- Journalist and author Paola Ramos sits down with Michael Kosta to discuss her new book “Defectors: The Rise of the Latino Far Right and What it Means for America.” Following the vice-presidential debate between JD Vance and Tim Walz, they discuss why Trump’s messaging is resonating with Latino voters, Vance’s dehumanizing comments about immigrant families, the impact of cultural forces like race, colorism, and colonialism, and what Democrats can do to reach out to more Latino voters. #DailyShow #PaolaRamos #Latino

Same way Mark Robinson thinks having slavery again wouldn't effect him... people can be extremely delusional.
Mmmmm idk that’s certainly on a whole ‘nother level
Slavery in the States meant legally Mark Robinson would have not been a human being. Legally.
This situation, it’s true, would affect/does affect all Latino people but there’s no comparison to chattel slavery.
Bingo!
@@OscarLangleySoryu I would say that parallels can be drawn here
@@HuskyOwner-bl1jf yeah but that’s like saying there are parallels between someone who attends church on holidays and a violent extremist lol
@@OscarLangleySoryu
The OP did not compare deportation to slavery. They compared the denial of those who'd be affected.
This is an issue I see with other people too. I'll never understand how members of my own family who literally are immigrants can turn and say that they hate immigrants and whatever. Like... ma'am, you weren't born here. How do you forget that?
now im a long line of Dane in Denmark, but some immigrants think that the hate will go away if we stop getting new immigrants
pulling the ladder up behind them is unfortunately a thing some people do!
@@saint-miscreant Yep, it is the classic. Well I got mine, so you can kick dirt
They didn’t forget, they’re making sure the door is closed behind them. When in Rome…
It fascinates me how some folks are against their own kind/group. Im an immigrant and i'll never ever support an xenophobic candidate, i don't see myself as better than any other immigrants. The other side of the coin is that i dont automatically support anyone just because they are my kind either but that's another subject.
It always killed me that Latinos were willing to vote for Trump considering how much he talks trash about them.
It's a symptom of media algorithms. The biggest difference today is the sale of news. Reporters no longer report. News is pkged for sale. Algorithms funnel you the sales you like, so you don't get all perspectives.
Hispanics/Latinos aren't a monolith. Their journey to the US are all unique, and most are here legally and Americanized, 3rd 4th generations... and dont identify with 1st gen migrants and their struggles
Latinos are mostly catholics and lean to the authorities.
@@jPuma817 And sometimes it's out of fear & the feeling of self preservation. "If I hate the same people who those with more power hate, then the powerful won't target me."
Happens all over the world as sadly, racism & hatred are traits way too common in humans.
@@mattgibson6144very ‘leopards eating my face party’ 🥲
It’s much more than just many Latinos voting against their own interests, a lot of MAGA supporters tell me Trump is the only one that will fight for the “little guys” and support the poor from the “elites.” Whaaaaat??!!
The brainwashing is so effective they don't even question or even really hear what he says . You see it in interviews with them, it doesn't matter what they're asked they trot out the answer they've swallowed completely. It's quite frightening.
Not a crazy idea if you consider that the elites are frequently mocking the Republican voter. From Obama, to mainstream media, to social media they all make jokes about the values and lifestyles of people who follow the GOP. It is like this notion that voting Dem makes you smart and cool, when in reality the Dems have abandoned most of the issues of the little guy and only come back to talk about them during the election cycles. Yesterday Kamala spoke about a financial program to help Black Men get ahead. Why now? That's why the male segment of the Dem Party is bleeding heavily.
She explained her points very well! I will definitely grab her book and read it
EVERYONE! Please DO NOT believe what this person said. I heard nothing but nonsense. And im pretty sure the book has more of that non sense. Just as I am a recent migrant that came from Mexico no long ago (I was not raised in the US) as well as A LOT of friends and people that i know that are also migrants from either Mexico or from South America, we are just tired of the lies and incompetence from the democratic party. We are just in favor of "common sense". And that has been lacking for a while on left or at least on the last a couple of years... The main point that i would say is that we came to the US for a better life and to no deal with the cartels, crime nor poverty. But, with all of the democratic polices implemented during biden administration, it feels like we had a better life in Mexico or other South American countries. We DO NOT want to repeat the history that we left behind.
She is truly her father's daughter. As a young person I grew up respecting her Dad. And it is truly lovely to see her become just as an amazing, intelligent and respected journalist
i wish she wouldve touched more on the racism that exists in the native countries. That racism in the native countries validates the American assimilation for fair skin latinos.
