Young Hispanics, Asian-Americans and African-Americans are much more likely to trust Hillary Clinton than Donald Trump to deal with immigrants living in the United States illegally. But young whites tend to trust Trump more on issues related to illegal immigration, including securing the border.

Among young people overall, 47 percent say they think Trump would better handle securing the border, 26 percent say Clinton would, and 18 percent say neither would.

That’s according to a new GenForward survey of adults age 18 to 30 by the Black Youth Project at the University of Chicago with the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. There’s little division on which candidate would better handle immigrants in the country now without permission, with 39 percent choosing Clinton, 38 percent Trump and 14 percent neither.

But on all those questions there are significant divisions based on race and ethnicity. …

Can’t believe that AP actually used the phrase “illegal immigration” in the first paragraph.

And this is why the Democrats go all out to flood the country with more of them and ensure that every felon can vote.

The problem is that the media associates Immigrants with Aliens and conflate the terms. So you cant have a Sane discussion of the topic. You can never get past bickering about the definition of the terms. So you can’t even approach the sensitive subject of what you’re going to do with half the population of mexico unlawfully residing in the southern half of the US. Because you’re talking to someone who associates illegal aliens, narcotics and coyotes streaming across the southern border with legal immigrants who spent years assimilating and expended great effort to become a citizen through the proper channels.

And then you have the democrat (and republican!!) politicians that don’t want to fix the broke immigration channels. Because every time you bring up the topic for legislation they want to have ‘Comprehensive’ legislation which is a euphemism for... “Amnesty for probably 50Million illegal aliens where a healthy percentage of them are either unemployable or downright criminal”. And probably the only qualification to obtain amnesty is to demonstrate a wild eyed frenzied angry fanaticism for the democrat party.

From what I can see of it, Donald Trump has an idea. He’s thinking outside of the box here. If I read him correctly I believe that he is going to work with Mexico to help them exploit their abundant natural and human resources. George Soros will see Mexico rising out of poverty and so naturally he will send in his army of Freegans and Occupy Wall street thugs. So mexico will build the wall to keep them from streaming illegally across the border.

But right now they’re chained down by the corruption in their socialist government and the Cancer of narcotic trafficking. So they’re stuck in 3rd world status. They have everything that’s required to be a 1st World National entity. The only thing that mexico seems to export well is Misery and Poverty the way every socialist nation does. Donald Trump could be a historic figure if he can successfully turn them around.

So Mexico will pay for the wall
Mexicans will go home.
Maybe they’ll take Barbara Streisand with them.

Seems like a better idea than ‘mass deportation’.

It’s certainly a bogus headline. 47 T to 26 H is hardly “divided”. It’s landslide Trump.

Are they willing to give up THEIR future so illegals can continue to pour in; or do they want you to give up your children and grandchildren’s future to allow illegals to continue to pour in? This is NEVER asked.

“AP actually used the phrase “illegal immigration” in the first paragraph.”.........

That’s called setting the stage to achieve the desired outcome.

Blatantly lying headline.
47 to 26 is pretty clear
