maybe their "papers" aren't in order.
Several of Donald Trump’s most prominent Hispanic supporters are reconsidering their support following his major speech on immigration Wednesday.
Jacob Monty, an attorney based in Houston, resigned from the Republican candidate’s National Hispanic Advisory Council after hearing the speech in Phoenix, Politico reported early Thursday morning.
“I was a strong supporter of Donald Trump when I believed he was going to address the immigration problem realistically and compassionately,” Monty told the news site. “What I heard today was not realistic and not compassionate.”
After weeks of toying with “softening” his deportation-based approach to illegal immigration, the GOP nominee on Wednesday gave a speech in which he embraced the hard-line policies and incendiary rhetoric that defined his primary campaign. He said that anyone in the United States illegally would be subject to deportation and vowed to bolster security at the U.S.-Mexico border.
For many Hispanic conservatives like Monty, who had advocated passionately for Trump, the speech was not merely a disappointment, but a betrayal. They hoped the candidate would lay out a plan for dealing humanely with the estimated 11 million undo ented immigrants already in the country, especially those with no involvement in violent crime.
Trump’s support among Latino voters is far beneath that of past Republican candidates, according to public polls, which presents a unique challenge for the mogul as he seeks to win key states — like Florida, Nevada and Colorado — with large Hispanic cons uencies. On Thursday, Democrat Hillary Clinton’s campaign began to run ads in Arizona, a historically Republican state but with a large number of Latino voters.

Nice clickbait le
Actual article le: Some of Trump’s Hispanic fans are abandoning ship after his immigration speech
Good lord, this guy. What a sad state of affairs that this clown is still more electable than Hillary. He could have gained a load of ground with this speech had he just stolen some plays from The Liberal Playbook of Pandering...
Not hard to reword amnesty to sound appealing to his racist cons uents and to the Latinos on the fringe. Idiot.
Just when the flies swarming around the Turd Sandwich were making people divert their eyes to the Giant , he reminded people he is indeed a Giant .
Go to yahoo news' front page. That was the le in the main front page.

Not really material to the article either way, but members of his advisory council walking out seems to indicate "ally" more than "fan".
The best part of the quotes from Trump's erstwhile Hispanic advisor is this:
http://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/g...speech-n641131"I am convinced that Donald Trump listens to whomever speaks to him last," Monty said. He said groups who advocate for harsh immigration enforcement such as FAIR and Numbers USA "must have spent time with him after he returned from Mexico and he listened to them.
He said GOP Latinos who met with Trump almost two weeks ago gave him a plan that was "strong on security, that was very compassionate." The plan called for a reprieve from deportation from those already in the country. "He didn't even listen," Monty said. The speech Trump gave, he said, left him wondering whether meeting with the Hispanic Republicans "was a cynical scheme to use us as props like he used the Mexican president as a prop," said Monty.
"The problem with Donald Trump and the reason I wanted to act swiftly (after the speech) is you don't want this guy as president. He listens to whomever speaks to him last and that's dangerous," he said.
Fans?
at least 3 of his Hispanic adviser group resigned. That's not nothing. Trump has lost the Hispanics. He had around 20% of them.
Wanna bet they'll be in the single digits by the next batches of polls?
