Summary/Abstract: Donald J. Trump's upset victory in the 2016 U.S. Presidential Elections has proved too divisive for the country. One of the hot-button issues as immigration, legal and illegal. This study will show Trump's tendency to target immigrants via his Presidential Twitter account. There seems to be a lack of available studies that delve into this topic in-depth. By using a statistical analysis of a variety of Trump's tweets and speeches, this can provide a glimpse into his unique political viewpoints and his communication style. The findings show that Trump's tweeting penchant on immigration consists primarily of right-wing conservative values than its left-wing liberal counterparts.
