Change would mean that in hopes of appealing to more Latino and other voters of colors, he would lose the element of the Republican Party that has grabbed onto his candidacy out of love to hate those groups that are not white.
Salvia noted that after his talks with Pena-Nieto, Trump raised the possibility of using resources seized from drug cartel chiefs who were wanted criminals in Mexico as well as the United States to finance the construction of his proposed land border barrier.

While illegal immigration from Mexico has been slowing and the US crime rate has been declining, he paints a picture of undocumented immigrants streaming across the border and overwhelming countless neighborhoods with violent crimes.
