wtf did they expect?

I mean, he told you what he was tryinna do
I remember a video about an immigration lawyer, who also immigrated from Mexico, who said Trump was only going to go after the criminals. Therefore business would be great for her. I really want to see a follow-up.
strange, they can't seem to find that person anymore to conduct a follow-up with.
I think they missed the part where Trump isn’t about stopping illegal immigration, just immigration. Past and present. For brown people.
“It just seems now more than ever, if you’re brown, they’re gonna stop you,” said Mario Guerrero, a three-time Trump voter who leads the South Texas Builders Association. “And I know that sounds really racist, but it’s what we’re facing, man.”
The Supreme Court essentially signed off on a Trump immigration enforcement policy to assume speaking Spanish and looking brown is sufficient evidence to suspect someone is an illegal immigrant. It is about as openly racist as you can get.
I guess Mr. Guerrero doesn't like the bigotry now that he's on the receiving end of it?
They are idiots. My family is full of Latinos who pull the ladder from behind. They also think they could be on the same level as white people. Nope.
History is filled with people who were promised that we would pretend they were white if they just sold out everyone they cared about. Hasn't actually paid off yet.
So they're fucking stupid then? He's been anti-immigrant since long before he was elected. What did they think was going to happen?
WHOMP
fucking
WHOMP
you were all warned and didn't listen. You thought it was okay for him to subjugate "those illegals" because you thought you were the "good ones" so therefore it was okay to harm those groups.
Fuck you and enjoy not having a face
If it's a poll showing it and not a news story on a massive protest, they're not really furious.
Climbed the stairs.
Voted to have the stairs pulled up behind them.
Turned out they also voted to get kicked down from the platform themselves.
Frankly, such immigrant rightwingers are the only bunch that actually deserve the tender mercies of the likes of ICE.
(And for any knee-jerking "identity warriors" out there, never forget that immigrants are like everybody else and thus amongst them, plenty of people when they think they themselves are safe from it ("I'm alright Jack") are just as nasty hearthless and selfish "conservative" and even fascist as the Republicans)
...in my experience, first-generation-citizen demographics tend to skew hardest against undocumented immigrants; not sure whether that's because they put in the time, effort, + cost to secure their own citizenship and thus resent those who haven't done so in kind, or because they emmigrated to expressly to get away from their native demographic who comprise undocumented immigrants...
There's a big "why did you vote for Trump in the first place?" shaped hole in the middle of this story. Did the reporter not ask? Did they not think it was important?
Legally documented immigrants are often considerably more strict and harsh in their views on undocumented immigrants. A very "I did it right and so should you have too" mentality. This is particularly strong among refugee immigrants (Cuban and Venezuela, for example). The problem here is the perception that undocumented immigrants are all members of roving street gangs selling drugs and murdering an raping. Farm hands and construction workers can get documentation that passes the checks required of employers. So they weren't expecting their own employees to be swept up in it.
They're not stupid, just heavily propagandized to where they need to experience personal consequence to reconsider. It a perfect chance to have the conversation with them to win them over.
Just a reminder. Male Latinos are literally the reason Trump is in office right now. Kamala had the black and white support to win, but make Latinos swung like 40 pts hard right.
Indeed and racism played a heavy role while voting.
to be fair how would they know? he only insulted Latinos every time he talked about them, called them rapists and murderers, and promised he would deport all of them... like are they supposed to be mind readers???
I am baffled someone actually didn't understand when a far-right white male politician says "illegals" they've always meant "people of color"
It's Christianity. A ton of immigrant Hispanics are extremely Christian and Republicans are historically the Christian party
Catholisism is the dominant cult among them. Them falling for obvious lies is kind of par for the course
My Catholic in-laws voted for Trump in 2016 because Biden was going to outlaw Catholicism, of all things.
Biggest problem is thinking of Hispanics as a monolith
All the people that can be convinced they are temporary embarrassed millionaires have been suckered by Republicans, Trump most of all. Unfortunately that includes people from all identity groups, although he really convinced poor and middle class whites the most.
