Donald Trump Promises Green Cards To Mexicans Who Will Help Build Southern Border Wall

TIJUANA, Mexico (The Adobo Chronicles, San Francisco Bureau) – We already know Donald Trump’s campaign promise to build a wall between Mexico and the U.S. southern border.

The Republican presidential candidate promised that the wall will be big, beautiful, tall and strong. Spanning 1,000 miles, he says it will stem the flow of immigrants bringing drugs and crime.

As far as who’s paying to build the wall, Trump says Mexico will.

Naturally, the Mexican government responded by saying there is no way it is going to pay to build the wall.

So, Trump has a brilliant, alternative idea.

In a campaign stop in San Diego today, near the Tijuana border, Trump announced yet another promise — this time to the citizens of Mexico.

“If elected president, I will ask volunteer Mexican citizens to help build the wall. In return, every volunteer will be awarded with a U.S. green card, the first step towards their American citizenship.”

The Trump campaign office urged interested Mexican citizens to contact the candidate directly through his Twitter account by sending their names and contact information to @realDonaldTrump.

The deadline to sign up is July 30, 2016.

Donald Trump’s Newest Campaign Promise: “I Will Do To America What I Did To My Businesses”

NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – There isn’t any doubt that Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has extensive business experience that makes him qualified to effectively handle the U.S. economy.

The real estate mogul is running on the campaign meme of “Make America Great Again!”

As the Republican National Convention draws near, and as he embarks on the general elections campaign against Democratic presumptive nominee Hillary Clinton, Trump has made yet another promise to the voters (other than building a border wall with Mexico and banning all Muslims from entering the U.S.)

“I will do to America what I did to my businesses,” he said.

So, America, expect the country to be bankrupt. Not once, but four times! That’s at least one bankruptcy per year during his first four-year term as president.

San Francisco Declares All Gay Bars As Historical Sites

July 5, 2016 Pol Pinoy Leave a comment

SAN FRANCISCO, California (The Adobo Chronicles, San Francisco Bureau) – Upon the recommendation of Supervisor Scott Wiener, San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee today signed an executive order declaring all gay bars in the city to be “historical sites,” protecting them from demolition and conversion to condo units while freezing their rents to pre-1980 levels.

The unprecedented move was prompted by news that one of San Francisco’s oldest gay bars, The Stud, faces possible extinction. Its building on Harrison Street has been sold, rent is expected to increase three-fold, and the club’s owner is retiring and moving back to Hawaii.

The 50-year-old bar is considered by many as San Francisco’s Stonewall where the U.S. gay movement is believed to have started.

“We need to preserve San Francisco’s reputation as the gayest city in America and we cannot afford any more closures of any of our gay bars,” Wiener told The Adobo Chronicles. By recommending the executive order to Mayor Lee, Wiener says it belies accusations by his gay constituents that his is “pro-business.”

Wiener also said that he will also file a resolution before the Board of Supervisors authorizing the City and County of San Francisco to confiscate that “one gay bar/restaurant on Castro Street which was demolished, renovated but never opened. “The owner of that business also owns two other gay bars in the Castro.

“Perhaps the city can convert that vacant space into a government-run gay bar which could generate additional revenue to solve the homeless problem in San Francisco,” Wiener said.
