“Whatever Donald Trump is doing in office, in the minds of Latinos it is not working. They have turned against him in massive, massive numbers,” said CNN data chief Harry Enten on Monday.
Enten pointed out that Trump was nearly tied with 2024 Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris with Latinos on immigration, where the former vice president enjoyed a 2 percentage-point advantage over Trump in October 2024.
Now, Trump has a -38 net approval rating with Latinos on immigration.
Who could have predicted betraying the voting base that handed you the last election would go poorly?
Sure, but why would he give a shit? They’re doing everything they can to make sure he doesn’t need a single vote to stay president.

Sure, but that would mean letting the people they hate and blame for everything bad ever happening to them, stay in the country. When the end goal is racial purity, you can’t half ass it and let a bunch stay. That would invalidate everything they’re trying to accomplish.
Hitler’s “pure” Germany wouldn’t be pure with a bunch of jews living their best lives either. The harassment of the latino population is very important to them, it’s not the end goal, but it’s the first and very necessary step in the lunatics’ plan.
Its absolutely not guaranteed they can compromise the midterms enough to prevent the complete collapse of their coalition.
But if their coalition collapses Trump won’t be able to execute his platform. Hence, the coup. The GOP is betting on being the ruling party of Trump’s fascist dictatorship. Also like the other person said, the goal here is a white America; the immigration thing is just an excuse.

What about the Cubans that want another Batista?
He is just being himself.
Raping children?
What is that concept called about society having a collective short term memory?
Republicans morons can’t get fooled again! But, it do!
I still can’t believe people were this fucking stupid.
This was from before 2024 election, for example:
Donvict was pledging to deport millions. Just where do people think these millions were going to come from?

“He’s not meaning to go and deport every family that crosses the border, he means deport the criminals and the sex offenders,” Peña said.
Every time I read shit like this I feel like I’m gonna have an aneurysm.
After decades of fear mongering they thought there were millions of illegal immigrants
Gee, I wonder why Latinos would dislike Trump…

Not sure, but it apparently wasn’t an issue a a year ago for them.
Didn’t he do fairly well with them in the election? Real leopard energy.
I wonder why they didn’t dislike him during the election.
The left: “He’s going to deport you.”
Trump: “I will deport them.”
Latinos: “Well this seems like a guy I can trust!”
Don’t underestimate how much machismo and acting like a tough guy matters to men in Latino cultures. That’s all the men saw and that’s all that mattered to them.
It’s so weird that the super-soft (10 ply even) Manhattanite who has never worked a real job in his entire life is perceived as a “tough guy”.
Seriously, but a lot of machismo shit is definitely more about acting and appearing tough than actually being tough
Probably see Deported Latinos for Trump signs soon /s
I’ve seen this gif before. I REALLY want to watch what set of events led to this exact situation.
He voted for Trump
Some internet digging points to an instagram page for Humaid Abdulla Albuqaish, who appears to be a rich and Middle Eastern version of Tiger King.
…I’m not super confident on that, as the pics on the linked page don’t look quite like the dude in the gif; but maybe a 10-years-younger version of the dude just looked that different?
Anywho, if that is the dude, the footage is most likely of a pet, and the situation staged to produce the short.
“Yep, that’s me. You’re probably wondering how I got here.”
He is doing everything absolutely wrong.
Through some combination of malice and incompetence he seems to have the ability to do the worst thing possible on every occation.

Everybody in this thread going like, “It was so obvious he was going to do this, how could they be so stupid?”
I’ll tell you why: it’s because the Democrats ran as border hawks. Remember when they were saying, “We’re the ones who actually tried to pass a bill to crack down on immigration, but Trump blocked it.” The Democrats actively downplayed the threat that Trump posed by trying to claim that he was all talk. They completely abandoned any argument like, “Trump wants to build a wall because he’s racist,” in favor of “We’re the ones who actually want to build the wall.” If you’re saying that Latinos were “stupid” or whatever, what you’re saying is that the Democrats were lying and it should’ve been obvious to Latinos that they were lying, and because it was so obvious they were lying, they should’ve voted for them. Which is an absolutely insane thing to say.
When you have two candidates fighting over who’s going to be tougher on immigration, it’s really not that surprising that people who might be affected by that issue don’t vote based on that issue. And many Latinos have conservative cultural values. Absent a clear argument for vote against Trump, like that he’s racist, that his talk about cracking down on “illegals” won’t stop there, they voted based on other shit.
Of course, this reality is utterly unimaginable to the DNC, because it’s taken as unquestionable dogma that the way to win votes is by moving to the right and appealing to the mythical centrist swing voter. The reality is that if you can draw this hard moral line, and stand by it, then you can convince people that you’re actually going to protect their rights and that they should put aside other, less important concerns for the sake of defending this moral line. Even if that requires going out on a limb and adopting a more “extreme” position. Even now, there’s a lot of silence coming from the centrist Dems when they ought to be shouting from the rooftops about this shit, because oh no, what if we alienate the three people in the country who actually liked Dick Cheney.
I fucking hate anybody who tries to pull this “leopards ate their face” bit about vulnerable minorities who were abandoned by both parties. Go fuck yourself. Legitimately, go fuck yourself. You don’t get to stan a party that says, “Fuck you, vote for me,” and then act all smug when people don’t vote for them and get screwed over by the other side. Yeah, it was obvious they’d get screwed over by the other side, but your side was also promising to screw them over. Christ.
I was also told the translations were not accurate at all.

