Republican Colin Powell tells Trump some truths - very good

Powell said, “In Virginia, you don’t have to declare a party … but I’m still a Republican because I believe in a strong defense, because I believe in the entrepreneurial spirit that is so typical of the Republican Party in the past. But I’m having difficulty with the party now.”
Powell also criticized the anti-immigrant rhetoric that is currently so popular in the GOP, calling himself “a child of immigrant parents” and America “an immigrant nation.”
 Powell said, “We have been built on the backs of immigrants and we’ve always had difficulty with immigration policy throughout our history.
Then Powell called Donald Trump out by name, saying, “If I were around Mr. Trump — Donald — who I know very well, I would say, ‘You know, Donald, let’s see what happens. Let’s tell all the immigrants working at Trump Hotel to stay home tomorrow.’ See what happens. Are you kidding me? … Look who’s serving you. Guess who’s cooking in the back. Next time you walk through Dulles or Reagan, look who’s manning the counter. Look who’s cleaning things up. These are first generation American immigrants, who will raise children, who will grow up to higher things.”
