GUTIERREZ. Mr. Speaker, ever since Donald Trump descended the
golden escalators at Trump Tower to announce his candidacy by saying
Mexican immigrants are rapists, murderers, and drug dealers, the
Republican Party has had Mexican fever, and they have been working
feverishly to paint immigrants all as criminals. And when something
goes bad, they go back to their old favorite. When Trump's Muslim ban was blocked in the courts, out came the
Attorney General to say they were doing everything they could to do
more roundups and that no immigrant was safe in America. The Russia investigation not going well for the dear leader at the
White House? Hey, let's whip out that Mexican thing, as Vice-President
Pence said.
