    I come from a family of Mexicans who are all Trump supporters. In this case it is the Mexicans fault too. If I recall Trump support among Hispanics is some of the highest in Republican history with 45% of Hispanics voting for Trump.

    This is all tongue in cheek of course. They’re all too stupid to realize what can, and likely will, happen to them.

      Yeah, he polled highly among Hispanics in 2020, too. I legitimately do not understand it.

        guessing they fall into one of two main camps…

        good catholics voting against women’s rights and perhaps not understanding the other things that go along with voting that way, and ‘got mine, fuck you’ aimed squarely at others following behind them, legally or not.

          It’s stupidity and racism

          Ive lived in California my whole life and have known many illegal immigrants and their families

          The second most racist group of people I’ve ever fucking met are Mexican immigrants (legal or not) already here who think the ones who haven’t come here for whatever reason are “empty headed wetback rapists who make us all look bad, that’s why we’re here!” (their words almost exactly)

          Pointed out to one guy I knew in 2016 that if the wall was what he wanted then he and his family wouldn’t even fucking be here and he responded with “we were smart enough to get here before the wall!”

          These are the same morons who will call someone born there but raised here “unpure” as well so you can kinda tell they’re not the best of people already

        In part, this is how “whiteness” works in the US. Once an immigrant community becomes established enough, they start to believe that licking the boot will finally grant them that status they crave.
