Related: About this forumTYT: Why Does Trump Prefer Syrian Refugees Over Hispanic?
While Donald Trump is strictly anti-immigrant when it comes to hispanics in the US, his position on Syrian refugees appears to be much less hardline. Ana Kasparian (The Point), and John Iadarola (Think Tank), hosts of the The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

Good question. However, his stance on this is weird. Unless he just dislikes Latinos

He is authoritarian. He doesn't like messy. He likes order. We are in trouble if he becomes president.
