Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Don't forget that the Latino vote for Trump went from 25% to 45%.
The dumb bastards voted themselves into being deported and don't think Stephen Miller is going to have a soft spot for people here legally.
Hes gonna come for them all.
There's a lot of christian fundamentalists among them too, and I think the "sitting out of it" could have affected that demographic too.
It blows my mind. But it's the reality. In an ideal world every minority should be against Trump. But this isn't the world we live in. There is a huge amount of immigrants who are coming from ultra conservative society.
Some latino who are well established will happily kick the ladder so that other can't come in.
So it's not super surprising. Homophobia and racism isn't only a white people's thing.
This is sort of beside the point you're making, but a lot of 1st/2nd generation Latinos still look down on immigrants. "We did it the hard way, so they should have to as well" similar to bootstrap mentality.
It's some real mental gymnastics, but I've had several latina girlfriends over the years and some of their families were poor or super well off, but they openly hated Mexicans and/or Puerto Ricans.
That number isn't really that surprising.
Aaaah Cuban expats. Welcomed with open arms often getting to jump the line. So much hardship. So much effort. So much privilege and entitlement.
They think they're exempt...lol
Well technically I don't think you can vote to deport yourself since you need to be a citizen to vote federally.
Now voting to have your friends and family removed, now we're cooking!
They're not only gonna deport non-citizens.
Operation Wetback and Wetback 2 would like a word with you. American citizens have been deported to Mexico for simply "looking too Mexican." These people have truly fucked themselves. The leopards are coming for their faces too.
The plan has already been written for him
And I don't think they're gonna worry too much about who they catch up in their dragnet that's legally here
Give those idiots what they want.
For real. ~45% of them deserve to be round up into camps or deported. That's what they voted for, after all.
*the monkeys paw curls
45% of the Latino population in the us that voted for Harris are deported. Or they just somehow sink Puerto Rico.
