More Latinos Seeking Citizenship to Vote Against Trump

[lucas80]

Does anyone think that the Hispanics that are already citizens actually look for a candidate that enables further illegal immigration and competition for their jobs? Would any Democrat support a policy that said amnesty for those already here provided that they can never vote? I would go even further. Amnesty but you can never vote, your children can never vote but your grandchildren can. By then you will have paid the price for your unlawful entry into our country. Your grand kids should have assimilated by now and will be given the right to vote.

I don't think Latinos who are here legally as residents, or have gone on to obtain citizenship are pro illegal immigration. However, I think they are very aware of a candidate that demonizes whole classes of people as rapists. They look at that person being demonized and see someone with common heritage and are offended. They might even know a relative or friend who is here illegally and have some level of sympathy when broad charges are leveled. Trump in this instance appears to be energizing two groups.

when this candidate emerges please let us know. Obama has said racist things a lot but i think he's not running again but maybe

And I have been told over and over that no illegal will ever get the right to vote. Hmm, looks like I was correct about that as well. Paging Natural for some crow?

Are you eating it? Because this story looks to be about legal immigrants going through the legal steps to gain the right to vote. It does feed into the stereotype that you lump them all together.
