"I have a great relationship with the Mexican people. I have many people working for me - look at the job in Washington - I have many legal immigrants working with me. And many of them come from Mexico. They love me, I love them," the 2016 GOP contender said in an interview with NBC News. "And I'll tell you something, if I get the nomination, I'll win the Latino vote."

"Hillary's weak on immigration," he said. "I might be divisive on immigration, but she's weak on immigration, which is far worse."
"If you listen to Hillary, she is so weak on immigration, we will have a crime rate like you've never seen," he added.
Trump also labeled Clinton "the worst secretary of state in the history of our nation."
"The world blew up around us," he said of her tenure at the helm of the State Department.

Trump has vaulted into 2nd place (behind Cruz) in my personal presidential selection poll.
He’s saying what conservatives want to hear without being mealy-mouthed and apologetic.
There is a huge segment of the legal latino/Mexican population that despise the illegals.
It was revealed Jed Bush supported Miami as sanctuary city.
Will Bush even show up for the debates?
Purely anecdotal aside:
My wife is normally completely disengaged from politics, and is usually a nonvoter, but she is very excited about Trump’s candidacy.
LOL! He never mentions Hillary until she opens her mouth about him. I guess she didn’t learn her lesson last time. Smack dat beeyatch down!
Give ‘em HELL, Donald!.............................
So’s mine. Must be the hair...................
Millennials have to be impressed when he talks about job creation: “I would be the best jobs President that God ever created. Let’s get to work!”
Rush Limbaugh is talking about how the Republicans think. “They do not think they need the consevative vote to win. They think they need to pander to the Hispanics even through illegal immigration to win.”
The Republican governors of Texas get 40% of the Latino vote during elections.
That’s plenty of support, in a world where 95% of Blacks and Jews vote Democratic.
“There is a huge segment of the legal latino/Mexican population that despise the illegals.”
Illegals that are now here should want a strong border because only then will legislation to legalize them stand a chance to pass in congress.
Makes sense. Why would people who fled here to get away from violent criminal gangs want them showing up here?
Ya gotta love him. :-)
The Mariel boatlift was a mass emigration of Cubans who departed from Cuba's Mariel Harbor for the United States between April 15 and October 31, 1980.
The event was precipitated by a sharp downturn in the Cuban economy which led to internal tensions on the island and a bid by up to 10,000 Cubans to gain asylum in the Peruvian embassy.
The Cuban government subsequently announced that anyone who wanted to leave could do so, and an exodus by boat started shortly afterward. The exodus was organized by Cuban-Americans with the agreement of Cuban president Fidel Castro. The exodus started to have negative political implications for U.S. president Jimmy Carter when it was discovered that a number of the exiles had been released from Cuban jails and mental health facilities. The Mariel boatlift was ended by mutual agreement between the two governments involved in October 1980. By that point, as many as 125,000 Cubans had made the journey to Florida.
What is there to be impressed with in that? It's an empty boast.
