President Trump is poised to launch his 2020 reelection as popular with Hispanic voters as other Republicans, bucking predictions that provocative nationalist rhetoric and hard-line border policies would crater his support with this critical bloc.
When Trump, four years ago Saturday, descended the escalator to the lobby of his iconic New York skyscraper and announced his first campaign, he riffed that Mexicans "with lots of problems," including rapists, were crossing the southern border. Many Republicans, establishment and otherwise, were mortified. They fretted that nominating Trump, never mind electing him, would permanently doom the GOP with Hispanics.
It hasn’t worked out that way. Available polling consistently shows Hispanic support for the president at around 30% — about the same as it has been for many Republican politicians post-George W. Bush and pre-Trump. Indeed, Some party insiders focused on improving Hispanic support for the GOP now contend that he has room to grow with this cohort in next election.

They are Americans first, of course they support President Trump.
The “silent Trump voter” applies to all categories of voters including Hispanics.
It is likely the President’s strength among Hispanics (and Blacks, women, gays, etc)is anywhere from 5 to 10 points higher than polls indicate.
I found out to my surprise while ringing door bells for Trump in SW OH during summer of 2016, that Hispanics that are here legally and went thru the citizenship process and work hard like the rest of us truly resent illegal immigrants & the politicians that support them. They would call them Line Cutters.
They are not featured in the MSM because they do not fit narrative. However try speaking to a second or third generation Mexican American and ask them their opinion about open borders and free migration. You might be surprised.
“Despite?” More like, “Because of.””
Shhhhhh...don’t speak truth to the MSM...it gives them cognitive dissonance.
The two words our MSM always leave out, that mean sooooo much for context: legal, illegal. Let’s try an honest version of that headline:
Legal Hispanics stick with Trump because of tough border stance
Gosh you mean to say that there are Mexicans that don’t like rapists and thieves?
Bingo!
No one dislikes illegal immigration more than those who did it the right way!
So many are awesome patriots, loyal citizens and outstanding conservative advocates.
Those who don’t see it live an isolated existence.
That's why the DemocRATs want the illegals (aka "Undocumented Voters"). Legal immigrants are, well, too "American" for their tastes.
I can only speak of my regrettable 3 years in southern calif. The legal mexicans know how the system gets worked...either because they did/do it and know others that are the same. So now they’re in much the same spot as the white guy whos wondering why the wages suck. Its because the boss will hire workers for stupid low wages and no bathroom breaks.
The legal mexicans dont want the illegals either so they vote accordingly. The illegals will vote (what a disgusting shame) whatever it takes to stay here.
Because to the media, Hispanic = illegal alien.
The leftist media sees events thru a racial lens. Most average walking around people see events thru common human experience. Nobody likes line cutters.
“because of”
