And, not allowing their illegal parents to become citizens through them. Or, the continued chain migration, ad infinitum, ad nauseum.

I want Trump redundant as much as the next guy, but this kind of categorical hyperbole and scapegoating is simplistic and unhelpful at best.

When writ as a national ethos, it has a historical record of escalating to something very, very bad.

The Charlottesville protest had some white separatists like David Duke and Richard Spencer, not white supremacists, and many of the protesters had a legitimate grievance about Confederate statues being removed.

I doubt that a majority of the country thinks that those statues should be removed.

So the protest had validity in its own right.

And it would have been peaceful if it were not for the actions of the authorities.

The conditions that led to violence were deliberately engineered by the Charlottesville police, city council, and mayor, and by the governor of Virginia.

All of them liberal or left wing.
You know this is untrue (i.e. a lie), so why write it?

Such a statement doesn't apply to all Latinos. Just as there many Latinos that voted for Trump, there are many who voted against him.

Also, Latino can be a both a race (if counting the natives there) and ethnicity. Also, from many census surveys and ethnic classifications, Latinos are occasionally considered White. So, Trump's name being deemed a racist term is dependent on who you ask.

Not our fault that people don't follow the legal path to get here whether they had knowledge of it or not. They need to blame those who brought them here illegally and not expect us to bend our immigration laws for them. I don't how she was able to obtain a valid SS number back in the 60's. There had to be a lie involved back then on someone's part.
Back then they didn’t require birth certificates I guess. And perhaps her adoptive parents did lie, but it wasn’t her fault. She’s been here most of her life, a lot longer than many people on this forum. I consider her an American more than a citizen of Mexico.

Correct. The chanters do not know (or care) who their targets voted for, just like they don't know / care who is legal or illegal. They chant at them because they are latino.

The chant of Trump Trump Trump is not so much racist but it is used as a reminder that if you over stayed your visa or snuck into the country you are in fact breaking the law and you should be worried that you might be arrested and sent back.

It is not racism it is enforcing existing laws that we have in place for a reason.
Okay, well come down here and shout that at our local Hispanic population.

Again, it doesn't matter one iota what you think. Only our citizenship laws do. It doesn't matter if it wasn't her fault that she was brought here illegally. When she reached 18 1/2 she was responsible for her own status in this country. Just because she managed to evade the law for decades doesn't change that and she is just deportable as someone who just crossed the border.
