As the media reports keep coming in like Trump Co. want?
The support for the admin mass immigvrant sweeps keeps dropping ….
Those Hispanic/Latino lawmakers ARE sensitive to the feelings and views that THEIR party is after their people…
And THAT could cost those lawmakers votes…
Hispanic Republicans in the U.S. House say they are increasingly concerned that President Donald Trump’s mass deportation campaign could backfire with Latino voters, as they look for ways to protect some undocumented immigrants from deportation.
These Republicans expressed fear that the inroads Trump and the GOP made with Latino voters in 2024 could erode because of what they see as a haphazard approach to mass deportations, which are starting to disrupt their communities and threaten local businesses. They are growing especially anxious about the push to arrest and deport migrants whose only crime is crossing the border illegally.
“We’re all against criminals and gang members and those with deportation orders. But as this is starting to touch some folks who have known somebody who’s been here 20 years, more and more [people] are starting to see it, and there’s more and more response in the districts,” Rep. Carlos A. Gimenez (R), who represents a predominantly Hispanic district in South Florida, said in an interview.
The concern from Latino Republicans — along with some of their conservative colleagues — comes as the Trump administration, throughWhite House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, has directed immigration officials to make a minimum of 3,000 arrests daily.
Trump’s pledge to shut down the southern border and deport undocumented immigrants who committed violent crimes resonated with voters, including Hispanics with whom Republicans made solid gains in 2024. Latino GOP House members also supported cracking down on border crossings and deporting criminals….
Note…
It WOULD seem that those who voted FOR Donald Trump got NOTHING in return….
What a bunch of damn fools they are.
Trump told them what he was going to do.Now they’re upset about it?
Dumbasses
Kick em again Don they like it!
Agreed…..
The man’s word is WORTHLESS
I don’t understand what you are saying here.
His word is “worthless?”
Not in this case.
Indeed he is doing EXACTLY what he said he would do,deporting thousands.
Apparently,these Hispanic legislators thought he wasn’t serious.Why they thought that ,considering his anti immigrant tirades over the past ten years or so, is foolish and they look like what I said above…
Damn fools.
Donald Trump talked in vague promiese to deport those ‘who are charged with or convicted of certain crimes. ‘….
AFTER being sworn in?
He allowed Miller to move to stop the ‘Invasion’ of the United States by migrants…
Prior to the election he in NO way stated what Miller would do which included going after migrants without due cause and without allowing them the right to counsel…
Yes…
These numnuts VASTLY misjudged someone who IS a serial Liar…..
Whose words and promises have to be taken to court to be nullified…..
My discription of his words meanings can be applied to other things of course….
Ridiculous
Deportation of “ illegals” has been the cornerstone of the MAGA movement from the beginning. His actions since his election have been thoroughly predictable.
For these Hispanics to act surprised by his actions to date is the height of stupidity.
