    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.

      We told them the leopard was right fucking there and that it loves eating faces. They didn’t believe us.

      Oh well. 🤷

      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?”

          Mine is: My guy…Pedro hiking through the desert with nothing but half a jug of water and the clothes on his back is not the enemy. The suits shipping labor overseas and still employing undocumented immigrant labor here create this situation and hurting some poor immigrant/refugee seeker doesn’t change anything about that. Punch up not down

          Or are you a sniveling bitch
