I guess he really only wants to get rid of the ones here illegally, unless he can make a buck off them
I didn't think I could have a lower opinion of Trump. They brought in teenage girls to work illegaly and ripped them off. Some of these girls weren't even 18. What a scumbag.

The mother jones article below has more detail and David Corn was on Lawrence O'Donnell talking about this.

Peña Nieto's approval rating was at 23% earlier this month. There might not be enough popcorn and nachos in the world were they to hold a joint press conference. I think it's just going to be a private meeting though.

And of course, tomorrow night is his big immigration speech in Arizona. Campaign insiders have been signaling that the softening is off the table and that this speech would be more red meat, but those reports came out before this detour to Mexico City was announced.

I doubt this would happen due to logistics, but why would Pena Nieto be open to a meeting that has the potential of legitimizing Trump's plans on immigration?
There's no way this happens. According to The Guardian D.Trump has California fundraisers in the morning, and his big speech in Phoenix at 6pm mst. A side trip to Mexico City in between is impossible using subsonic transport. Reporting this as an actual possibility is definitely a fail by the MSM.

E.Peña Nieto had previously invited both H.Clinton & Trump to visit.

FYI: Here in Borderlandia we got the "X": TV and radio stations that are licenced and broadcast from MX in English which target US markets. A few years ago now they started running MX government PSAs in English. One they're running right now on the radio, sponsored by the MX Senate (not Peña Nieto), is anti-Trump's "Wall", although it doesn't mention Trump by name.

I guess Trump is heading to Mexico according to the latest reporting. Seems like a good idea if he can manage to not look like a complete idiot.

Wtf is the angle for Mexico's president? Why on earth would he meet with Trump?
08-30-2016 , 11:42 PM
Pena Nieto confirmed on Twitter that he's meeting with Trump tomorrow.
08-30-2016 , 11:43 PM
Report: Jeff Sessions and Rudy Giuliani to accompany El Trumpo tomorrow.

Would he have any compelling reason to be a dick to Trump and turn it into an incident? Nieto said some pretty nasty things about Trump a few months ago (compared him to Hitler and Stalin). This could be very interesting....

How is legitimizing a white power scumbag good for Mexico? He is not winning so all you are doing is giving his racism a megaphone.

I don't think Pena Nieto would pull a stunt, just too risky in the remote scenario that Trump wins the election.

Tomorrow will be a very interesting day regardless.

In Trump's defense, this is standard operating procedure for the modeling industry and it's highly unlikely that Trump had anything to do with the day to day workings of the company. It was probably just like any other "Trump" company: He slaps his name on it and collects royalties but otherwise doesn't give two ****s about how it goes.

Apparently he had invited both candidates and Trump took him up on it. Probably he thought Trump would never accept.

He used agency models at events for his other companies. He used them on his TV show. His wife was a Trump model! Not that any of that matters when it comes to how many ****s Trump gives. If being a scumbag is standard, that is one standard Trump actually exceeds.

Btw to the person that gave me the $50 'black lives matter' freeroll, I don't need to collect on this (so we don't need to argue about whether he 'actually said it', I don't care since there was no consideration anyways), but Trump said today:

If the Trump's doc has no official relationship with Hilary (not in the same group as Hilary's doc, not employed by the same hospital, etc), then he is not a "covered entity" as defined in the law with respect to her information. The person that tells Trump's doc is violating HIPAA. Trump's doc revealing what he was told while dickish and likely unethical is not a HIPAA violation per se. When the fines get handed down, he's not going to be paying anything.

Think of this this way. If Hilary's doc tells a random homeless man Hilary's medical history and the random homeless man tells a bunch of people, is the random homeless man violating HIPAA. Obviously not, because he is not a "covered entity". Now substitute random doctor for random homeless man. It doesn't change anything so long as the doctor has no official relationship with Hilary.

As far as I know, Trump's doc does not have any official relationship with Hilary (even if he is a business associate of Hilary's doc in some capacity, that would likely be enough). If he does, then he is violating HIPAA. Absent that, I can't see how he is.

That's true if you're an employee of the covered entity or have some other relationship.

For example if a nurse overhears something about another patient (that's not hers) and repeats it, that's a HIPAA violation.

On the other hand if you're visiting your Mom at the hospital, and you overhear something about another patient and then you repeat that, then you're not violating HIPAA. In that case, the violation was committed by the hospital that didn't take care to make sure that private info could be overheard by a visitor that shouldn't have been able to.
