Hispanic activists have two words for Donald Trump thank you.
I think the greatest thing to ever happen to the Hispanic electorate is a gentleman named Donald Trump, he has crystalized the angst and anger of the Hispanic community, U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce President & CEO Javier Palomarez told POLITICO in an interview. I think that we can all rest assured that Hispanics can turn out in record numbers.
Trump has rankled the Hispanic community from Day One of his presidential run when he called many illegal Mexican immigrants rapists and drug peddlers during his rambling announcement speech in June. Since then, hes driven the GOP field further right on immigration issues, in part with his aggressive proposal to have Mexico pay for a wall along the border with the U.S. and to deport 11.3 million undocumented immigrants in short order. While many activists find his comments downright offensive, they also see an opportunity. Trump has managed to get Latinos engaged with the 2016 race, and activists plan to exploit that to the fullest extent possible.
He really is just outrageous, hes built his entire campaign on attacking our community and really playing to the worst element of American society, said José Calderón, president of the Hispanic Federation, a nonprofit membership organization. In some ways, hes helping us out, the base is energized I think people are really eager to stand up and say this is not who we are and show that through our electoral process.
Calderón said in nonelection years, the Federation, which represents 100 community-based organizations across the country and is leading voter outreach efforts, can register about 25,000 Hispanics and on election years its about 60,000. But with Trumps comments driving people to the polls, Calderón believes they can register even more.

“playing to the worst element of American society”
Worse than the rapists and murderers who came here illegally?
You get angry and go to the polls, and so will we.
Thank you? No, thank you.
lie...... denying the truth to obscure it
all understand the truth of criminals and murderers and rapists
“I thought Trump was polling very well with Hispanics.”
Context and perspective are everything:
“U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce President & CEO Javier Palomarez told POLITICO in an interview. I think that we can all rest assured that Hispanics can turn out in record numbers.
Key words: POLITICO, Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.
Feeling is mutual, Mr and Mrs Illegal.
The threat of which is why they never built a wall.
Build it and you get less peasant voters on the dole IMO.
This will be tested in Colorado, Nevada and other heavily Hispanic swing states.
Anecdotal evidence, but I see a lot of Hispanic support for Trump online.
I’ve seen poll numbers as well.
The media is getting a new set of marching orders after the FioRino takedown didn’t work as designed.
So now they plant some yahoo at a Town Hall and the Obama/Muslim story dominates. Then hit him as being a racist towards Hispanics on top of it.
Correct
Anyonym: Politically Correct
Concern trolling. More whites will come out for the opposite reason.
I saw a poll where he was polling 25% among Hispanics and will increase that number as they find out their job prospects will be far better than with Hillary.
Legal Hispanics to not come here for the weather. They come here to get better jobs and improve their life.
That's right, but it will be huge numbers of whites who are pi$$ed off and aren't going to take it anymore.
I see that same trend in the media as well. Lotta kids fresh out
of school who think “reporting” is finding people who will provide comments confirming their own biases and then building a “news” article around them.
That having been said, the Left has repeatedly assured us that we’re past a demographic tipping point where thanks to identity politics, Republicans - regardless of whether they’re Conservative or not, will never be able to win another national election. So why does it really matter what impact Trump is having on voter registration patterns?
In California, the ‘groundswelling of outrage’ by Latinos actually turned out to be quite a few of them voting FOR the legislation to curb benefits for illegals, ending bilingual education, and even rules that would require schools to report illegals to the authorities. (Of course, almost all of this was overturned by the courts - can't have the people actually taking action, you know.)
So they're right, it will bring out Latino voters (and black voters, and others) who will most likely do what happened in California - they'll vote to send illegals packing yet again.
Americans who can legally vote will turn out in droves as well to vote to end this invasions!
Politico - An appartchik of the liberal media. Note many legal immigrants will vote against the Democrats, as they waited to enter for years and the illegal just made their wait longer and longer!
You mean the illegal aliens who supposedly are not allowed to vote?
What the he&& is the “Hispanic Community”?
Just asking.
IMHO
“And I am starting to think the people who post these articles here are paid to do so.”
It does feel like a thread dump. Original poster just dumps it here and sits back and watches the show...
