Its mainly because of his background as a Washington outsider and a businessman. I mean you can hate him as much as you want but the Trump Org/Companies haven't just been built by him being a chump. At this moment, what we should be really worried about is the DEMOCRATS willing to compromise. I'm afraid they are the ones who will not compromise in order to prevent immigration reform happening under Trump. And remember he had said he would "cancel Obama's amnesties" on day 1. We all know how that turned out.
