DonaldTrump courts the Hispanic vote: 'I love immigrants'
US President Donald Trump, who officially launched his campaign for re-election this week, pitched himself to Hispanic voters on Thursday during an interview with the US Spanish-language network Telemundo.
During the interview - his first with a Spanish-language TV network - Trump boasted of his popularity among Hispanics, claiming a 17-percent polling improvement among the group, and said his presidency has seen the lowest-ever rate of unemployment among Hispanics. "Because Hispanics want toughness at the border," he said. "They don't want people coming and taking their jobs. They don't want criminals to come, because they understand the border better than anybody.
"Many of them are from China," Trump said. "Many of them are from other parts of the world that you wouldn't even believe."
