Trump: a mere pawn in a more intricate chess match?

At the insightful site www.anolen.com, an intriguing explanation is given for the success of the "Donald Trump for president" phenomenon thus far, with regard to the mogul-turned-politician's tough talk on illegal immigration, and the subsequent runaway popularity he has been able to obtain.

What's exceptional about Trump's platform is that the illegal immigration grievance is allowed to be aired. Discontent over how the federal government in particular encourages illegal immigration is a politically powerful issue and has been for decades. Despite the issue's obvious political capital, nobody in the US political machine tackles it because American elites need vast quantities of cheap labor to undermine US citizens' economic and political clout.
