Los Angeles (AFP) - Republican frontrunner Donald Trump has pledged to deport and keep out illegal immigrants, but the brash billionaire's rhetoric is inspiring some Hispanics to become citizens so they can vote against him.

"I feel threatened by the political situation," said Maria Orozco, a 36-year-old screenwriter in Los Angeles.

She is a legal permanent resident, a status that provides "some security, but the immigration laws are changing constantly and I don't know what might happen if Trump wins," she told AFP, speaking in Spanish.

"In 15 years here, I've never felt such a hostile political climate," Orozco said, concluding: "I want to vote against Trump."


2.7 million Mexicans are eligible for citizenship.