True and don't forget the white privilege people enjoy in the islands and elsewhere in Latin America.
Watch the report Paola and I produced in Peru, (Perus indigenous revolt, vice news)
Yep. Fair thing to point out. But it is quite surprising to see a fair skinned Latina talk about these issues. So long as this isn’t white washed.
She did mention a little bit the heritage of colonialism and the issues of race and colorism in Latin America.
"X minority" can be racist too", is something Democrats have trouble with. There's a reason they can't really address this, and it's something that causes issues not just for Democrats, but the left in general, and that's *essentialism*. In short, you hear correct narratives about systemic issues including racism as being different from overt racism, but many want to simplify this to attack individuals rather than fix difficult problems. Meanwhile the right actively pretends there is no difference, further confusing everyone. Then, to top it off, grifters will infect organisations built to address strategic problems with their personal grievances. (Note these people are usually deeply conservative, regardless how they present, often being a minority).
Excellent talk. Thank you for this interview.
When she said nativism it reminded me... Almost none of us are natives. My belief is that any anti immigrant stance is inherently hypocritical in the context of American history. My great grandfather escaped war and subjection in Macedonia, story goes he went through Ellis Island. Well, not everyone gets that opportunity and ultimately that opportunity exists because true natives were pushed out.
We cannot say "this is ok for some but not for others" when we have the wealth we have and sit on it.
I see a Paula Ramos interview, i click. Simple as that. She's a powerhouse!
More like propaganda word salad
In addition to colonialist racism, internalized, there is Latino confusion about governments calling themselves socialist, which in modern terms means controlled and policed capitalism, as in Scandinavia...whereas communism is a one-party system, where the rich, as in theocracies, enslave the poor...a relative matter, as education has been 'tracked' everywhere, condemning some to generations of semi-literacy...a high school education now means...just that. Which is unjust. Fascism and dictatorships, where MAGA is headed, are simply other versions of one party states. Dictators, oligarchs, theocrats...super rich buying 'justice', installing corrupt judges...McConnell...and remember Clarence and Alito are from earlier versions of the increasingly fascistic Republicans... Labels are not reality, the map of the territory, as philologists said, can be very skewed, warped, mis-lensed. And for MAGA's deluded, the label is All. Alternative fictions. Muy bien, senorita Ramos...el gusto es nuestro.
@sarawilliams3190 Yes she is! 💙
@@Games4Kidz7 if you're too dumb to understand her, just say that.
@@Games4Kidz7bendiciones a tu pequeñita corazón
She’s 100% on the mark. Dems need to listen to her.
Latinos need to listen to her!
So you are saying in order to win these conservative latinos over, Democrats should become more rightwing and stricter towards new immigrants.
So u agree that Latinos support Trump because they don't want to be "lumped together" with new immigrants? It's a selfish image reason?
Nah. Latinos just don't want to be seen as POC, so many support white supremacy. I'm not sure how the Democratic Party would change that. Lol
Spanish people are tired of lying Dems. If your Spanish and still vote Dem then you no paying attention this aint about Trump, this is about saving USA.
She speaks the inconvenient truth. Brilliant. Enlightening. Trump and Vance play you all. Don’t be fooled. Vote Blue for our democracy and our country 🙏💙🇺🇸
lol! “Inconvenient Truth” or baseless lies?
Immigrants are NOT the cause of all our problems - kicking “them” out will not make America “great” - once “they” are purged and the problems continue, then Trump will find another “they” to blame for the problems. That is what worries us that see his brand of politics as dangerous.
Vote Claudia de la Cruz for REAL change!

Blue policies do not make sense. Trump's policies are proven winners. I am voting for trump again. I am never voting for a democrat again.

How would you explain that to a slow person?
@@LoneGRoEnt do you mean like those flag stabbers attacking the capitol
@@lwells3937 During Trump's complete presidency democrats arguned Trump, was a dictator and commited treason for colluding with Russia. Same democrats called J6 a coup, and started a campagin to program weakminded viewed to berlieve J6 was worst than 9/11 and on top of that an attack to democracy. Russia Collusion was orchestrated by DNC, FBI, CIA.. Thats should have concerned you back in 2016. How many flags died on J6?
Voting for a Democrat is like a tree voting for an axe because he has a wooden handle
Voting for Kamala is like a chicken voting for KFC !! LATINO MEN FOR TRUMP !!!! All day everyday!!!
