Surprising number of Latinos voted for Trump
Latino groups had hoped to flex their political muscle in the presidential election by hitting billionaire businessman Donald Trump and his politically charged anti-immigrant rhetoric with a one-two punch. That not only didn’t happen, but a significantly higher number of Latinos than expected ended up voting for Trump, leaving many activists and community leaders in disbelief on Wednesday morning.
Latino Early Vote Surges From Florida to Nevada
Latino voters are already showing up to vote this election and could cast ballots in larger numbers than Democrats saw in recent elections. On a call with reporters Friday, Latino Decisions– a polling group focused on Hispanic voting patters– said that Latino turnout is on track to make history next week. On the call, Gabriel Sanchez, a principal at Latino Decisions, pointed to early voting trends that show Latino early voting is up 100 percent in Florida, 60 percent in North Carolina and up 25 percent in Colorado and Nevada. Sanchez said at this point, Latino Decisions is projecting that between 13.1 million and 14.7 million Latinos will vote on or before Tuesday– a major increase from 2012 numbers when the group estimated 11.2 million voted. The numbers are a good sign for Hillary Clinton who has seen the race tighten in recent days. Latino Decisions is estimating– using their own turnout predictor– that Clinton is on track to capture 79 percent of the Latino vote. Trump, on the other hand, is expected to garner only 18 percent (almost 10 points down from Romney's 27 percent performance.)

Donald Trump warns that 650 million immigrants could come to the U.S. in a week. Let’s do the math!
Twice on Sunday, Donald Trump told audiences at rallies that electing Hillary Clinton risked a truly spectacular shift in the composition of the United States."When you're working for Hillary, she wants to let people just pour in.

Thanks, Donald, for finally waking up the Latino vote!

This Is How Many Undocumented Immigrants Donald Trump Wants Out Of The Country
11.1 million, according to the most recent estimate. Trump has indicated that even undocumented immigrants with longstanding ties to the U.S. would be forced out if he becomes president ― if not by mass deportation, then by policies that would make it more difficult for them to stay. But Trump’s unlikely to believe estimates on the undocumented immigrant population anyway. He has repeatedly claimed that the size of the undocumented population is unknown, even though multiple sources have estimated it’s around 11 million people.

NYT Scrambles To Rewrite Botched Story On Trump Immigration Speech
In Donald Trump’s much-hyped speech on immigration Wednesday night in Phoenix, which came the same day he met with the president of Mexico, the GOP nominee showed no signs of “softening” the hard-line immigration policies that have won him legions of supporters. But that message didn’t come across in the New York Times’ initial coverage of the speech, which hailed Trump’s address as “an audacious attempt” to transform his image and reported that he shelved his proposal for a massive effort to deport immigrants who are in the country illegally. The story went through extensive edits when readers pointed out the story inaccurately characterized Trump's speech.
