Donald Trump says what's on his mind. Let's hear just what that sounds like if some ordinary guys say it.
'In desperation and insanity, you call for a ban on all Muslims entering this country. I was raised to believe that we are all each other's brother and sister, regardless of race, creed or color. That means if you want to ban Muslims, you are first going to have to ban me. And everyone else.'
Last year, the hotel violated federal labor law by suspending five workers for wearing union buttons and talking to their coworkers about the union drive.

UNITE HERE's Culinary Union Calls for Immediate Contract Negotiations. We voted yes to make our jobs good jobs with fair wages and job security, said Celia Vargas, a housekeeper at the property. We won that vote, so our voices and votes should be respected.
Trump's proposal taps into a reservoir of racism that is part of American history. FDR ordered American-born and immigrant Japanese people into prison camps at the outset of World War II, one of the worst violations of the Constitution.

Anti-Islam feeling is rampant...all it needs is a leader.
