I haven't seen the stats for legal immigrants as a group but I would be pretty shocked if he did worse than Romney with that group. Anecdotally legal immigrants have a higher rate of Trump support than people whose families have been American for generations. The NYT thesis is that people's votes are determined by their race and immigration status, and this is the thesis that was bought by the Republican Party in their 2012 postmortem. But this is the same thesis that was decisively rejected by Trump, who instead said that anyone could vote for him, regardless of race or immigration status (provided they can legally vote), and he actually campaigned for their votes. And he got way more votes from people of color and immigrants than Romney, and he won. It's not minorities and immigrants who are turned off by Trump's rhetoric - it's white, educated, liberals (in the classic sense of liberal, not leftist). --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! ...
