    The part that absolutely baffles me is that latinos shifted heavily to vote for Trump, for potentially the deportation of their own family members.

      was speaking with a colleague who lives near Padre - he said he had family members that felt, ‘we’re legal, we’ll be fine, they’ll just get rid of the newcomers’

      they don’t understand this is not a new thing and is racially driven, not truly an immigration issue.

      I worked with a Mexican Trump supporter. He hated illegal immigrants because he immigrated legally and he was pissed they got away with it the “easy way”.

        My question to that petty AF dude is, “so what? Can you mind your own fucking business, or are you a sniveling bitch?”
