“polling suggests Trump’s attacks on immigrants make many Republican Iowa caucusgoers more likely to support him, not less.”

    Sure, I totally get the anti-immigration part, but he’s essentially calling them poison because they’re immigrants. Surely they’re not a fan of that.

        The Cuban immigrants who first left because of Castro were wealthy land owners and some slave holders.

        First wave Florida Cuban immigrants especially will always throw others under the bus when it comes to immigration

      It was my neighbor I was speaking with back in the day prior to the trump election.

      Not only did he say that it didn’t really matter. He went so far as to agree with the not sending their best people rhetoric. So yes indeed, it’s “that other Latino.”

      He told me that where his family was from things were different. The competition was hardwired. He said politically it wasn’t that far from what his family had left and he was comfortable with that as the opportunity was here.

      I had moved before the kids in camps shit happened, and the putting them in foster. It would be interesting to hear if he had a change of heart. It would not surprise me to hear it did not.

      He was very pro “fuck you I got mine”

      Sweetest guy to me though.
