With Donald Trump's appearance as host of Saturday Night Live just days away, Latino and immigration groups, along with their allies, have collected over 460,000 petition signatures telling Lorne Michaels and SNL that Donald Trump's racism isn't funny.


On Monday, the Congressional Hispanic Caucus released a strongly worded statement directed at Lorne Michaels highlighting several recent instances where Trump supporters have beat or harassed Latinos after hearing his anti-immigrant and anti-Latino speeches:
"Therefore be it resolved that the Congressional Hispanic Caucus calls upon NBCUniversal, Broadway Video, and SNL Producer Lorne Michaels to dis-invite Mr. Trump from hosting Saturday Night Live because racism is not funny, and:
Be it further resolved that the Congressional Hispanic Caucus urges NBCUniversal to stand by it's earlier commitment to end it's relationship with Mr.Trump because the values of 'respect and dignity for all people' are more important than ratings and ad revenues."

A new video from "Voto Latino Action Fund" shows the true impact of Donald Trump's words and captures many of the instances mentioned in the CHC's full statement.

1. Too late. He is there now. It takes a week to practice the skits.

There have been way more liberals on Saturday Night Live then conservatives. Not even close.

2. This was a very bad decision by NBC/SNL. Trump stinks and bravo to those who protested.

3. Or people could simply choose not to watch it.

5. I think that NBC should be forced to list this...

as an "in kind" donation to Trump's campaign of xxx millions of dollars. And they should have to run that on the bottom of the screen for the whole show.

But I won't be watching it.
