Summary

Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign has reignited fears among undocumented migrants with promises of “mass deportations” and migrant communities are bracing for uncertainty and a new wave of nativism.

His administration plans to target those deemed public safety or national security threats, potentially reinstating workplace raids and using military resources.

Advocates warn that “collateral arrests” could sweep up migrants without criminal records.

Many, like “Dreamers” protected under DACA, fear family separations, while others, such as Carlos in NYC, hope Trump’s economic policies might benefit them.

"A lot of Latinos, those who can vote, did so because they think he [Trump] can improve the economy. That would be very good for us too," said Carlos, an undocumented Mexican who lives in New York City.

“A lot of Latinos, those who can vote, did so because they think he [Trump] can improve the economy.”

I think you missed this part.

That’s what I was responding to. Carlos is explaining why more Latino voters voted for Trump than last election cycles. A majority of both Latino men and women voted for Harris though.

Trump was talking about the economy while Harris was busy pivoting to the right and embracing dick Cheney and her CEO’s

Harris lost more voters from this pivot than she gained from trying to cozy up to literal republicans.

Yes, I assume Trump was lying about how he will help people by fixing the economy, but at least he was lying about the issues that these voters had at the top of their list of priorities. Harris wouldn’t even lie to address any issues her base cares about.

"We want our polticans to be honest!"

Democrats: "fine... but you wont like the truth"

I do think democrats and the left in general do hold their reps to a higher standard. It’s a good thing….. but lol

Edit: this is funny because Harris was actually being 1000% more honest by embracing dick Cheney and the corporate ceos and Israel.
