead of nitpicking whether a person stated racist or bigoted, let's just look at the tone and the overall negative stereotyping that is directed at all of the ethnic people of Mexico.

    "Mexican's love me. I have thousands of Mexicans working for me, in my hotels, in my office buildings in my casinos. My cleaning lady is Mexican...or Honduran, or something like that, I don't know, but she loves me. She thinks I'm great. It's great, it's really great. You should see how well I'm doing with Mexican's in the polls. It's great. It's huge how much they love me. I'll probably hire Mexican's to build the wall that Mexico is going to pay for, maybe hire some Muslims too. Then we're going to round them all up and deport them. But I don't want to reveal my plan because we don't want the enemy to know what we're thinking. It's part of my great plan. It'll be great, trust me, it's going to be great."

    The largest suppliers of heroin, cocaine and other illicit drugs are Mexican cartels that arrange to have Mexican immigrants trying to cross the borders and smuggle in the drugs. The Border Patrol knows this
    > Is this a true fact? Is he addressing that a wall would help stop both drug trafficking and illegal immigrants? Is it racists talking about Mexican cartels if they contribute highly to crime?

    the worst elements in Mexico are being pushed into the United States by the Mexican government.
    > Is this a true fact? Is he slandering all of mexico, or rather the a government and associated crime?

    What can be simpler or more accurately stated? The Mexican Government is forcing their most unwanted people into the United States. They are, in many cases, criminals, drug dealers, rapists, etc.
    > Again, true or not? Is this in anyway suggesting that the Mexicans, as a people in general, are bad? Governments and criminals are not parts of racism.

    Trump is being very clever when he makes these types of statements.
