Trump Shuns 'SUICIDE MISSION,' Wins Over HISPANICS Despite Strict Immigration Stance


 Stephen Dinan

He was told being strict on illegal immigration would doom him among Hispanic voters.
Yet President Trump has defied their predictions, from the moment he delivered his iconic address to the Conservative Political Action Conference in 2013 — warning the Republican Party that legalizing 11 million illegal immigrants was political suicide — through the 2016 presidential election and into the White House.

Now nine months out from his second Election Day, and despite a tenure in the White House that has involved building a border wall, stepping up deportations and insulting some Latin American nations as “s—hole” countries, Mr. Trump is as strong as ever among Hispanic voters, according to the polls.

One poll puts his approval rating as high as 44% and shows him winning 41% of the Hispanic vote in a head-to-head match-up with Sen. Bernard Sanders of Vermont. That would best his 2016 showing of 28% support and put him in the running with President George W. Bush for the highest share of Hispanic votes for a GOP candidate.

Why would anyone believe a majority of Americans of hispanic descent would be supportive of illegal immigration? They suffer the same consequences from it the rest of us do.

MS-13 and other sundry gangster thugs aren't terrorizing and victimizing Liberal urban Pols at their Chardonnay and Brie parties celebrating local theater, hip restaurant and museum exhibit openings.   They're making immigration communities a living Hell.

They suffer even more. People stereotypically assume that someone of hispanic ancestry only speaks broken english, is not highly educated and is here illegally.