I’m half White and half Mexican, but being third generation immigrant, I still highly reflect with what is going on at the border. I never forget that they are humans too. Yes my grandparents came here legally via the Bracero Program, but it doesn’t make me hate them. How we have assimilated into the American culture is interesting, some of my cousins are so Americanized they don’t even know where in Mexico our grandparents came from. Knowing that history is important because if you don’t know where you’ve been, you won’t know where you’re going.
such a great intelligent interview. I want to learn more from Ms. Ramos. So very informed and deliberate. thanks for sharing your time here. Ill be looking for your book; we are a mixed race family, in spite of believing we are of the same human race ... just many different beautiful shades and tones
I love the "No?" After each statement. It's the English equivalent of "Right?." Spanglish ❤❤❤
I also adore her "Em," in place of the anglo "Um,"
Smart young lady! She is amazing
Dear Interviewer, No need to interject with "right". Let her speak her thought interupted. Thank you for hosting this brilliant captivating person.
Read her book this weekend. As a Latina, I’m always wondering about this topic. Fantastic and enlightening read!
Always? Latinos have traditionnaly voted democrat, like since forever. Even in 2016, milenials and their hissy-fit/apathy (over Bernie Sanders/when it came time to vote) helped tRump way more than the few latino votes he got
I love how latinos say latinos.
@malteschaper3782
Oh, you mean…correctly?
Or latinas!
@@jeffalobill Yeah, that's probably it.
So delicious to hear people who can effortlessly toss off sentences like "Ground people in that urgency". What a rich language we share when people are ready to explore its possibilities.
Maybe you should wonder why 80% of English vocabulary is Latin. Knutson is, if I am not mistaken, Danish. People all over the world speak multiple languages. Unlike pale-Americans who expect everyone to speak to them in English (even if hillbillies and white trash don't quite do). Even abroad. Like you.
And no. Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Catalan, Greek, etc are richer. Danish isn't. Sorry.
This is very interesting. In Germany, we have a far right party (the ADF) and "people with a migrant background" vote for them, because they are dont see that they are in the same boat as asylum seekers.
Yeah, it’s because those folks don’t see themselves as “them” and they don’t realize that they can become “them” as soon as the fascists need a new scapegoat.
The most seek not asylum, they want only the money! When the demonstrants in Berlin will have their own Kalifat, then is something wrong with immigration! Also when Afghan people seek "Asylum" and travel back to holidays in Afghanistan, why they are want Asylum in Germany!
That's very different
@@visibletoa11userznot really. The premise remains that there is a "native" majority, left and right, which has clearly "othered" a group of people and gets really confused when "they" don't see themselves as "those people".
They aren't though.
For starters, asylum seekers can't vote
Beauty, brains and an impressive knowledge of the subject!
I wish walz would have gone on offense and called out Vance for their plan to deport and separate American families.
JD Vance is an example of what 'some-what' being eloquent can do when you're a compulsive liar, and on the other side of the spectrum, Paola Ramos is a prime example of what being an eloquent speaker stating facts can do as well.
Paola is brilliant and I will buy her book.
Wow, listening to this after the election and its aged well. She should be back on the show
What we learnt from this. People will always sell people out if they are ahead, to stay ahead.
I hate when my people do this and then hide it behind religious reasons. I have people in my family voting for Trump because how he feels about homosexuals it's dumb. not to mention a lot of immigrants in my family and still it's counterproductive
what are you talking about ?! Homosexuality is a non issue here, unlike deporting hispanics (even the "legal" ones) which he says he will do
This woman needs to be in Congress. It is the right time for a change by young people towards reality as opposed to the fictional money driven insanity that drives politics today. Are we done with that or do we wish for more of the same?
Consider this...
Religion must be seen as another significant factor. Latino communities tend to be very religious, and unfortunately, the Republican Party has successfully tied its image to conservative ideals often seen in religion. It’s also crystal clear that the vast majority of pastors promote Trump as the candidate most aligned with their beliefs.
This is so true. I see the Catholic Church as being a big factor in this.
Yet, if you ask me Trump is the least pious person out there
He only worships himself and the all might dollar and in that order
Bingo!!
@@joyceburdno4314Joe Biden is relatable in that way.
@@joyceburdno4314 Surpsingly Latino Catholics aren't the ones voting more for Republicans. It's Latino protestant, newly converted, and reborn Christians that are going for Republicans. The pattern is the more "assimilated" to "American" culture and religion the more they'll vote for Republican. This also ties into whether or not Spanish is the dominant language at home since more Spanish spoken is associated more with voting for democrats than to Republicans.
