The immigrant stories featured at the RNC celebrated those who came to the US legally. But most took place under other presidents. Would those stories be the same under Trump?

On Today's Show:
From plans to build a wall, to calling Mexicans rapists, President Trump has done a lot to anger Latino voters, and yet according to the PEW research center a third of Latino voters still support him. Maria Hinojosa, anchor and executive producer of Latino USA, and the author of the forthcoming Once I Was You: A Memoir of Love and Hate in a Torn America (Simon and Schuster, 2020), talks about Trump's popularity among Latino voters, and after "Tio Bernie's" popularity whether Biden can make up lost ground.
