I said that’s **about** all he’s got going for him. There were other candidates who wanted to secure the borders, so that’s not a big plus for Trump.
You're right, you did indeed say **about**, which gives you all the wiggle room in the world.

Like who? Until Trump came along and made illegal immigration an issue, and did so in a *big* way, who was making that a focal point of their campaign? All the others, with the possible exception of Ted Cruz, if they ever talked about illegal immigration, it was merely lip service, not serious. And in the case of ¡Jeb! it was worse -- it was an act of love!
All those other guys up there against Trump, excepting Ben Carson and Fiorina, were at some time GOP officeholders. What the hell did any of them ever do in a practical, significant, concrete way to even attempt to put an end to illegal immigration?