To me it's a result of what I heard in the early 1900 when people were shamed for speaking Spanish not being "American". They did the same to the American Natives before us too.
Jorge Tamos is a national treasure. And NOW his DAUGHTER is EVEN GREATER ❤️💙🔥

@@Hellkite-er5pg yeah I have some FAT ASSED THUMBS 👍 😂🤷
National treasure from which nation ?
Yeah, biggest traitor to our Patria Grande, Abya Yala. Please make sure you keep them safely for yourselves (Trump is in a way right, we only eject our worst people). Thanks!
In Puerto Rico, the pro-statehood candidate for Governor and current Resident Commissioner for Puerto Rico in Washington, Jennifer González (aka JGo), a Trump supporter, is running a campaign based on fear directed at the pro-independence candidate Juan Dalmau.
She's calling him communist, socialist, anti-american (just like Trump calls democrats) and linking him to "dictators" like Nicolas Maduro, Daniel Ortega and others.
People who have absolutely nothing to do with Puerto Rico but since her followers don't read, just like Trump's followers, the tactic has been doing what she hoped would do, scare the 💩 out of them so that they don't vote for independence. Those followers of hers are also Trump supporters which I find totally disgusting given his track record not only with Puerto Ricans but with Latinos in general.
If you're Puerto Rican, have some effing dignity and vote for Kamala Harris.
Yo Bro.... Hate to break it to you but Juan Dalmau is 100% a Socialist, as is the entire PIP. That's their bag brother. It's not a secret. Their whole platform is about exiting the United States and implementing a Socialist government. What do you think will happen to Puerto Rico without US dollars? What will they sell and who will they sell it to? .......It is it really fear mongering or is it just math?
Saludos Hector. The attacks on the left in PR have always been the same. In the past it was Ruben Berrios (PIP), Mari-Bras, Gallisa Partido (Socialista) who were associated to the socialists and communists of the world. As the independence movement makes inroads both, the PNP and PPD will try to discredit them and create fear in the voters. But the day will come when the independence movement is strong enough to take control of the country. We will see if the voters make that choice.
Bravo Paola! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Some "Latinos" never crossed. Yet, a lot of us have empathy for immigrants.
@@laril4827 nobody said otherwise
This is part of what she was talking about. You're still an immigrant. And this is what this country was founded on

Yes, have a detailed look at Latin America’s history of colonialism and how that has shaped the lives of Latinos (of different ilks).
Why do they think fascism will help them?
They always had to rely on either the 'father' of a ranch or the 'padre' of the church.
2:16 - particularly elites who had land and political influence, attempted to assimilate by adopting “Anglo” American norms, especially in Texas. Some Tejanos (Texans of Mexican descent) aligned themselves with early settlers and took on roles in state politics and business, trying to blend into the rising dominated power structure in the region.
Hi Mauricio. Do you think they had a choice to remain in power? What was the other option?
South Asian Americans also act like this. Not all, but many do when they ironically live and work in communities of their own kind.
Bravo to her for this book..
Has she tried calling them Latinx? They're really gonna love that 😅
Ok, my Cubans friends, start putting your home in the market, give up your Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, take your savings out of the bank and enjoy your trip back to the island that you love, and the Castro's government. Happy days.
The idea of Other, comes with racism, comes with narcissism, comes from being affected and near to those sorts of people, the inappropriate drive to be enough, to have approval…as if these aren’t just sick ideas
Yes, because he’s talking about mass deportation for anyone who doesn’t fit his criteria?
Vote blue! 💙💙💙
This doesn't surprise me at all as a Latino. In her conversation on Apple News, she talks about where the Left/Democrats have failed Latinos. For one, most Latinos in America speak English now as their primary language, not Spanish. Latinos are racially diverse, but even among Latinos who are of African ancestry, many may not self-identify as "Black." Latinos can be of any race, many are multi-generational, and their story to immigration may be a distant one by now. Latinos are religious, with Latinos now being the fastest growing demographic among Evangelicals and Muslims. YES, Latinos are converting to Islam! For many Latinos, "communism" is tied to trauma and dislocation from Leftist regimes like Cuba and Venezuela (1/4 of Venezuela's population has fled the Maduro regime). So the GOP linking Democratic social policies to "communism" is very effective. Spanish language radio in the US is very conservative, with many hosts mirroring the disinformation peddled by the Right and Trump. Latinos are complex, we LACK racial solidarity like African Americans and ethnic solidarity like Jewish Americans. And yes, some Latinos are Jewish, as well. Democrats can't take Latinos for granted, since we now constitute a growing segment of the populations in many key swing states.
