I know some people very well who regularly speak Spanish (and whose English is less than fluent) and who voted for Trump. The biggest reason is anger at paying taxes to support illegal immigrants getting benefits that they don’t get because they earn too much money to qualify.

Telemundo could be a thing of the past very soon. UNIVISION---the parent company----is about 9 billion dollars in debt. They had hoped to be bailed out via an IPO...but that's not happening.

The ties between the Clintons, Haim Saban, creator of the Spanish TV television network---UNIVISION (Telemundo's parent company)---run deep. Univision's newscasts on Telemundo gleefully bash Republicans and praise Hillary’s newly-minted position on immigration.

Network Owner Haim Saban’s unabashed support for Hillarys election effort segued into (surprise) a partnership between Univision and the Clinton Family Foundation.

====================================================

NY POST EXCERPT---Saban's Univision recently trotted out Bill Clinton to talk to advertisers----as private equity owners of the debt-laden company sweat it out. Univision’s owners are hoping to launch the IPO in just weeks.

Getting early commitments on ad spending from Madison Avenue would certainly make an IPO road show before potential investors that much easier....they hope to raise around $1 billion at a valuation of $20 billion, according to Reuters. (Univision has $9 billion in long-term debt.)

Mexican program provider Televisa also has an 8 percent stake.Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and Deutsche Bank — the lead underwriters — are getting ready to gin up some sizzle for a not very sexy Univision business: called free-to-air.

THE BIG BURRITO---HILLARY/BILL CLINTON MEDIA CONNECTION---Latino-TV Univision owner, Haim Saban described his formula to influence American politics: (a) make donations to political parties, (b) establish think tanks, and, (c) control media outlets. (source: WIKI)

=========================================

Mother Jones, in an analysis of the major donors to the campaigns of 1998 election cycle, ranked Saban 155th among individual donors. Amy Paris noted that Saban's Clinton-era "generosity did not go unrewarded. During the Clinton administration, Saban served on the President's Export Council, advising the White House on trade issues."

The New York Times reported that Haim and his wife "slept in the White House several times during President Clinton's two terms." Saban remains close friends with the former President. Clinton described Saban as a "very good friend and supporter."

Saban contributed between $5-10 million to the William J. Clinton Foundation.

During the 2000 presidential election, Saban increased his rank to 5th among individual donors with a combined contribution of $1,250,500. Saban was the largest overall contributor to the Democratic National Committee during the 2001–2002 cycle." Saban's donations during that 2001–2002 period exceeded $10 million, the largest donation the DNC has received from a single source up to that time.

In September 2004, Hillary Clinton described Saban as a very good friend, supporter and adviser: "I am grateful for his commitment to Israel, to a just and lasting peace in the Middle East and to my foundation's work, particularly on reconciliation issues." In May 2007, Haim publicly declared his support for Clinton in 2008 presidential election.

In June 2007, Saban and Steven Spielberg co-hosted a Hillary Clinton fundraiser at the house of Peter Chernin, the President of News Corporation. According to the Los Angeles Times,the fundraiser brought in over $850,000.
