I feel so bad for the people who saw that "we'll deport you" ad. How horrible.

I know the Latino community isn't monolithic, but there does seem to be a propensity to support strict immigration laws. Fair enough. But to me it's clear that this whipped-up fear of immigrants isn't about anyone's legal status. It's about their color and the language they (may) speak. I suspect the typical MAGA doesn't care if they're here legally, a naturalized citizen, or first generation. Trump himself made it clear he welcomes immigrants from northern European (i.e., white) countries and not s-hole countries.

Maybe the tiny ray of hope is that this awful ad reduces support for Trump.