Brillante!
The problem is not only on the Republican side, the Dems have dismissed minority's vote in general taking it for granted. If anything, the GOP rethoric is working on radicalized Latinos since they don't see themselves as immigrants.
I love this 💌
I look forward to reading this book.
Paola Ramos is an excellent Journalist and Author. Never miss an opportunity to watch or read any and all of her work.
I love her❤❤
It's not the Latinos. Filipinos also have the same mentality. Vote BLUE to save Democracy!
It’s not voting against our own interests at all !! It’s just a simple matter of a sense of the United States controlling the rate of immigration not the other way around. I’m 🇵🇷 so I’m fortunate enough to not have that issue, but most of Latinos I know outside of that came here legally and went thru a process . The sense of anyone coming here illegally doesn’t sit well with most Americans not just Latinos , democrats have long taken that aspect for granted . If the democrats wake up to the fact ( I believe that is where Harris differs from Biden ) . I believe she would have zero issue signing a tough immigration reform bill. As long as Trump is out of the picture. He shot down a bill that would have started us in the right direction, just to complain about it later .
There was a tough immigration reform bill in place and the Biden administration dropped it creating the chaos we have now. Hopefully Harris, if elected, will be more responsible and accountable for the migratory crisis she helped to create.
This is very similar narrative from the Asian American communities voting for Trump. Particularly, Vietnamese and Filipinos
Important perspective to remember thank you for making sense of it
That is all we ever needed or wanted, isn’t it?
As Latino-American, this women is out of touch with the community! Latinos for Trump!!!
My husband and I lived and taught in the Coachella Valley, in the East Valley, which is essentially 100% Latino. The entire Valley is heavily Latino, U.S. born, immigrant, migrant, and undocumented. There is a lot of prejudice from naturalized and second and third generation citizens toward immigrants, especially illegal, but also those given amnesty back in 1986, or any perceived to have taken the easy way out to citizenship. Moreover, much bigotry exists in the Mexican culture against other immigrants, especially black and non-Latino. So it doesn't surprise me at all if a significant portion of Latinos of Mexican ancestry feel little empathy for immigrants.
There is no significant or relevant bigotry that stands out from Mexicans that would need to single them out for no reason. You can say the same thing for any group, it’s weird when you try to do it against Mexicans as if it was a specially unique problem. It sounds more like you having a personal plight against Mexicans, can’t you do an analysis without injecting your personal feelings?
One of the problems is the perception, and reality, that many immigrants are coming to the USA without the due process and are given lot of resources at the expense of the taxpayers. I have many Latino friends who spent thousands of dollars and waited a decade for a relative to be able to enter the country. Those ones tend to be the most vocal against unvetted immigrants.
She couldn't be more on point. It's so scary to be honest.
She says "ground people in that urgency", but that's not going to bother Trump voting latinos. It's the non-voters who don't support this that need to be convinced of the urgency, so they get out and vote against it.
It makes no sense. We'll vote for Chump and he'll deport my relatives?
Well when you put it that way, I actually have a couple of relatives I wouldnt mind being away from...
i’m latino and in my experience… it’s complicated. some have a superiority complex. some have generally conservative social views/ are very religious. i’ve met a newly “legal” immigrant that says that will vote trump because of the economy.
right wing propaganda and fear mongering, specifically on crime etc, run rampant in latino social media communities, like whatsapp.
Loved that she said, "color-ism". "Racism" is too confusing and complicated of a word to use in a short sentence.
@@Theguy.fromthethingI was thinking that too. But they don't deport the Irish anymore.
Did they come to the USA legally? Did they do all the paperwork and paid all the fees? Did they have to wait 5-10 years to come in? If they did they are fine. If not they should be deported.
Love to see the next generation of Ramos journalism. Doesn’t hurt that she looks just like her dad!
I was waiting to see if anyone could pick this up. Even her gestures and mannerisms exude her father.
Hopefully she will be more neutral than Jorge. During the Trump administration Jorge was a rabid dog attacking every comment or action DTS made. But he was way too quiet during the Biden/Harris period. Many, many critical issues such as the border, middle East wars, Ukraine War, economy, criminality were not brought up or only superficially. If DTS wins and Jorge comes back to go after Trump aggressively that would be very hypocritical and biased.
Interesting. I agree with her.
