Donald Trump reportedly asked Latino leaders to help him make 'humane and efficient' immigration policy


Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump continued over the weekend the attempt to woo minority voters he began on Friday, when he asked black Americans to vote for him because they have nothing to lose. His son Eric promised in a radio interview Sunday a President Trump will "fix" inner cities.
Previously, speaking in Virginia on Saturday, Trump said the GOP "must do better" in appealing to African-Americans, but he labeled as "crooked politics" a Virginia campaign to restore voting rights to felons — a policy that would disproportionately re-enfranchise black voters. "Hillary Clinton is banking on ... getting thousands of violent felons to the voting booths in effort to cancel out the votes of both law enforcement and crime victims," he alleged.
Trump also joined a roundtable discussion with Latino leaders at Trump Tower in New York on Saturday, reportedly telling participants he wants to find a "humane and efficient" immigration policy. Trump's campaign denied that his solicitation of "ideas of how we deal with 11 million people that are here with no documents" indicated any shift in his views on immigration.
