Treasure Island Las Vegas
Donald Trump spoke for one hour in a format where it was as if 1,600 people were seated in his living room, having a conversation.
We arrived about 4 hours early to stand in line and were one of the first groups to enter the theater. We sat in the VIP section.

We did a lot of media interviews.

With some gathering as early as 4 a.m., a crowd of hundreds of supporters gathered at the Mystere Theater at Treasure Island on the Las Vegas Strip to hear Republican frontrunner Donald Trump deliver a speech in what The New York Times is calling a “High Noon Out West” showdown between Trump and Florida Senator Marco Rubio, both of whom are in town today in campaign appearances. Standing in line to see Trump, Stan Vaughn, a Republican candidate for the state Assembly, said that Trump was “the only one who can create jobs for 95 million Americans.” One Las Vegas business student echoed the sentiments, saying, “Trump is the most trustworthy and honest candidate.”
Several Latino supporters were present in the crowd. Colombian immigrant Myriam Witcher praised the real estate mogul’s opposition to illegal immigration, saying, “He needs to send illegal (immigrants) out of the country. I came here legally.” She added that since she had waited five years to receive a visa that other immigrants ought to wait as well.
“I’m Hispanic, Latina and I love me some Trump,” she said. “He’s the perfect man, a businessman.”
“I like what Trump says about securing the borders,” said Raul Rodriguez Jr. of Apple Valley, California, who described himself as “an American first, of Mexican descent.” He is the coordinator of America First Latinos, a group organized by the Remembrance Project, which describes itself as honoring “Americans who have been killed by illegal aliens.” Rodriguez, a retired grocery warehouse worker, added, “the thing I like about Donald Trump is he’s not a professional politician. Obama has destroyed our country.”
Ellie Richel from Henderson protested the notion that Trump supporters were unintelligent. She said she had two degrees — one in business and one in dental hygiene. She said she would be caucusing for Trump because of his proposal to put up a wall between the United States and Mexico. Rubio, she said, was too “establishment” for her.
Trump is scheduled to speak at noon today in Nevada, a critical early-voting state in the Republican nomination. His appearance comes on the same day that Rubio will begin a three-day campaign swing here, beginning this evening with an appearance at Sun City Summerlin.
The rival events highlight the stark contrasts between the two candidates. Trump will be speaking in a room that houses a Cirque du Soleil show — and seats over 1,500. Rubio will take a more conventional approach, speaking at a retirement community, a happy hour at the Havana Grill in Las Vegas and in Boulder City. He’s also meeting with donors today in what has been billed the “Quarter Four Strategy Summit.”
ICE RELEASED 30,000 convicted criminal aliens in 2014 (and another 36,000 in 2013), according to data obtained by the House Judiciary Committee. The president’s executive actions are part of a larger strategy to allow as many illegal aliens as possible to remain in the United States. That policy has added to the 347,000 convicted criminal aliens who are currently released into the interior, 1,400 of whom are known to have committed new crimes. Their victims are collateral damage of federal government’s sanctuary policies.

“…Catholic Charities gets billions of taxpayer dollars for refugee resettlement and general immigration services, which puts it into the category of a smallish government agency. For example, in 2010, 62 percent of Catholic Charities’ budget was funded by the unwilling taxpayer. The feds and the Catholic bishops are partners.”http://www.vdare.com/articles/memo-from-middle-america-refugee-industry-profiteering-so-gross-even-time-magazine-has-noticed
Every congress member is given an annual budget to cover staff salaries, travel to and from the home district, official mail to constituents and other office necessities. The budgets vary. The average budget for 2011 was $1.45 million.
