Re: “By the way, who was your preferred candidate during the 2016 GOP primaries? Just curious.”

Trump, but only because he was the most Conservative candidate who had a chance to be elected.

I agree that Trump is better on Immigration than Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, but not by much.

Trump cut back on the number of refugees, and he has deported more criminal aliens than Obama.

Beyond that, I see no progress.

Trump's revocation of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for several hundred thousand immigrants is a charade. They are all allowed to apply for a different status, and they can postpone their removal for years in court if they have to.

He promised to end DACA. Instead he offered Amnesty to 2.4 million DACAs in exchange for a Wall that never got built.

He promised to build a Wall. Instead - right now - he's building tent cities for illegal immigrant families.

In the first 15 months of his Presidency, he conducted fewer workplace immigration raids than Obama did in his first 15 months.

Until May 2018, Trump secretly enforced the Bush-Obama border policy “Catch and Release.” Even I had not realized that, and I read about immigration EVERY day. When he got caught, after the first Caravan, he blamed his dereliction on DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen.

By the way, Trump appointed a Chief of Staff and a DHS Secretary who both publicly endorse Amnesty.

Trump's Executive Orders to stop DACA, to stop Muslim country immigration, and to stop Birthright Citizenship are a political charade. He deliberately sends pro-immigration anti-Conservative DOJ lawyers to plead his E.O. cases in Court. They will still be litigating on Trump's last day in office.

Most of Trump's basic stats look just like Obama’s.

Legal immigration - 1.1 million per year. New Green Cards - 750,000. New Naturalized Citizens - 750,000. Work Visas - no obvious cuts.

I was hoping that Trump would at least slow down our immigration political suicide, but that is not happening.

One of these days - maybe today - legal Hispanic voters will turn out in record numbers, and the game will be over for Conservatives.

Maybe when they vote repetitively and illegally, they might indeed attempt to overthrow the US to steal even more than they have.

BTW, it isn’t the Hispanic voters as much as the illegal Latino voters and those who accompany them from more foreign sources who are the threat.

The Hispanic voters are all voting for Trump endorsed candidates.
