Latino organizers sensed an opportunity when they heard Donald Trump was bringing his presidential campaign to Marshalltown, a small farm city that is home to an increasing number of Latino immigrants and their children.

So they organized protests at the high school gymnasium where Trump spoke Tuesday, with about 50 young Latinos marching silently outside as a smattering of Trump supporters hurled insults and laughed at them.

But the protest was only the beginning. Down the street, advocates held a drive to register voters and educate immigrants on the complexities of next week's Iowa caucuses, the kickoff for the presidential nominating process.

Good old LULAC. That will backfire with the average Iowa voter, helping Mr. Trump.

Of course, non-Mexicans in Mexico would be ARRESTED, JAILED and DEPORTED for attempting to influence the Mexican political process! (But to point that fact out is considered racist in left-wing circles/s)

Yeah. I really don’t care about this at all. First of all I heard tonight they are expecting 150,000 to participate. How many are going to be Latino? Hardly any......if he loses a few cuz these idiots are going to caucus against him so be it. I don’t think they have much impact in Iowa. Now Nevada might be another story but well get to that bridge later.

” ... a small farm city that is home to an increasing number of Latino immigrants and their children.”

Translation:

” ... a small SANCTUARY city that is home to an increasing number of Latino ILLEGAL immigrants and their ANCHOR BABIES.”

FIFY!

Wow. The name really says it all, doesn't it? Not much loyalty to the United States. Oh well. Who are they going to caucus for? Jeb?

Indeed. I have had friends from Marshalltown, and been there myself; ate at Stoneys. I don't think too many of the good Lutheran farmers there will be interested in Lulac.

“Latinos”
Why do we use code language? WTH is a ‘latino’?
Why not just say ‘Mexicans’?

If they are illegal, how can they register to vote? Is the voting process that corrupted?

Trump has a lot of tribes in this in this country pissing their pants and shaking in their boots. Especially those tribes of foreign freeloaders who are living off the backs of the American taxpayers.
