And where in time does he draw the line where everyone after it is an immigrant?

In time? In hue, you mean.

Seems like at some point when the immigrants started getting a bit less pale in appearance. I don't think the US has an immigrant problem really. I think it's just plain old fashioned racism dressed up with a fancier word.

Don't 30-40% of any given population support a strong man/fascist anyway?

The Trump campaign doesn't hammer the immigration issue just because they're xenophobic racists. They also do it because it's one of the few issues that they can run hard on that rallies their base and has the potential to attract some democrats.

People that hate immigrants from either party consider it a central issue, so because it's so charged, there are actually a small subset of democrats that will hold their nose and vote for Trump because of this single issue.

No surprise? People have nuanced views, different opinions, from left to center to right, even hardcore racist ones... and vote Democrats. Just as you could find conservatives who do not agree with the statement.

The statement is so vague and loaded and can be agreed or disagreed with from all kinds of people.

Edit: And yes it's quite ironic(?) that so many people agree with this - in a country where people unironically track that they're 12% German, or 20% Irish, or whatever.
