Don't hang out in Home Depot parking lots, don't join a gang, don't live in a homeless encampment dominated by illegal immigrants and you'll never even see an ICE officer.

FAFO. The trend of Hispanics voting for Trump republicans is one of the scariest things I’ve seen. Demographically they’ll be the most populous voting block soon and yet they’re voting against their interests.

Anonymous wrote:Trump has it out for Hispanics, doesn't he, right from his very first comments announcing he was running for president ("When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best"...). I don't remember him saying anything about Asians or white people who overstay their visas or work here without authorization. And yet he has employed undocumented Hispanics at his properties for decades. It seems to be personal--beyond garden variety racism.
And yet, last week an Iranian woman ---who came here 30 years ago fleeing the Iranian regime, was a legal resident, complied with all INS check-in requirements, and was married to a US citizen, was snatched away. And then there's the Evangelical MAGA Danish greencard holder in Mississippi with the 4 kids and homeschooling wife who reported to INS to complete (so he thought) the naturalization process but was snatched away because he had missed one form.
So no, I do not think this is just about Latinos, although it may have started that way for Trump. I also think that the rapid hiring in ICE is going to mean that a bunch of Proud Boy white supremacist rednecks are going to apply for jobs and use their unchecked power to grab anyone they think is a "furriner". Trump and JD Vance have a specific view that being American means being white, Christian, and born here to parents who were also US citizens.

It takes for some categories 20 years for a US citizen to legally sponsor a relative from Mexico. So when you have hundreds of thousands of Hispanics following immigration laws, there is resentment that people are jumping the line.
When you have Hispanic immigrants who came illegally anytime before the last 5-7 years and hustled to work and never cost cities billions to be housed and feed by some cities like NYC, theye is a feeling that the immigration round up is due to the new influx of so many claiming asylum.
And the new migrants who claim asylum can legally work after a year while so many illegal immigrants spent 20-30 years working in the shadows.
Now add regional difference with Hispanics from some countries like Venezuelans not liked by Hispanics from other countries. And plenty of Hispanics annoyed there hasn’t been better screening to keep out migrants who are criminals who then prey on other migrants.
You really can’t lump all Hispanics together. It really is a very diverse group. Just look at the percentage of ICE who are Hispanic. It is a very sizeable percentage.

Otherwise you might be swept up when they do regular raids on workplaces.

"But, I didn't think he meant me.....".
Wait until they or someone they know get caught up in an ICE sweep because they look Hispanic.
Exactly. Republican supporting Cubans are suddenly finding out the hard way that MAGA makes no distinction between “us good Latinos” and “those bad Latinos who don’t belong.”
