After over a year of falling foot traffic and tumbling stock prices, retail giant Target is now obliquely attacking President Donald Trump over the claim that his policies have driven Hispanics to avoid shopping in public.
At last week’s Fortune Brainstorm Tech event in Aspen, Colorado, Target Corp. Chief Executive Officer Brian Cornell claimed that Hispanic shoppers, a sought-after demographic for retailers across the country, have stopped leaving their homes to shop, presumably for fear of being deported.

“The Hispanic consumer in the U.S. is shopping much less,” Cornell claimed according to MSN Money. “They are staying home. They are going out less often.”

Cornell didn’t mention President Trump by name, but he did mention the lack of Hispanic shoppers in “border towns” where retailers often see traffic over the U.S.-Mexico border.

The Target chief was likely influenced by recent surveys following the habits of Hispanic shoppers at the nation’s largest retail outlets. Retail researcher NPD Group claims its survey shows that Hispanic traffic at retailers fell eight percent over last year.

Marshal Cohen, an analyst at NPD, said that there has “clearly been a pullback” among Hispanic shoppers. “There’s concern about going out in an environment where you could be deported,” Cohen claimed.

“I’ve never seen anything like it,” Cohen claimed. “It’s really there and material.”

Target admits it has been collecting profits off illegals who have broken the law.  When will the company return those ill-gotten gains?

Maybe hispanics don't like sharing bathrooms with freaks and pedophiles?

I wait for the day that all these retailers are crying the blues because they lost all the SNAP card revenue.

Well that and Targets prices kind of suck, Hispanics are no different than anyone else who can figure out that Walmart has the same products at lower prices.

Neither do Target employees.

The last time my daughter in law was at Target, she was going to take her daughters to the family-room Target has to remove the threat of sharing the toilet with others.  It was locked, and when she asked an employee, she was told "It was reserved for Target employees."

So much for this attempt by Target to appease customers.
