Trump's record with Hispanics: What's love got to do with it?

Ruben Navarrette Jr. on

-- Trump handed control of immigration policy to the villainous Stephen Miller, who seems to have never met a Hispanic he liked.

-- Trump separated thousands of families of Central American refugees and put scores of children in cages, with insufficient supplies of food and water.

-- Trump is building a "big beautiful wall" despite the fact that militarizing the border has previously resulted in many migrant deaths.

-- During a visit to New Mexico, Trump singled out a few Hispanic supporters and crassly bellowed: "We love our Hispanics!"

Sorry, Mr. President. But with polls showing they disapprove of your job performance by a 2-to-1 margin, most Hispanics don't love you back.
