Trump's record with Hispanics: What's love got to do with it?
-- Trump praised the awful 1953 deportation program Operation Wetback, which removed many U.S.-born Hispanics, and called for a "deportation force" to replicate it.
-- Trump took a jab at Jeb Bush's Mexican-born wife, Columba, by tweeting that "#JebBush has to like the Mexican illegals because of his wife."
-- Trump questioned whether federal judge Gonzalo Curiel -- a native born U.S. citizen -- could be fair in a case against him since "he's a Mexican."
-- After claiming that his immigration crackdown wasn't aimed at any particular country, he promised, during a presidential debate, to deport "bad hombres."
-- Trump has repeatedly called illegal immigration from Mexico an "invasion," the same word used by the shooter in the El Paso massacre where 22 people died.
-- Trump fed the stereotype of Hispanics-as-criminals by making the Salvadoran gang, MS-13, a Willie Horton-type boogeyman.
-- As president, Trump pardoned Joe Arpaio after the former Maricopa County Sheriff was found guilty of racially profiling Hispanics and defying court orders.
-- Trump targeted legal immigration by supporting legislation that would have cut it in half with a skills-based system.
-- Trump ended Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), and thus left more than 600,000 undocumented young people subject to deportation.
-- Trump took aim at "anchor babies" by challenging the 14th Amendment, which makes clear that U.S.-born children of illegal immigrants are U.S. citizens.
