The presiding judge in a lawsuit filed by former students of Trump University, he has been called a “hater” of Mr. Trump by the presumptive Republican presidential nominee himself. At a rally last week, Mr. Trump said the judge “happens to be, we believe, Mexican,” suggesting that he was biased because of Mr. Trump’s calls to build a wall along the border to prevent illegal immigration. Angry supporters have been calling the judge’s chambers.
Mr. Trump repeated his argument in an interview on Thursday. “I’m building the wall, I’m building the wall,” Mr. Trump said. “I have a Mexican judge. He’s of Mexican heritage. He should have recused himself, not only for that, for other things.”
Was Trump right to attack this judge?

I think, if the judge or his parents are from Mexico, that it's reasonable for Trump to ask the judge to recuse himself. I sincerely believe that, within our legal system in cases like this, even the PERCEPTION of bias should be avoided.
If the judge was a amnesty proponent and or associated with pro-amnesty groups like LaRaza or southern poverty center and pro-open borders groups I could see Trump having a valid reason to question the credibility of the judge. Questioning the judge's credibility simply for being of Mexican decent is not credible, not everyone of Mexican decent or a legal immigrant from Mexico supports amnesty/legal status for illegals or open borders.Although amnesty proponents would have everyone believe that everyone of Mexican decent is a amnesty supporter as their excuse for saying republicans should support amnesty.Was Trump right to attack this judge?

Well , if 20 million of his Country men and women could be deported how neutral could he be ??? A duh moment . :shock:
If the judge was a "no name" neutral judge, we wouldn't have having this argument.
This is what is wrong with this county. You can't trust any branch of government anymore. Demand a fair shake and you are a "racist" and are supposed to run like hell.
He was born in Indiana.
As a natural born American citizen I consider him my countryman.
Why you seem to think he has some overblown allegiance to recent or illegal Mexican immigrants, absent any actual evidence that he has such leanings, is emotional, irrational drivel.
I'm Irish and German in ethnicity and I could care less whether or not our government caters to those foreign national governments and I certainly don't have any interaction with or interest in resent immigrants, legal or otherwise, from those places.
I'm about as strong a Trump supporter as you're going to find her on DP (or anywhere else for that matter) but Trump simply dropped the ball here.
He heard the guy was associated with La Raza and didn't bother to find out exactly which La Raza that was, and then went off half-cocked.
And his parents ??? lol
