“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.

    I fucking wish these people didn’t have to learn the hard way… “We” were telling them he’d do this, he was telling them he’d do this, but who know what they were thinking to believe it wasn’t going to go down like this…

      Voters are lazy. I would assume it’s because they equated his first four years to prosperity (it wasn’t) and assumed it would be more of the same.

        Few groups hate “illegals” more than immigrants. They did it the “hard way” so it shouldn’t be easy for anyone else.

        Idk how anyone would say the first 4 years were prosperous. When he left office we weren’t allowed to leave our house or stand closer than 5 feet to each other and people were freaking out about having to wear masks. People were hoarding toilet paper. That doesn’t seem prosperous to me

          Pretty sure that Donvict and Pence were throwing rallies with the slogan “promises made, promises kept” in 2020, too. I kept thinking - really, they promised THIS? A worldwide pandemic that they completely screwed the pooch on?

          Yeah, but we all got checks with his name on them and told we don’t have to care about the “weak” in our community if it inconvenienced us. Also racism and sexism and “faith” are back in the open . Isn’t that worth it?

      I would assume they were happy to close the door behind them, when it comes to immigration. I think they did not expect their friends and family would be deported.
