Donald Trump continues to defy expectations. First, he had no chance, then a contested convention was all but guaranteed. Now that his path to 1,237 delegates has been cleared, hisboponnents are throwing it all against the wall in the hopes that something will stick.
As Trump inches closer and closer to the GOP nomination, activist groups have ramped up their efforts to turn out immigrant voters, many of whom hold green cards but have not taken steps to become citizens.
The groups oppose Trump’s restrictive stance on immigration and worry about his proposal to complete a wall on the southern border.
“His hate cannot trump our vote,” Rusty Hicks, an organizer with the AFL-CIO, said at Sunday’s event.
“So while he wants to round up people for mass deportation we’re going to round up votes and send him back to the Trump Towers and not to the White House, right?” he asked the crowd, which was filled with “Dump Trump” signs.
“We’re ready to march? We’re ready to vote? We’re ready to organize?”
The main organizer of Sunday’s event is the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles (CHIRLA), a group that in 2014 received $250,000 from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to help immigrants from Mexico and El Salvador complete the citizenship registration process.
CHIRLA, which is still listed on USCIS’ website as a citizenship services provider, was heavily involved in Sunday’s protests.
This is just as likely to fail as the dozens of other failed attempts at putting a stop to Trump. Fortunately, very soon the math may finally signify Trump’s inevitability, and these organizations can stop wasting their breath and their money. Until then, they can waste whatever they want.
