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.

I should not have referred to ‘Politico’ as having anything to do with ‘news’. They are not worthy to be considered as part of the national news media. They are a leftist organ propped up by a bloated false government subscription base.
hinckley buzzard wrote of three hispanic groups, Mexican, PuertoRican and Cuban origin, none of them like each other much, and most have no patience with illegals of any origin.
You got it...There’s open hostility to each other. For example as a bar tender those of Mexican heritage I’ve met you won’t hear of them who are rum consumers ever ordering Puerto Rican rum . The term “hispanic” was applied to peoples using spanish as their primary language. They can be of black,white,red, or even yellow colored skin. After the socialists got a hold of it, it got perverted into being used as a racial identification.
And because the most prominent are Mexican illegals who refuse to assilimilate. Pimarily because of the contunuing claim of US territory,promoted by the Mexican government educational systen and such groups as LaEaza which none of the candidates including Trump have yet to touch on. The term “hispanic” is generally applied to them .
