I know Hispanics from Mexico, Central, and South America who have immigrated here legally. They are categorically against letting anyone come in illegally just because they want to.
These legal immigrants are also some of the strongest supporters of the US Constitution that I know.
I get the feeling that these pundits that they refer to do not know any legal immigrants.
LITTLETON, Colo. – Pedro Gonzalez has faith in Donald Trump and his party.
The 55-year-old Colombian immigrant is a pastor at an evangelical church in suburban Denver. Initially repelled by Trump in 2016, he’s been heartened by the president’s steps to protect religious groups and appoint judges who oppose abortion rights. More important, Gonzalez sees Trump’s presidency as part of a divine plan.
“It doesn’t matter what I think,” Gonzalez said of the president. “He was put there.”
Though Latino voters are a key part of the Democratic coalition, there is a larger bloc of reliable Republican Latinos than many think. And the GOP’s position among Latinos has not weakened during the Trump administration, despite the president’s rhetoric against immigrants and the party’s shift to the right on immigration.
