From what I've read:

Hispanics comprised 8% of Nevada Republican voters. Approx 75,000 voters x .08= 6000 Total Hispanic Republican voters. 44% voted for trump = 2600 Hispanic Trump voters.

19% of all Democrat Nevada voters were Hispanic. Approx 80,000 voters x .19= 15,000 Total Hispanic Dem voters.

Total Hispanics who voted in both caucuses 21,000.

2600/21,000 is 12%.

So, IF my calculations are right (info was gathered from several sources), Trump captured about 12% of the Hispanic vote in the state. I wouldn't be celebrating that number too much.

The latino population is increasing faster than other demographic groups in the USA, while the white population is decreasing. This is based on demographic changes within the US. If you have fewer whites, you have fewer white voters. White vote is projected to decrease at least 2% from 2012 (this is not related to turnout).

This means that the latino voters can make a bigger impact than prior years in choosing a president. This will benefit the D candidate, since most latinos are Democrats. This is why you have seen countless articles and comments from the Republican party that recognizes the need to 'court' latino voters. Trump did the opposite.
Uh; many MORE anglo white voters might just for Trump in 2016 than did for Mitt Romney 4 years ago. That will blow past your Dem liking "Hispanics" right there.

Too; IF the biggest thing for Hispanics is amnesty for ILLEGAL aliens, then it's def time to stop MOST immigration from LatAm AND really come down HARD on the mostly Hispanic illegal aliens here in the US.

Fly away now you've been wrong about everything. You've been weighed and found deficient.

You're also a right-winger. This invalidates all analysis you have to offer.

Romney got 27% of the Latino vote, and he wasn't running around making anchor baby jokes and threatening mass deportations. Trump gets 25% in his fantasies.

That speaks loudly of Hispanic citizens, doesn't it? They think their ethnic group should be above our immigration laws?

Most of that demographic change by Latinos is via illegal immigration and that's a good thing? What should Trump have done? Promised amnesty for their illegal amigos and pander for their votes? What about our immigration laws and the rest of Americans or don't they count?

I assume you mean Mexican-Americans? Aren't they obligated to respect our immigration laws just as everyone else is or are they special? Once again, Trump was not calling them rapists, etc. he was speaking of the illegal kind and he didn't say they were all that way. Why would that affect Americans of Mexican decent? It has nothing to do with them. Why wouldn't they want illegal aliens deported? Don't they care about the rule of law?

Why do you lie to push your agenda? You know damn well this is a fabrication.

Most of the country wants a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants. Does the pro-amnesty crowd have a say, or is this issue strictly for angry nativists to decide?

Your failure is that you don't know how many Hispanics participated in the caucuses.

No they don't.

i.e. It's not "path to citizenship". It's amnesty for illegal aliens. You know a plan is rotten when it has to hide behind weasel worded language.
