Mr. Ramos did Donald Trump a very big favor.

Mr. Ramos forced a point of view no other journalists to date was addressing. In that is the ideal moment for Donald Trump to solidify his position with the Republican base. Donald Trump is not a legislator, he is running for the office of President of the United States of America. As a president he won't have legislative power. He can only veto legislation. The task all those that want immigration reform have to achieve, is to get a majority of Pro-Immigration reform to the federal and/or state legislature.

The Latin pop star criticized Trump in an op-ed for Univision News, saying the fact that Trump “has the guts to continue to gratuitously harass the Latino community makes my blood boil.”
In the editorial published Wednesday, Martin also blasted Trump for making “racist, absurd, incoherent, and ignorant” comments about Latinos.
“From the outset his intention was clear: Say barbarous things and tell lies in order to stay relevant in the public eye and either gain votes or stay in the media,” Martin said.
The op-ed came a day after Trump kicked Mexican-American journalist Jorge Ramos out of a press conference for asking a question out of turn. Trump told Ramos to “go back to Univision” as he was being escorted out of the presser.
Martin defended Ramos, saying he was just trying to do his job....

I realize a presidential candidate articulates the party's platform and personal beliefs, but, the fact of the matter is the majority of the US Senate and House needs to be achieved to pass effective legislation. There is every indication Donald Trump is punching some real holes in the case for immigration reform. Those issues have to be addressed.

What does the Latina and Latino members of the community say about illegal aliens that kill Americans? There needs to be a strong position to that issue.

What does the Hispanic community think about a wall along the entire southern border of the USA? 

Is it right to have people come across the border for sanctuary? Would it not be better for the USA to focus on change within countries south of our border to ensure a better quality of life to end the dangerous path to the USA and it's border fence?

Are there convicted felons crossing the USA southern border and what needs to be done about that? Are these USA felons also criminals in their country of origin? Why aren't these people jailed in their country of origin?  

What Donald Trump is saying is the USA must secure it's southern border and prevent people who would kill Americans from coming to this country. That is not a statement of the Undocumented already living in the USA.  

The Republican Party has placed a real wedge issue that has tainted the US Congress from passing immigration reform in that the USA has to stop the flow of illegal immigrants into the country BEFORE any other immigration reform can go forward. 

The Undocumented in the USA have a great deal on the line for the 2016 election. It has to stop the deadlock in Congress. The standards for the USA southern border has to be upheld by the Undocumented as well as the USA electorate. If the Undocumented believe they have a right to be in the USA they have to state why. 

Donald Trump is stating the USA at the cost of billions of dollars have to return all the Undocumented to their countries of origin in order to uphold the sovereignty of the USA. Is that a tenable value as well as a practical one. Is returning the Undocumented to their country of origin bad for the USA?

Donald Trump will carry out his policies when in office. He has changed the dialogue regarding the Undocumented and immigration reform. The community in the USA has to be the citizens they are expected to be and carry a strong message that will receive the support of the American electorate. When the electorate reflects the views and values of the Undocumented there will be a shift of support for candidates at the ballot box.

The idea of sanctuary cities the Republicans are reflecting is that those cities oppose the federal government's laws. Really? This is a political party that wants secession. Who is really opposing the federal government? Why doesn't immigration reform address sanctuary cities through legislation? Are sanctuary cities valuable to the Undocumented? Or. Are they causing political backlash that is hurting the people those cities want to protect from human rights violations?

AND.

How much of the electorate believe the Republican position is laced with human rights violations separate from the right of sovereignty in building a wall at the southern border? What are those human rights violations? 

Basically, the Latina and Latino community has to run a presidential election campaign to answer the ever changing waffling position of the Republican party. The position has to ACTIVELY answer the positions of candidates and end this chronic problem for the USA. 

I do not think the southern border and immigration reform have the same legislation. Doesn't the border issue belong in separate legislation to become effective to facilitate the Immigration Reform Bill? The immigration reform bill has to address immigration and the grossly dysfunctional process, including the huge back logs in the courts. But, if the border is to be secure before effective immigration reform is passed, then why isn't that already passed into law?

The issue of the southern border is an international venue and the Undocumented are a domestic issue.

Even when Republicans fight immigration reform, the Undocumented have a very strong case for promoting their lawful status in the USA.

Is legal status the same as citizenship with all the rights of citizenship? 

Is a legal status separate from citizenship constitutional? I do not believe it is. The 'idea' human beings can be separated into 'classes' by law was answered with the Civil War.
