YORK, Pa. (AP) — President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign is making contrarian appeals in the most unusual places, trying to win over Hispanic voters in states not known for them, like Pennsylvania.

His second campaign, far better financed and organized than his first, is pressing every potential tactical advantage, including trying to capture even small slivers of the Hispanic vote, hoping it adds up to the narrowest of winning margins.

“I think that you win campaigns with what we call ‘tajaditos.’ Little bits. You have to have a little bit of this and a little bit of that,” said Bertica Cabrera Morris, a Cuba native and “Latinos For Trump” advisory board member. “You don’t need everyone from every group, but you have to have a little bit of everything.”

there’s a whole LOT of Latino citizen support for PDJT
(on both moral values and immigration issues)
if he really reaches out for it

he has to reach out for it because much of the mass media INCLUDING the Spanish=language media) is spewing out anti-Trump propaganda....but I am convinced he can overcome this disadvantage by really reaching out visibly ... with his honest messages.... for the votes)

For many reasons, not the least of which is the president’s hostility toward immigrants

That is a LIE. He's fine with legal immigrants, especially the good ones.