If I remember in the news cycle this bill was a pretty minor thing. The overall message I got was still mainly Democrats = immigration friendly, path to legalization, Republicans = throw these criminals out, though ofc the news I got may not be representative.
Also yes Democrats may have claimed some things about republicans, but on the flip side Republicans also claimed constantly that democrats are softies letting every one and their mother in, so it sort of cancels out.

“Why didn’t they just listen to what the Republicans said about us?”
Even with this insane line of logic you’re expecting them to follow, Kamala still won Latinos. Only by a few points, compared to previous elections where the Democrats did not attempt to run to the right of Republicans on immigration, but more of them still voted for her. Just not enough to overcome the votes of white people. If we’re going to point fingers at entire demographics like this, then we ought to blame the people who are actually most responsible, right? But somehow, it’s always minorities who catch the most blame, isn’t it?
Who said anything about blame?
Also this is a good problem to have because the fix is relatively easy.

It’s like you didn’t read a single thing I said, most crucially the part where I tell people like you to go fuck yourselves.
I don’t think Latinos are some stupid sub human group that can’t be held accountable for their own decisions.
We should absolutely hold them responsible for voting against their own self interests.
Blaming voters for things instead of politicians and campaigns is completely backwards and unproductive. Even if it wasn’t, I’m not going to blame them for taking the democrats at their word for what they were going to do. That’s nonsense. If your campaign depends on people seeing through your lies and still voting for you, it’s a stupid fucking campaign.
Trump’s campaign said he would deport them.
That’s what he campaigned on, deporting hispanics, and they voted for that.
Sorry, but that’s a really stupid thing to do, and it should be pointed out to those stupid people.
Democrats also campaigned on deporting Hispanics, and even more Hispanics voted for the Democrats. I guess that’s also a really stupid thing to do and should be pointed out to those stupid people?
I’m so sick of people trying to change the way entire demographics of people behave rather than trying to change the way one political party’s leadership behaves. It’s so fucking stupid that y’all waste your time trying to pressure literally millions of people to become unconditional supporters of the Democrats rather than trying to pressure the Democrats to adopt positions that would win them over. Like, however stupid you think it is for Hispanics to only vote for the deporter you like slightly more than the deporter you don’t like, your approach here is like 10x stupider.
One person vs tens of millions of people, but since that one person is a member of the ruling class, we couldn’t possibly criticize her or try to pressure her to change, no, that’s not our place, our place is merely to ensure our peers are loyal to our rulers no matter what.
Democrats wanted faster immigration processes to deal with the bottleneck at the border.
They wanted to let more people in.
You’re a really dumb and malicious person.

I read it. And it was fucking stupid. Writing 4 paragraphs doesn’t make you right.
On immigration policy, the survey shows Latinos place a high priority on allowing unauthorized immigrants to stay in the country legally.
Your own source supports my position, lol.
Read further. I read sources I post. They’re in favor of strengthened border protections
Ha
I just don’t understand people at all. How any more than 0% Latinos supported him is a real mystery, but I’m supposing of the ones that did support him and did know that he is affiliated with the likes of Stephen Miller and lots and lots of his white supporters want to deport them - of that number, those people probably thought they are one of the “good ones”, he doesn’t really mean it other than getting really bad criminals, etc…
No, he and his ilk want to kidnap and deport you. Yes, this means YOU. Even if you have citizenship, even if you supported him, even if you are registered Republican. Republicans like Stephen Miller and the groypers and so on want this to be a white America for white Americans.
Read about Cubans, the GOP, Kennedy, and The Bay of Pigs.
