President Donald Trump is claiming that his policies to stop illegal immigration are helping his standing with Latino voters, and he is taking undue credit for uniting families who were separated at the border. "They don't want people coming and taking their jobs," Trump said. The most recent AP-NORC poll conducted in mid-June showed Trump with 26 percent support among Hispanics. Obama separated families under limited circumstances, but Trump took it to an entirely new level by making it standard practice, sparking a massive international backlash. Hourly pay for retail workers has risen 4.1% in the past year and 3.8% for hotel and restaurant employees.