I love her articulation and I love your show and I am so glad to hear people that are clear on it talking clearly and honestly and you don't have to guess the game they're playing
Salvadorean for Trump 🇺🇸
Maybe much of the Latino voting block has adopted the philosophy of I got mine and I'm not sharing with you...
(hence the battle with blacks and why they fear Kamala might favor them)...
A very smart informed young woman !! She NEEDS to have a chat with
Harris !!
The Jorge Ramos genes are strong. What a talent.
This is so sick that instead of identifying as compatriots in need when coming to this country so many are trying to ostracize others who stand in the same place for these Latinos and their ancestors……
Anddddd I’m in love 🥰 😍🥰😍
Lovers of democracy, ignore this woman at your peril. As an African-American (whose father earned a Purple Heart in Korea), I'm really fascinated by this development.
It is glorious to see how the snowflakes are melting 😂😂😂😂
There are many contributions to this and it’s not just about Latinos feeling more white (which is true as well). New conservatism is really appealing to the Machismo in Latino men, and religious conservatism also appeals more to older Latinos.
Latinos are also not a monolith. Cubans and Venezuelans specifically see themselves as fleeing socialism, and conservatives really thrive on anti-socialist rhetoric.
Democrats have also shifted further to the right on immigration. The ACLU literally sued the Biden Admin for his immigration bill. Democrats not only have to point out how bad Trump is, but also push for amnesty and new pathways towards citizenship like the did in 2020. Many young Latinos are feeling left behind by the democrats because of this. Most minority groups also feel a kinship to the Palestine issue, making them less for Harris or Trump.
And, they are kidding themselves if they think they are not going to be oppressed or exiled.
Fascinating stuff. I've always wondered why Trump gets any Latino support.
They believe him when they call us socialist and commies. I wish they would fight back more on those labels. Venezuelan and Cuban communities vote overwhelmingly republican here in Florida for that reason
I just saw Ramos calls Latinos “transphobic”. Please clarify - is it “Transphobic” to believe that men shouldn’t play in women’s sports? B/c about 90% of all people agree with that - and so Latinos are just being reasonable. Is it “transphobic” to not want to indulge in ‘pronouns’ that perpetuate fantasy and leads to compelled speech? This woman is one reason why Kamala got trounced. Accusing rational Latinos who care about real issues as “phobic” bigots is a losing strategy and insulting to all people, not just Latinos.
Now I finally "get it" however troubling.😮
Love your enthusiasm & free spirit attitude 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙VOTE KAMALA💙💙💙💙💙VOTE BLUE💙💙💙
Man, her mannerism, her poses, and expressions are a carbon copy of her fathers...This is literally the apple doesn't fall from the tree.
Gracias Ramos. Very proud of your work.
Random aside...
Just read an article from south Texas this morning. Local residents, briefly halted construction of a new migrant shelter, upset over its proximity to their neighborhood, schools, etc.
“We are here to stop the construction of this shelter for migrants. It is something we don’t need,” said Beatriz Paredes, whose children attend the nearby elementary and middle schools. “We will be affected, and the children will be affected. A lot of children walk (to school) by themselves. We are not saying they (the migrants) are bad, but we don’t know what habits they have.”
Not to stereotype, but Beatriz Paredes has quite the Latina ring to it, doesn't it?
This, coupled with the fact that there is photographic evidence of "obvious" Latino faces, holding those protests signs...
Regardless of race, color, religion, or creed...nobody's hands are clean in this mess.
Don't shoot the messenger. As someone who comes from a Latino family who is Republican (I'm an independent), many Latinos whose parents came here legally feel that other Latinos should do the same.
It's uncanny how much she looks like her father. But his father is an icon.
Latinos are at an impasse similar to what Italians and Irish went through.
I think a big part of it too is a morally justified sense of selfishness, which applies to all races. It feels like trump voters see serving themselves as a spiritual truth
Nothing about Trump is brilliant. Please stop calling him brilliant.
Many Latino Americans also think a lot of Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, are illegal immigrants in their country.
My high school diploma is currently valid, and it’ll remain valid for the rest of my life, correct?
correct.
Immigrants who make it up the ladder kick people down instead of extending them a hand up. This is the American way. 😂
When I teach my students about our Latino heritage it is always in the context of the post 1500 age of European expansion and colonialism. Within this context, there are 2 kinds of Latinos: the European descendants and the colonized. This may help explain some of the disparities that arise when discussing the "rise of the Latin right wing". The colonized rarely like to identify with the colonizers, unless there is something to gain by distinguishing themselves apart from their families. But in doing so, they dishonor their personal heritages. That's not being true to Latinos.
