Donald Trump could win over Hispanics who fear job competition from illegals
Washington Times ^ | 11/3/15 | Ralph Z Hallow

To hear political pundits tell it, Donald Trump has little chance to attract enough Hispanic voters to win the presidency in 2016 because of his plans to build a border wall and deport all illegal immigrants in America. Some pollsters and activists who have whipped up past Hispanic support for Republicans, however, see it differently.

....."I don't care if he likes me or not as a Hispanic or Latino, as long he creates the jobs he promised," said Carlo Maffatt, a Mexican immigrant who lives in Las Vegas and who did political liaison work in the Hispanic community for Republicans during the 2012 presidential election. "He is never going to take me out for a beer, so it doesn't....

My experience shows that those who jumped through the years of hoops to gain legal status are boiling mad at the coddling of illegals.

Trump’s vanguard issue of the illegal alien invasion will elicit whatever ‘hispanic’ votes are cast for Republicans.

It is a good tactic and one Trump should use often. Make the wet backs fear the loss of their own jobs by other competition hungrier than they are.

Fear, the strongest tool against weak minds.

That is exactly why they are voting for Trump...

They can see the hand writing on the wall, illegals taking their jobs, not going to work...

GOPe says to the media that Trump wants them all to go home to scare them and then gives the media some fake poll numbers thinking they will go back to wringing their hands thinking maybe Trump will send us all back...rope a dope games of the GOPe..

Trump is leading with the Hispanics but the GOPe doesn't want you to know that...

Well in a hypothetical head to head with Granny he’s getting 31% of the Hispanic vote in a new baynews9.com state wide very comprehensive survey in Florida. But the better news is there are 8% undecided. This gives Trump an upside of 39% which is enough to neutralize the Hispanic vote. In a Sept nationwide poll, SurveyUSA found Trump getting 35% with 8% undecided.
So yes without really campaigning to them specifically, Trump has a great starting point with Hispanics.

White liberal elite democrats want Hispanics to become the ‘new blacks’ - angry, poor, resentful and DEMOCRATS.

Sadly for creepy liberal elite jerks, Hispanics are interested in being the ‘new Americans’...

Big difference. Republicans welcome Americans who just happen to be Hispanic... they’re part of the family.

My experience shows that those who jumped through the years of hoops to gain legal status are boiling mad at the coddling of illegals.

Count me among them. Took us 10 years and as many thousands of dollars in lawyer fees to get green cards. Finally became eligible for citizenship in November 2014 - just not sure we want to take the final step any more. It's not the same country we came to :-(.
