Donald Trump has held photo ops with his National Hispanic Advisory Council and in recent weeks boasted about his increasing support from this crucial voting demographic.
But that was before his speech on immigration this week.
On Thursday, several who sit on the council announced their resignation, citing Trump's refusal to truly listen to their views on immigration reform.
Jacob Monty, a Houston-based immigration lawyer who was a member of the council, said in a Facebook post that he gave Trump a plan that would "improve border security, remove hardened criminal aliens and most importantly, give work authority to millions of honest, hard-working immigrants" in the country.
"He rejected that," wrote Monty, announcing his resignation from the council after Trump's speech. "So I must reject him."
In his immigration address Wednesday, Trump put forward several hard-line proposals, including new limits and entry criteria for legal immigrants, while also reaffirming a pledge to deny legal status to anyone who remains in the country illegally.
CBS News reported Thursday that 15 of nearly two dozen members on the council had resigned.

Looks to me like this would be a really pre-planned move. “If you don’t give me what I want, I quit.”
Well, Latino “leaders”, you just outed yourselves as unable to work with someone.
Tell me next time how things work out when you tell a boss, “Hey, this is what we should do.” And the boss decides to go another way.
Another LAT hit piece.
Once a day, they keep coming and we’ll see more of them through Election Day.
Their interests are not our interests
Hasta la vista baby
Enjoy the clinton economy if you help her get elected
More loyal to Mexican ethnicity than to the nation. Treason defined.
Who appointed these people to be “Latino Leaders”?
We are going to roll over them like a 1000 ft. Tsunami come election day.
He’s been saying this all along.
The LA Times management has been a part of the Clinton journalistic whorehouse since Bill visited their offices way back in the 1992 campaign.
Assuming these asshats are all east LA types, who cares. Trump is not going to carry Cal so let them alienate the rest of the country with their stupid my way or the highway approach. They don’t have to support Trump, they can go support Hitlery. Yeah, that’s the ticket. Maybe she will deign to let you mow her lawn.
“...give work authority to millions of honest, hard-working immigrants...”
Eat $hit and die, you Latino a$$hole. If you came here illegally then you are most definitely NOT honest.
The President of Mexico fears, if Donald Trump becomes President, Mexico will be invaded by Mexicans?
STOP THE CLINTONS' ELECTION HEIST:
Require every voting machine to post the tallies
with a program dump every ten minutes to a public website.

SPREAD THESPREAD THE WORD! WORD!SPREAD THE WORD!SPREAD THE WORD!
This needs to go to the Trump campaign legal staff.
What's crucial about them?
If he actually wins the white vote it swamps the Mexican vote (can you believe we are talking about the Mexican vote in the United States? They don't worry about the American vote in Mexico), which is still quite small...unless you include illegals voting.
But it's all part of the chest thumping by an ethnic group which has not much to show for all its claims.
Which is why Trump should basically ignore them and continue to market to his real base: the Americans, who actually constitute a nation and should not be letting hostile foreigners pretend they own the country.
Hillary moles. They were waiting for the moment to put on a show.
Correct. Monty was a plant and never intended to support Trump.
Their only reason for being on the Trump campaign was to try and influence him to go light on immigration.
He didn’t and they are gone.
Good!
