DeSantis said under a DeSantis administration, people who cross into the United States illegally would end up “stone cold dead,” a promise he has repeated for weeks.

How is it that people are not calling him out on this? How the fuck can a Hispanic person vote for this Nazi?

What a “Christian” message.

Second generation (or more) descendants of immigrants often don't appreciate what their ancestors did. Just "Born in the USA dammit, it's mine".

Even many first generation latinos don't want further waves doing what they did.

Or, they don't even see the next immigrants as doing what they did, or being like they were. They might help specific friends and family follow along, but not those "teeming hordes over there".

the "I got mine, fuck you!" demographic is a lock for the Republicans.

A large portion of them say "I followed the rules and paid my fair share"

As the Democratic party is learning, "Hispanic" isn't a monolithic bloc. Mexicans aren't the same as Puerto Ricans aren't the same as Colombians aren't the same as Nicaraguans aren't the same as Cubans etc. Some of them hate other Latin nationalities almost as much as white American Conservatives hate all of them.

I hate Desantis as much as the next person, but he was talking about the cartels: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXEvjRt8uRg

It does leave room for ambiguity, but I also think OP's article's quote is very disingenuous. CNN is trash.
