DONALD TRUMP’S REVISED IMMIGRATION PROPOSAL

Trump’s new proposed U.S.-Mexico Border

LAS VEGAS, Nevada (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – Realizing that he won’t be able to force Mexico to pay for the great wall that he wants to build along the U.S. southern border, Republican  presidential candidate and frontrunner Donald Trump has revised his anti-immigration policy proposal.

Trump now wants to sell California, New Mexico, Arizona and Texas back to Mexico and use the money to pay for a new U.S. border wall north and east of these states.

Up until 1848,  California and its neighboring southwest states were internationally recognized provinces of free Mexico, until the U.S. decided it wanted those provinces, declared war on Mexico and stole them.

“I am a businessman and I make decisions based on what’s good for business,” Trump said. “Americans  and Mexicans both will thank me for it. It will finally put to rest America’s dragged-out immigration problem without costing us a cent.”

This new policy could very well be Trump’s ticket to The White House.

POPE FRANCIS WANTS TO MEET WITH DONALD TRUMP DURING U.S. VISIT

imageHAVANA, Cuba (The Adobo Chronicles® )  –  Pope Francis arrives in the U.S. on Tuesday for a six-day visit during which he will meet with President and Mrs. Obama, address a joint session of Congress, speak before the United Nations General Assembly and attend a huge Catholic family assembly in Philadelphia.

Despite his very tight schedule, the Pope says he would like to meet with Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump to discuss issues of immigration which has been at the forefront of the real estate mogul’s campaign.

Speaking in his native Spanish, Pope Francis told reporters: “Me gustaría mucho para reunirse con Donald Trump para darle un poco de charla sobre los migrantes y la inmigración y para darle un poco de nalgadas .” (I would very much like to meet with Donald Trump to give him a little lecture about migrants and immigration and to give him a little spanking.)

Trump has not responded to the Pope’s request but is expected to make time to meet with the Holy Father as a way to win the votes and support of the estimated 76 Million Catholic voters in the U.S.

Trump is Presbyterian but  even a solid vote from the denomination’s 1.7 Million members will not assure him of the Republican nomination or the presidency.

THE VATICAN, Italy – (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – Pope Francis has rejected a request by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump for a private audience when the leader of the Roman Catholic Church visits the United States September 22-27, 2015.

During his papal visit, Francis will meet with President and Mrs. Barack Obama, address a joint session of the U.S. Congress, speak before the United Nations General Assembly and attend a huge religious gathering in Philadelphia.

Trump has sent a letter to The Vatican requesting a short private audience with the Pope. The controversial candidate offered to fly the Pontiff to Las Vegas on his private jet for a meet and greet at the Trump Towers. “He wanted to seek the Pope’s advice on how to better reach out to America’s Catholic voters,” a Trump spokesperson said.image

In rejecting the request, Pope Francis said, “By the grace of God, I cannot agree to meet with someone who has denigraded migrants and hard-working people like the Mexicans. And Trump has the nerve to meet with me after his disparaging remarks about Latinos! Has he forgotten that I, too, am Latino? ”

Trump could not immediately be reached for comment.
