LITTLETON, Colo. — Pedro Gonzalez has faith in Donald Trump and his party.
The 55-year-old Colombian immigrant is a pastor at an evangelical church in suburban Denver. Initially repelled by Trump in 2016, he’s been heartened by the president’s steps to protect religious groups and appoint judges who oppose abortion rights. More important, Gonzalez sees Trump’s presidency as part of a divine plan.
“It doesn’t matter what I think,” Gonzalez said of the president. “He was put there.”
Though Latino voters are a key part of the Democratic coalition, there is a larger bloc of reliable Republican Latinos than many think. And the GOP’s position among Latinos has not weakened during the Trump administration, despite the president’s rhetoric against immigrants and the party’s shift to the right on immigration.
In November’s elections, 32 percent of Latinos voted for Republicans, according to AP VoteCast data. The survey of more than 115,000 midterm voters — including 7,738 Latino voters — was conducted for The Associated Press by NORC at the University of Chicago.
Other surveys also found roughly one-third of Latinos supporting the GOP. Data from the Pew Research Center and from exit polls suggests that a comparable share of about 3 in 10 Latino voters supported Trump in 2016. That tracks the share of Latinos supporting Republicans for the last decade.
The stability of Republicans’ share of the Latino vote frustrates Democrats, who say actions like Trump’s family separation policy and his demonization of an immigrant caravan should drive Latinos out of the GOP.

Despite is the wrong word.
Because of. Is the proper words.
Legal immigrants hate line jumpers
This is not a big surprise to anyone he’s ever been in the military and met one hell of a lot of loyal Americans of Hispanic heritage.

From a shill at the Associated Press. Of course, they don't need to say with what they're associated.
Oh shock. People who came here the right way and work hard don’t like line jumpers
YES!!
That is why the Leftists want to import more and more illegal aliens who will vote DemonRat. They want more and more Central Americans, Somalis and Sub-Saharan Africans, preferably Muslim, who will party line vote for their enablers and destroy America for the citizens and legal immigrants. Legal immigrants want a better life and are willing to work for it. That is why PDJT has gained support by Latinos and why the working black males are also coming around, seeing the dead-end of DemonRat handouts and supporting our President.
The DemonRat plantation owners need more slaves because the folks who are here legally understand the pointless cycle of entitlements. They prefer to work hard and earn their way. That is NOT what the DemonRats need to build their voting base.
Not all latinos support criminals. Liberal media shocked.
I mentioned to my friend during work last night that it looked like another caravan might be on the move. She said, and I quote:
“I wish he would hurry up and build the f*cking wall.”
She is bilingual and a Mexican-American. Voted for DJT.
