Mexicans for Trump? “It’s a New Mundo.”
12th February 2016
As a Mexican-American, I can tell you that many Mexican-Americans think that Mexican immigrants who come to the United States illegally are taking advantage—of a porous border, of the social-services safety net, of loopholes in immigration law, and of an insatiable appetite among U.S. employers for cheap and dependable labor. And they’re not wrong about that.
It is one of the most pernicious myths of Identity Politics that Hispanics, especially those of Mexican descent, only have one opinion amongst them. Trump realizes that this is not true, and knows that people of Mexican descent who are in this country legally, either as citizens or legal residents who ran the gauntlet of the current broken immigration ‘process’, don’t have a lot of use for those who crawl across the border.
