The Trump Way on Immigration Suits Republicans, Poll Shows

Republicans need to make gains with Hispanic voters in 2016, but that reality is complicated by the fact that more adults support Donald Trump’s hard-line stance on immigration, a new Economist Group/YouGov Poll finds.

A whopping 49 percent of Republicans and independents who lean to the GOP say Trump is the presidential candidate who can best handle the issue — well ahead of Marco Rubio with 10 percent GOP support, Ted Cruz with 7 percent and Jeb Bush at 5 percent.

YouGov-GOPImmigration-1

The divide in the GOP over how to address issues stemming from illegal immigration spilled over in the fourth Republican presidential debate Tuesday. The opt-in, Internet survey was taken Nov. 5-9, before the economy-focused debate in Milwaukee.

“So Trump and Cruz, the only anti-amnesty candidates in the race, combine for 56%. “

Sorry, Cruz is an unknown on this. He has been strangely silent on what he would do with the millions of illegals here. He says he’s not for ‘amnesty’, but so did McCain. Nobody admits to the ‘A’ word. Since he’s not saying, I gather he’d let them stay, which is amnesty (by definition).

“Trump did not back down on deportation last night and he smoked Kasich and Bush out as amnesty panderers. Too bad Rubio was smart enough not to take the bait.”

Not only did he not back off, he doubled down. Then went further today about creating a deportation team.

The left is perplexed because they are so used to Republicans caving. I love watching him, and their reactions.

The question was not some form of “do you agree with Donald trump on immigration”. Yes/no. If that were the question he’d probably get 80-90%

The question was essentially “which candidate do you agree with mow on immigration”? He got nearly 50% of the party. That, as he’d say, is yuge!

This is a bellweather event. Trump knows that if you have to negototiate you start from a position of strength. The hispanic apologists are all in a tizzy because no politican has stood up to them like this since Eisenhower.

I know. By golly, if someone disagrees with me I turn them right off. I only want to hear and watch myself because I agree with myself 100%. If I disagree with anyone about anything, off they go.

Illegal immigration and phony baloney free trade where every new trade “deal” always increases our trade deficits....They are a pair and linked together. The Donald should not mention one without the other.

These toxic twins have ruined our economy to the point where we are like a heroin junkie dependent on injections of fake fiat Federal Reserve bank money to juice the economy. Otherwise it will crash.

We have other negatives that need correction but I put free trade and open borders at the top. We have been flooded with illegal immigrants during three presidencies. Bill Clinton, George W Bush and the worst stinker of them all, Hussein Obama. GW Bush was as bad as any Democrat on illegal immigration. One sign was the stupid, connected hacks and clowns he appointed to run the INS and Border Patrol. Also the infuriating prosecution of Border Patrol Agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Alonso Compean. Back then Glenn Beck was very good on this prosecution and was a talk show leader on it....

.....hispanic apologists are in a tizzy because no pol has stood up to them like this since Eisenhower.

They stupidly believe their own PR. The Latino Bund has put out a continuous stream of BS agit-prop....touting its "ability" to swing elections.

I almost vomited when Geraldo smirked about "Hispanic America."

The Bund plans to overthrow the US govt and install a Central American Third World on US soil.

That aint never gonna happen.

It is the frigging law and a country with no borders is not a country or a country of laws.

Have not watched FOX for some time, but thought I would click over to it.
Fox again this morning was putting Trumps plan down and saying it’s not practical.

That’s an unnecessary sideshow of an argument. Start cutting off EVERYTHING to people if they cannot produce a valid form of identification to show that they are a citizen. No more food stamps, no driver’s licenses, no rental agreements, no mortgages.

Un-sanctuary the sanctuary cities. They will self-deport.

Here is the humane, logical, practical solution on solving Immigration Problem and Voter Fraud as proposed by engineer and businessman. Can politicians get it and implement it?

I read it.

It is amnesty.

Trump’s plan is the best - it will virtually eliminate more illegal immigration and encourage self deportation.

Trump/Cruz 2016!

How in the world is Barack O’Rubio at 10%? He’s the biggest open borders advocate in the GOP.

Here’s a novel thought. Do NOT give these illegals benefits and $$$$....maybe they will go back on their own when they see we don’t give handouts to every Jose, Juanita and Jorge who come here illegally.
