As a Never Trumper, I didn’t get it. So, I interviewed some Latinos for Trump and I got an earful. Many of them saw themselves not as Latinos but as Americans, and so they weren’t hung up on Trump’s anti-Latino screeds. They didn’t like or trust Clinton, appreciated Trump’s frankness, wanted a strong leader, and thought he was right about a lot of issues, including trade and immigration.
Yes, immigration. What most non-Latinos don’t grasp is that Latinos are ambivalent about illegal immigration. They have a front-row seat not just to the pain of deportations, but also to how many immigrants commit crimes or abuse social services.
In 2016, an astounding 29 percent of Latinos voted for Trump.
And now, two years into his presidency, polls show that his support among Latinos is somewhere between 33 and 41 percent. That’s insanely good for a president who is so bad on issues that Latinos supposedly care about.
Then you have the Democrats, who take Latino voters for granted and whose entire Latino outreach strategy can be summed up in six words: “Vote for us. We’re not Republican.”
That’s it? I don’t know about you, but I’m still hungry.

Citizens of every ethnicity want the borders secured and the laws enforced.
The Bush League Republicans were lying when they said we had to pander to latinos with amnesty.

All things considered, the Rats aren’t in good shape at all.
They aren’t as gullible as the democrats think and can actually think for themselves. Unlike liberals.

Tuesday the President is going to announce something about the hordes heading to the USA. Homeland security are coordinating something with the Military. They will not be allowed to touch American soil.
I overheard a pretty liberal woman say she does not want them here.
I think that's right.
In neighborhoods where many first and second generation Americans of Latino heritage live, I see lots of American flags being proudly displayed from their homes.

He is still a lib. Its just the current democrats are lost souls.
Spaniards are Hispanic.
Italians are Latino.
Phoenician?
Beautiful thing
“Bush League Republicans”
I wish we could come up with a more insulting term for those crumb-bums.
Responsible Latinos know that they and their communities would bear the biggest onslaught of the Mob. They don’t need it.
“Homeland security are coordinating something with the Military. They will not be allowed to touch American soil.”
Ooooo, Mr. President, can I go? You don’t have to pay me or anything.
