Trump protesters, Mexican flag-wavers could bring unintended consequences for GOP race
Los Angeles Times ^ | April 29, 2016 | By Ruben Vives and Shelby Grad•

The protests outside Donald Trump's rally in Costa Mesa on Thursday night appear to point to an upcoming month of activism by Latinos and others as the GOP front-runner tries to seal the presidential nomination in the state.

While the billionaire businessman has faced protests elsewhere, California could prove to be potent ground for demonstrators because of its large Latino population and Trump's negative comments about immigrants in this country illegally.

A USC/Times poll found that 77% of Latinos in California have a negative view of Trump. Yet among Republicans, Trump is ahead in that poll and several others.

Although Orange County was once a white, conservative bastion, its demographics have changed in recent decades. It's still reliably Republican, but GOP registration has declined significantly. The county's population has diversified, with an influx of Asian and Latino residents slowly diminishing the political clout of white voters.

"This is the anger people have against Trump," said Jose Cruz, 21, as he pointed to the protesters running in the middle of the street.

"...dangerous life threatening endless chain immigration and open border policies"

Actually these policies were put in place by the Kennedy brothers John, Robert and Ted.


True, and long ago. Many Americans don't realize how long it has been going on, and just how fundamentally the stars of the Democrat Party like the Kennedys and the rest of the Democrat machine pitted themselves against our Constitution, our Founding and the people. Their alternate-race-and-other-culture-favoring bill was specifically aimed at destroying the white European Christian majority, even though our legal system and Constitution were rooted in English common law and JudeoChristian values — laws and values that are eviscerated when pitted against non-Western cultures and religions.

Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965

It seems the poster is suggesting Cruz and the rest in D.C. who have 100% aided and abetted lawless open borders and chain immigration for decades, blame Kennedy from the 60s? Was all that written in stone, never to be changed? Has everyone in D.C. been totally helpless to do anything all these decades? Really?

No one buys that lie.

It’s not so much a lie as a Gordian Knot. Once the immigration bill was passed on the rhetoric of breaking down white supremacy and racism, there was virtually no turning back through the public dialog of our Congress. On what grounds could any succeeding administration cut back or change the “noble” purpose of defeating racism? White guilt was the leading psychosis of the times. Only now that this experiment is unmistakeably failing and despoiling everything it touches can the pushback begin.

So you’re suggesting Cruz and the rest in D.C. who have 100% aided and abetted lawless open borders and chain immigration for decades, blame Kennedy from the 60s. It all written in stone, never to be changed. Everyone in D.C. has been totally helpless to do anything about lawless violent borders and destructive chain immigration policies.

So there ya have it.

Trump doesn’t need a SINGLE Latino vote to win a landslide victory. All he needs is 4.5% more WHITES than Romney got...and pray that all those stupid White women who gave us Obama get some sense in their heads this time.

“Would be true irony if President Trump hired the protesters to build the wall.”

Yes, and they can build it from the OTHER side!

It seems the "public" and the "dialog" is just about ready to make the change back to America first, for the first time in decades.
