Since he didn’t answer the question: undocumented farmworkers make up nearly 50% of the farm labor work force. Trump’s mass deportation plans would not only cost billions, it will quite literally decimate the food supply chain and our economy.
📌 A Latino farmer asks Donald Trump who will do the hard jobs if he deports undocumented immigrants. This is what Trump said at the Univision town hall #LosLatinosPreguntan. Watch today at 10 PM ET/9C/7PAC on @univision, @ViX, and our digital platforms.

just talked to my dad. He is safe. He told me that 15 mins into his interview, Maduro stopped him & then forced him & his team into a dark room for 2.5 hours. He was then released without any of his belongings.
per @univision , @jorgeramosnews is currently detained by Maduro because he didn’t “like” the questions my dad was asking. They reportedly have confiscated all their electronics.

Don’t miss the larger story. In AZ young Latinos are pushing a historically red state blue. In WI, around 30K + Latinos voted early, compared to 2016– that was all powered by Latinas. Main reason why PA,GA,MI & NC are in play: latinos can be that margin of victory.

If, at this point, you are a Latino for Trump that believes that Trumpism sees you as an equal, as a worthy American, then the delusion is truly alarming.
Trump rally speaker: “And these Latinos, they love making babies too. Just know that. They do. They do. There’s no pulling out. They don’t do that. They come inside. Just like they did to our country.”.

Economy was #1 issue.Yet a majority of Black & Latinos had the moral clarity to not vote for Trump.What did those other 40%+ Latinos see in Trump? His economic message was deeply intertwined with racism, xenophobia,transphobia.His inroads go beyond the economy.

Thank you to everyone who tuned into the @MSNBC special looking into the apparent rightward shift among some Latino voters in South Texs. Mayra Flores’ race tells a story—turn out was low, but there r important lessons, hard truths and more questions than answers we must sit with.

👇🏼 The Latinx community is already making history. Over 8M of us have voted early, compared to 3.7M in 2016. That’s a product of the organizers on the ground & young voices that have led us forward.
El voto anticipado entre los latinos pasó de 3.7 a 8.2 millones según este análisis @NALEO. Al igual que @UCLAlatino proyectan una participación histórica, pero la gran noticia es el voto joven. La generación que creció con leyes como SB1070 llegó a las urnas a exigir cuentas.

no matter who you support right now, we can all agree that @JulianCastro has consistently pushed our party to be better, bolder &, more than anything, to remember those who are often forgotten in national stages. Donate so we can keep his voice in this race.
I’m extremely proud of the historic and bold campaign we have built together. But this is a critical moment— if my campaign can’t raise $800,000 by October 31st, my campaign will be silenced for good. Help us keep up the fight. DONATE now:

Ramaswamy:”My message to Illegal immigrants is this: We will return you to your country of origin.” Good message of unity to the over 5M undocumented essential workers, or the millions of immigrants that pay over 50B in annual taxes, or all the mixed- status families. #RNC2024.

A Democratic presidential nominee hasn't won Arizona since 1996. This change is due to the incredible organizing led by indigenous & Latinx communities on the ground. Not too long ago, Sheriff Joe Arpaio was running the streets-- those days are gone.

One of the big questions on my mind tonight was whether those inroads Trump made in 2020 with Latino voters were an anomaly or a sign of a deeper, bigger story. It’s too early to tell, but we do know that the Latino vote, as we knew it, has fundamentally changed.

Take exit polls with A LOT of caution, but the constant need from some Ds to downplay the real gains Trump made with Latinos is a reflection of the problem: at times Ds are their own worst enemy. Incapable of listening and seeing with curiosity, instead of baked in assumptions.

This is a big broken promise. One of the biggest contrasts @POTUS offered from Trump was a country that would welcome and protect immigrants & refugees. It was a clear vision, with a clear message. This order betrays the voters that voted for that country.

One thing to keep in mind as we see the Cuba coverage: Many of the Miami Cuban Americans that are demanding change in the island—rightly so— are the same constituents that voted for Trump, were against the BLM protests, and turned their backs on asylum seekers at the border.

It’s no coincidence that his first public appearance is by the wall —a symbol of hate, division & white supremacy. This only further incites the mob.
In his first public appearance since pro-Trump insurrectionists attacked the Capitol, President Trump is heading to Alamo, Texas, to tout the border wall. Analysts say it's an obvious attempt to try to rehabilitate his image when his legacy is at stake.

Trump’s anti-trans ads also worked bc they tapped into fear,resentment & DISGUST.Disgust is the driving force of dehumanization ( more so than anger & fear).There’s nothing “radical”/“woke” about embracing trans people if you simply believe they are human; yet disgust blinds many.
