I think you make a good point.

What folks don’t always realize, is that even immigrants are down on the illegal portion of immigration.

It depends on the people, but I can tell you first hand that I know a lot of people of Mexican heredity, that are on board with Trump’s plans.

Some of them take it a lot farther than I or Trump do. It’s amazing how negative they are on it.

This is true, but it gets a bit more complicated. Many of the legal Mexicans and other Latinos (outside of Puerto Ricans) have close friends and family members who are illegal aliens. So, even if they themselves are inclined in principle to be hardliners in the abstract, it can quickly become more ambivalent. And once you see words like "homophobic" thrown into the spiel, we are getting outside of the realm of regular immigrant folks who are picking a candidate and into the realm of leftist apparatchiks.

It sort of reminds me of when Bill Richardson forgot his party orthodoxy during a debate and answered that be a homosexual was a choice, but corrected himself when it was suggested to him that he might want to reconsider his response.
