There were 160 protesters arrested in Austin, TX this week as well. 60 were not registered or didn't vote. Same s--t we saw back in the 60's with SDS and other political college groups. Many students and even non-students joined in as it was a happening. They didn't care what the protest was about, it beat sitting around your dorm room or apartment and something to talk about.
As for as the popular vote, the Democrats took office in a fairly recent election (can't remember which but might have been Obama) the same way. Popular vote went to Republicans but electoral votes went to Democrats. They didn't care then, but now they're singing the blues.
There is no doubt this was a very close election and proves this country is really diametrically opposed on how we think.
People were friendly enough, but it was definitely 3rd world caliber. I can't much blame them for wanting to escape those conditions, but do it LEGALLY!
It's a sad situation, but has existed as long as Mexico. But, to think by letting them overrun our boarders, we can solve all their problems is dangerous thinking. This goes way beyond building up your voter base. We have done nothing to discourage this and the citizens of the US who pay taxes to keep this country a place to be proud of are very tired paying for this folly. If you try to solve the problems of the world, you will just become part of it, because it's too big for any one country to handle. There are many, many very rich people in Mexico, but you never hear about them spending their money to take care of their destitute people.
