Latino Republicans and Independents Back Trump’s Deportation Plan, to a Point

Hispanic voters disillusioned with Democrats want tougher immigration enforcement, but dozens of interviews showed many unfamiliar with details of Trump’s proposal.

Majority of Hispanics Now Favor Mass Deportation

"Notably, the poll found that mass deportation was popular with Hispanics, with 53 percent saying they would favor such a program and 47 percent saying they would oppose it. White people were more supportive of mass deportations, with 67 percent saying they would back the program, and 33 percent saying they would oppose it. Among Black people, it was 47 percent in favor and 53 percent opposed."

I get that people don't like hearing bad things about Kamala because she's literally the only option.

But it's not too late to pull her left.

What Kamala and Trump want would be disasterous and their reasons for wanting it aren't valid:

Harris’s reticence was a significant misstep for several reasons. Among Trump’s long list of controversial proposals, few have faced as much criticism as mass deportation. The scale of his plan is immense, given the roughly 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the United States.

Mass deportation at this level would incur a tremendous cost. A recent report by the American Immigration Council suggests that one-time mass deportation would cost at least $315 billion, including $89.3 billion for arrests, $167.8 billion for detentions, $34.1 billion for legal processing and $24.1 billion for removals.

The long-term economic consequences are worse. Mass deportation of undocumented workers would lead to a 4.2 percent to 6.8 percent reduction in the United States’ annual gross domestic product, amounting to $1.1 trillion to $1.7 trillion in 2022 dollars.

But the human cost would be even more devastating. About 6 million American children could be separated from their parents, potentially ending up in the welfare system. Hundreds of thousands of mixed-status households would endure the trauma of deportation, a known trigger for serious mental health issues. And the loss of undocumented relatives would send hundreds of thousands of families into poverty.

Like, people still talk shit about trump separating families, and we should, it's horrible.

But we should also talk shit about it starting under Obama, that Biden kept doing it, and that Kamala wants to take it further.

Shit doesn't stop being terrible just because a person with a D by their name is doing it.
