Washington (AFP) - Billionaire Donald Trump has soared in opinion polls for the Republican presidential primary, but inflammatory anti-immigrant rhetoric could cost him the crucial Latino vote in the 2016 White House race.
"What Trump is doing is political suicide," says Patricio Zamorano, executive director of the consulting firm Infoamericas.info.
Since launching his campaign in June, "The Donald" has catapulted to the top of the Republican polls, ahead of 16 other candidates, and at 28 percent this week he is streaking away from his nearest rival by 16 points.
Immigration has dominated the agenda since then, with Trump, 69, promising to build a wall to keep Mexicans -- who he has attacked as drug traffickers and rapists -- from entering the United States illegally.
He has also promised to deport the more than 11 million people living in the United States illegally and to eliminate their US-born children's right to nationality, which the outspoken Trump sees as a magnet for undocumented immigrants.

But at the same time, the mega-rich developer has drawn anger and scorn from Hispanics, the fastest-growing US minority group, numbering 54 million, and 10 percent of voters.

Your are quite correct. The idiot does not know the difference between legal and illegal immigration.
On the other, the great preponderance of the American people.
This issue more than any other will demonstrate once and for all whether we resemble in any way the representative republic we were intended to be.
Trump wants to reduce legal immigration as well. If we don’t reduce legal immigration, the Dems will be the permanent majority party. Immigrants vote more than two to one Dem.
I don’t care what leftists & illegal foreigners think.
...“Democrats have opened our borders to all manner of horrific Third World violence, crime, and disease. The GOP has supported and endorsed this vile activity every single step of the way. Trump has tapped into the fury of the American people over the unrelenting anti-American NWO push of our paid employees in government. Trump could win this on this one issue alone. Americans are tired of being betrayed by their government on both sides of the aisle.”...
If it was going to blow up in his face, it would have already done so by now. Instead, quite the opposite has happened.
The 14th Amendment does NOT convey citizenship to children born of criminal, Illegal Aliens. That is a MYTH. The US Supreme Court has NEVER issued a ruling conveying birthright citizenship to those born of criminal, illegal aliens.
Why couldn’t the headline have been:
“Trump’s immigration policy could be the road to good times for all Americans?”
Meh
I really don’t give a flip what all the lefties and activists tell me
They believe only the cr@p comes into the US illegally. The same cr@p that went through their countries, illegally, and brought in the drug crimes of the past 20 years.
To them the gang banger who is running around raping little girls is EXACTLY the same as the person who came in with a visa and green card, worked for years and is now a US citizen.
The naturalized citizen is not exactly pleased with this.
The writer of the article and most of those quoted in it are pro-lawlessness. This nation has reached a point where we will either return to a lawful immigration system now, or the numbers and lawlessness will grow so much larger that there will be little hope in turning it back.
This is very true. I say this from personal knowledge.
Ramon, try walking aboard that 727 without going through security. You wouldn’t do it and you don’t want anyone else doing it. Why then are you turning a blind eye to those walking aboard U.S. America without a security check? Would it be a remote possibility that that back pack used for carrying heroin, could be used to carry a nuke? Think about your 20 million illegal friends who might die when that nuke triggers an EMP pulse to fry everything electronic. We have to weed out the bad guys imbedded with your illegal friends.
Yahoo *it figures, The IMMIGRANTS are not identified as ILLEGALS...they are. ILLEGALS!! and, as THE LAW does not give ILLEGALS a vote, what the hay. THE LAW is still in effect is it not? Well, it was at one time; now, not so much. Bite the bullet, big boys, your time is UP. Your children might be able to ‘stay’ but your bodies are about to travel. If you love your ‘child’ so much, take your ‘child’ with you. Speak our language, learn our history, our culture, go back from whence you came and try again through the front door....just as our ancestors had to. This country is for US. WE made it, and WE plan to keep it.
Comprende??
They would never admit that.
It’s always the Mexican mau mau tactic: Ju better not try to stop us, or lotsa bad tings weel happen! We are beeg! We are powerful!
Which is all a bunch of crap. If he gets just 4% more of the white vote then Romney did he wins.
They know that and they are scared crapless. The takeover plan is about to go south.
That’s what the illegal-alien invader would like him to believe. Kick the cretins out...seize their assets. If they return, 1,000 years at hard labor...building the wall.
