Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump met with Javier Palomarez, CEO of the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, behind closed doors Tuesday to discuss a number of issues important to Hispanic voters.
According to a statement by USHCC, the meeting was requested by Trump and lasted more than one hour at the billionaire's Fifth Avenue office building in New York City. Although USHCC has previously denounced Trump's rhetoric–particularly on the topic of immigration — as "harsh" and insensitive," Palomarez reportedly agreed to the meeting after Trump's advisers stressed that the pair's disagreement was "based on the media's mischaracterization of his stances."
"We wanted to hear Mr. Trump clearly articulate his views, away from the public spectacle, the media, and the debate floor," read the statement.
Palomarez told CNN Tuesday that he found the "dichotomy between the private Donald Trump and the public Donald Trump" intriguing and noted that the characteristically brash businessman "listened a lot more than he spoke."

Has he met with the Caucasian Chamber of Commerce yet?
aka "Common Sense".
Don’t go soft on Illegal Immigration Donald. Is it worth losing all your Tea Party and other conservative support to appease a bunch of wet backs?
Trump will have his way. Get the wetbacks to force Mexico to pay for the Wall!
..this will be a watershed event
It will prove whether or not this a pander or a public acknowledgement of two irreconcilable world views.
The comments on Ramos tell me where Palomarez is at...
Trump is a panderer. First he panders to conservatives and makes us think he is one of us - but to those of us who are smart, we saw right thru his little facade.
Now he is pandering to pro-amnesty groups.
Next he will pander to Black Lives Matter.
Just returned from Colombia last night and had a lot of friends there ask me about Trump. The RATS have taken full advantage of going after Trump’s so called anti Hispanic comments. This will fade Im sure but currently the mood is sticking as anti Trump from most Hispanics I know.
I think we will see a split between mexicans and the other Hispanics as time goes by.
Time will tell.
