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.

Please stop spreading misinformation.

A supermajority of Latino voters voted for Kamala, including a majority of Latino men specifically.

The only groups that supported Trump with a majority are white people.

White people are the problem, not Hispanic and black voters.

didn't mean to spread any misinformation. i still see in what you've sent me that latin men lag behind latin women by a significant margin voting about evenly between trump and harris

[–] DancingBear@midwest.social 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yes majority was higher among women significantly.

More Latinos voted for Trump than in past elections.

I just keep seeing democrats trying to blame Latinos and blacks for their bad campaign.

Hope you’re having a good weekend 👍

thanks. you too. i see the failures as being mostly relating to misunderestimating the power of the right wing propaganda machine, even as the world over has gotten more authoritarian

The crazy thing about accusing Latinos of being sexist or racist is that Mexico currently has a female progressive president who is closer to Bernie than any other US politicians.

Trump was speaking to the economy, the thing that was highest priority for these voters. He may be lying his ass off, but he was talking about it. Meanwhile, Harris was talking about how happy she was to be supported by her 80 corporate CEO’s and going on and on about it being so exciting to have Dick and Liz Cheney’s support.

When Walz came into her campaign her lead skyrocketed, but then Kamala pivoted to the right, while Trump continued to talk about the economy. Bad move on her part.
