Maybe he says that because you are riding shotgun behind FF's comments? There's fear of immigrants, fear of immigration policies, and fear of the effects of certain immigration policies. These are all different, only the same if all fear is illegitamate.
The apparent 58% Hispanics that voted for Trump cannot be afraid of immigrants, but can be afraid of effects of more, unbridled immigration.
If fear illegitamizes a point of view, then there are plenty of anti-Trump viewpoints that are as illegitamate as any other kind of fear mongering.
Currently, immigration policy is being run by unjust ideologues.
For example, there are many Christians who are legitimately refugees, and need to escape the boot of Islamic purists. But last count, only 59 have been admitted to what many call a "Christian" nation, while hundreds of thousands of veiled and invetted Muslims are allowed in, irregardless of the purists among them whose ideology demands that they undermine and usurp every nation in the world, including any HOST nation. That is an ideological PLAN being executed by the chief executive Barry Soetero.
It is anything but just or fair. It benefits only Islam and anyone who can exploit Islam for personal gain at the unfair expense of others.
Mexicans, on the other hand have a Catholic heritage so in some sense they assimilate, but more importantly, whether they do or dont, nothing in their heritage instructs them to subvert host nations until a threshold of power positions them to take over, and violently bring an end to representative democracy in favor of mullah menaced theocracy.
With Hispanics, it's simply the overwhelming numbers coming in beyond what is allowed. This has EFFECTS that are undeniable, and not good for the wage earners, and businessmen they compete with.
As an Islamic immigrant yourself, where do you stand on policy?
