This is what his website says about immigration:

https://www.donaldjtrump.com/positions/immigration-reform

Far and away the biggest red flag I see is ending birthright citizenship. It is a bit silly that simply being born here is enough even if both of your parents aren't citizens (if that is indeed the case) but the way to fix that is not redefining the word citizen.

http://www.politico.com/story/2016/02/hispanic-media-republican-debates-219756 Anybody else looking forward to Trump getting mauled on immigration in tonights debate? :)

But...but...he won 62% of the Latino vote in Nevada. He's YUGE with them.

So maybe its 62% of 100 Republican Latinos?

Marc Randazza wrote an entertaining, humorous account of his attendance at the Nevada caucuses. Three parts total, Democrats are second and Republicans are third.

Why? It serves a couple of purposes. The obvious one is to make it simple for people who've lived here their whole lives to be citizens, even if their parents immigrated but never became naturalized for whatever reason. Also, since international law basically deals with stateless folks by sticking its fingers in its ears and shouting "I can't hear you!", it helps reduce the number of people who wind up in that situation. There's probably some more that somebody who cares more can list, but those are the big ones to me.

Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.

I'm just wondering how obnoxious, misogynous, and racist Trump will go in responding to the Telemundo reporter.

No Latino who is registered as a Democrat voted for Trup in the caucus, as Nevada's caucuses are open only to registered members of the party. On a national level, only 36% claim Republican affiliation, while 62% claim Democrat. Further, in the entrance polls that support Trump's "Overwhelming Latino Support", 0f the 1,573 voters polled, just 8%, or 125, were Hispanic. Of these, 45% (not the 46% Trump claimed in a speech (although this was within acceptable error) or the 67% you are claiming) said they were voting for Trump. This means that the claim is based entirely on 56 people.

Of the Latinos who voted for him, demographically speaking, I wonder their socio-economic bracket is and how many generations removed they are. I'd be willing to guess that the Latinos that voted for him are from the upper socio-economic strata and are at least 3rd generation and up Latinos. I find hard to believe that a 1st or 2nd generation middle class Latino would have voted for Trump.

Hey, if there are self-hating Jews, maybe there are self-hating Latinos. Now the GOP just wants them to be self-deporting as well.

I didn't claim shit m9 read the quotes' authors
Only reason why Latinos wouldn't support Trump because wall is if they have more loyalty to illegal immigrants from Mexico than the USA, which as we've just seen turns out Latinos want to make Murrica gr8 again, aint no denying how freedom they are. Tbh I'd be pissed if I legally immigrated to the USA to build a life for myself and some dickheads felt entitled to the same nation with no sense of the obligation of citizenry that entails and with it enriching crime I'd be pissed too. Oh wait, that is why I'm piff lol
A well joyous day, in the UK we had the same thing when our progressives took it for granted that they'd get Black, Asian and Minority support, turns out assuming mastery over minorities is pretty racist so they got btfo

Hey, if there are self-hating Jews, maybe there are self-hating Latinos. Now the GOP just wants them to be self-deporting as well.
Sure is a lot of Uncle Tom here, Latinos and Jews need to support everything the democrats say is good for Latinos and Jews otherwise they're self-hating

It's almost like you want your country to be full of people with more loyalty to foreign nations than America, what could go wrong with that? Whose wages and jobs are first hit by illegal immigration? Ya, the first immigrants who actually bothered to abide by US law
chiki briki a lot of self-hating whites want to play identity politics, only Hillary got the skills for such gameplaying

On a somewhat unrelated note, former Democratic State Senator Leland Yee has just been sentenced to five years in federal prison for attempting to smuggle firearms, rocket launchers, etc. to a known terrorist group. He was always totally against American citizens being allowed to own semi-automatic rifles, but apparently sees no problem with terrorist cells having access to machine guns and rocket-propelled grenade launchers.
