40. Yes it had. But no one has ever threatened to round then up and deport them.

Even Asians are taking notice and will quietly vote in response to the racism. Can thank Jeb for including Asians to the discrimination festivities. So you can bet your bottom dollar, latinos woke up and are paying attention. Illegal immigrants who have been here for decades are worried about losing their homes and their lives. When you start using words like "rounding up. .." people listen. Those are strong words that hit home. Unlike emails and cartels and coups in Honduras. No one gives a shit about that because it is over there. It is harder to see the personal threat in that. So while DU is in a tizzy over Hillary, a lot of nonwhite people are freaking out over trump. That is why they are showing up enmasse to get their citizenship to vote. That's not just waiting in line at the dmv to get their voter ID card. That is a commitment to DOING something.
