The poll but not in a lot of detail

My wife is from Mexico. Came here legally, jumped through all of the various hoops that INS threw her way, became a citizen about 9 years ago.
She is an extremely enthusiastic Trump supporter. Yeah, she was spitting nails with his first speech of the campaign, but she’s listened to what he’s said since and it makes sense to her.
FYI, whenever we go to Mexico for family events, she always tells me that she’s glad to get back home - that she couldn’t take living in Mexico any more. She’s clear that the country has many flaws (and, truth be told, we do), but she knows intellectually and emotionally that Mexico has many, many more.
I don’t think that she is atypical - Trump will, as he has been claiming for quite a while, get a large percentage of the Hispanic vote. It might not be a majority, but it doesn’t have to be - it just has to be about 35% and he wins in a landslide.
“Jerry Rivers was on FNS claiming ALL Hispanic hate Trump just this morning.”
Third poll in a week tied. If GOP gets its crap together, Trump will not only win the Electoral College, but the popular vote as well.
Most legal Hispanic Americans do oppose illegal immigration unless they have been radicalized by La Raza and Chicanos por la Causa types.
Those groups are subversive.
Thanks for the link.
Trump should appeal exclusively to working hispanics who are citizens and with legal visas with the following argument: The day 11 million illegal immigrants are given work permits as Dems are advocating is the day when you get kicked off the ladder and lose your job and/or your wages no longer rise because of the 11 million person immediate oversupply in the labor force looking to replace you.
The other argument to make to legal immigrants is that they spent 4 to 9 years of their life in Bureaucrat Hell and paid thousands of dollars in legal fees in order to become legal. Can they really stomach a bunch of turnstile-jumping freeloaders?
He’s an IDIOT!
The ONA poll was commissioned to Gravis, which has a mediocre rep, a heavy Republican bias. Maybe they're on to something here, but I'd really like to see it borne out among more reputable pollsters (let alone the ballot box) before I let it get any hopes up. Because pretty much every other poll on Hispanic preferences to date has shown far grimmer results.
If Hispanics are LEGALLY here they WANT the border CLOSED!!!! Illegals are taking their jobs also, my hair stylist is Hispanic and gay SOLID TRUMP supporter!!! He LOVES Trump!!!!
“I would think Hispanics in the country legally would stand against illegal immigration.”
Most Hispanics in the US are citizens, and were born here.
Along with naturalized Hispanic citizens, both those categories would be expected to value legal status.
Mr. Trump needs to assure people that he knows the distinctions.
