I understand that.And if Trump says the right things his visit will strengthen the resolve of those already on his side.But I stand by my basic position...he should stick to his position regarding the wall,deportations,etc but sticking his hand into the hornets' nest by visiting there will gain him no *additional* votes and could very well strengthen the resolve of those currently committed to...or,worse still,those *leaning* toward...Hillary.
I hope to God I'm wrong...and time *will* tell.Immigration is Trump's signature issue and,apart from clearly stating his position (which I suspect he already has) it must be handled delicately because our population is becoming less and less a "melting pot" and more and more "I'm entitled to a government check"...and government checks are what immigration is *really* about.
He has talked about deporting criminals at once.
One comment I heard him make was this. “The police know who they are and where they are. We will begin to deport the criminals at once.”
His comments on stopping the freebies is another clue.
This guy has been talked to by Sessions and or others.
He isn’t telegraphing it, because he wants it to happen naturally, the self-repatriation.

While I am definitely anti-illegal immigration, from what I have seen here in CA, the preponderance of Mexicans here are hard-working people. Maybe we should swap our Blacks for Mexicans. At least we’d get some honest work in the bargain. A couple of weeks ago, I had occasion to drive through Salinas, CA on my way to Laguna Seca Raceway at about 6 a.m. on a Saturday morning. I was caught in a “traffic jamb” with all the farmworkers heading out to the fields to pick crops. Didn’t see ANY BLACKs in the lot of them! And yet, back in the 1950’s we cancelled the Bracero Program which allowed Mexican farmworkers to legally come here on a temporary basis to pick our crops, because Blacks claimed that the Mexicans were taking “their jobs.”
