Understanding Latino Support for Donald Trump

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

64% : The most eye-popping results were in Miami-Dade County and in southern Texas, where Trump won almost every county along the Mexican border.
58% : Because of everything I've learned from him, it is easy for me to believe Latinos who say they voted for Trump because Democrats haven't always delivered on their promises of protection and prosperity.
40% : At forty-six per cent -- a fourteen-percentage-point increase from 2020 -- Trump beat George W. Bush's record by at least two points, and perhaps as many as six.
39% : But I know this: he worked hard for a living, never aspired to be white (he was several shades darker than I am), felt let down by the institution he worked for, and voted for every Republican candidate from Reagan to Trump, some of whom I and other liberals have called racist, or at least indifferent to the concerns of nonwhite Americans.
34% : It's far from certain that Trump will do it, either -- but many Latinos have grown desperate enough to give him a shot.
32% : On Joy Reid's MSNBC show, the host acknowledged that a majority of Gen X voters and white women sided with Trump, but she told Latino men, "You own everything that happens to your mixed-status families, and to your wives, sisters, and abuelas from here on in."
31% : The journalist Paola Ramos tweeted that the inroads Trump made with Latinos weren't just about the economy but were also "intertwined with racism, xenophobia, transphobia.
