President Trump has issued a proclamation designating a “National Day of Remembrance” on Sunday for people killed at the hands of illegal immigrants.

“On this national day of remembrance we pause to honor the memory of every American life so egregiously taken from us by criminal illegal aliens,” the statement, emailed to reporters on Friday night, reads. “We solemnly stand with their families — our Angel families — who have endured what no American family should ever have to suffer.”

I prefer the term Mextraterrestrial. It’s progressive.

If you go by how they count COVID deaths, it's up to 813,294,482 Americans killed by illegal aliens.

I share the president's sentiments, but this was a dumb move politically. Hispanics are tribal (sorry, but it's true) and this won't go over well, even with legal immigrants

I thought legal immigrants were no fans of illegal immigrants?

They're not, and they take great pride in having immigrated legally

BUT, every legal immigrant probably has a cousin, or an uncle, whatever, who is in the country illegally. Or he knows people from back home (Guatemala, Nicaragua, etc) who is here illegally and a swipe at them can be perceived as a swipe at their homeland.

Case in point, a friend of mine legally immigrated here from Argentina about 20 years ago. He is a conservative and a registered Republican. But he voted against Trump last time and is voting for Biden this time because of Trump's talk about illegal immigrants. Like I said, tribal. And extremely sensitive about their patria .

I worked in Houston for a bit and dealt with a bunch of legal immigrants. They hate them.

Your "friend" is a dumb motherfricker and a disgrace to this country.

You should pummel him for being a retard.

Hispanics are very diverse and come from many places. They are not as tribal as you think.

Also, the ones who immigrated legally have no love for the others.

Believe me, I've had that conversation with him numerous times. It has actually affected our friendship

I imagine your friend isn't typical.

Why would a legally-immigrated Argentinian care about Mexican illegals?

He's a psychologist specializing in addiction, but he's also the pastor of a non-denomination Christian church on the weekends. A good percentage of his congregation is here illegally. He hears Trump's language as being disparaging to them.

I lived in South America for 6 years, and in Los Angeles for 27 years. I know Hispanics and I'm telling you that Trump is misjudging their character; their forma de ser. At a time when Trump needs Hispanic votes, this move is ill-timed
