ActorĀ John LeguizamoĀ obliterated a small horse piƱata while reciting a thorough catalogue of Spanish-language profanities on āThe Daily Showā Tuesday in response to a New York Times/Siena poll that reported formerĀ President TrumpĀ leadsĀ President BidenĀ among Latino voters.
Of the pollās Hispanic respondents, 46 percent they would vote for Trump if the election were held today, and 40 percent said they would vote for Biden.
āYou may be thinking, how is this possible? āBuild the wallā Donald Trump? āMass deportationsā Donald Trump? āGuy who thinks Daddy Yankee is a baseball playerā Donald Trump?ā asked Leguizamo, afterĀ pummeling the piƱata.
āBut the truth is, in 2024, Latino voters have something else on their minds,ā he added, cutting to a news report about Latino voters prioritizing inflation.
That priority was reflected in the Times/Siena poll: 93 percent of Hispanic respondents rated current food and consumer goods prices negatively.
ā¦
For Leguizamo, any newfound Latino support for Trump is unacceptable, inflation or not.
āWell, hereās what you can count on, though. No matter what Trump says about inflation, he doesnāt like us and he doesnāt want us here,ā he said.
My wife and I finally had a political talk with her parents. They are 1st generation immigrants from South America. Moved here some 40 years ago.
We asked why they didnāt like Biden.
āHeās letting all the immigrants in!ā
āBut Dadā¦ weāre immigrants! Why do you think immigrants are bad?!ā
āNo! Weāre legal, weāre not immigrants anymoreā
āDadā¦ weāre still immigrants. We came here legally, and weāre citizens now, but weāre immigrants.ā
āNoā¦ heās letting in bad immigrants!ā
āWhat do you mean? Illegal immigrants? No, heās not letting them in, heās just trying not to kill themā
āHeās letting them in!ā
āYou mean asylum seekers? Heās not just letting them in, heās trying to fix the application system to actually handle the applicants. They would be entering legally if theyāre accepted. They will work hard and earn their place in this country just like you didā
āNo, no like us, we are legal! Letās change the subject, we are getting upsetā
My wife has family in California who entered illegally but gained citizenship thanks to Clinton and they basically have the same argument as your in-laws
My brotherās mother in lawās whole family is the same, only they arenāt even citizens after multiple decades living in the US. I really dont get it. My momās an immigrant, but will never face any problems from it because sheās from England, not El Salvador, but our whole family sees the good and hypocrisy of her being welcome here while Hispanic refugees are told to pound sand.
How can you deny others the same gifts that you were given?
āF U, I got mineā seems to be the common thread.
Truly they have been assimilated
Classic selfishness.
Fuck you, Got mine, is like one of the base requirements of republicanism.
Its OUR treehouse and OUR ladder, not YOURS
Well, everyone cannot have it. Just like we all canāt make a living wage, be rich, or pull the shiny Charizard from a pack. Itās not fair. But lifeās not fair. We need to start following the laws. Neither biden or Trump is doing it right IMO
We could all have a living wage and a shiny Charizard, there isnāt an intrinsic reason for that. The supply is intentionally limited.
The only moral immigration is my immigration.
They forget what is legal today may be illegal tomorrow, such as abortions.
Maybe even try to roll back changes and remove citizen ship granted in the pastā¦ I mean Sir they are trying toban chem trails for fucks sake. There is no limit to the stupidity

Have you tried telling them what a dogwhistle is and how all the hue and cry about immigrants is just a dogwhistle about non-white people?
Maybe in their mind, they came to USA to do honest hardworking business, unlike brown immigrants that are here to smuggle and rape and leeching of welfareā¦ to them thatās what setting them apart. That is not something theyāll spell it out to you. They cannot elaborate or substantiate their beliefs in any meaningful way, but itās the root of their anti-immigration belief and their seeming head scratching hypocrisy nonetheless. But good luck poking into that. Iām sure it will be easy.

āI dont like being shown up and put in a corner by my own child, so change the fucking topic before I get angry and put you in your place.ā
Heās letting them in! They know who they are, they are why they came here in the first place haha. I wish I had an answer. Enforce the laws is all I can think of.
