The president still has support from people such as Manuel Hernandez, an 80-year-old who has lived half his life in El Paso and voted for Trump in 2016.
“A lot of bad things are expressed against Latinos,” said Hernandez, speaking in Spanish. “But we don’t know if it’s this [that inspired the gunman] or not. There are a lot of supremacist groups, white supremacists, that don’t like minority groups — black people, Latinos. It’s not the fault of the president, because this has always been around, from way back in time.”…
A recent Telemundo poll, for example, found that a quarter of Texas Latinos support his reelection — a figure that mirrors his national approval rating among adult Hispanics, according to Gallup. That figure has remained largely constant since his election, with an occasional dip and rise again, suggesting that there is an immovable core of Latino voters who support him, albeit a clear minority.
“Those who haven’t been shaken by that are hardly going to be shaken by what happened” in El Paso, said Pablo Pinto, a professor and director of the Center for Public Policy at the University of Houston, referring to Trump’s past criticism of Hispanics. “People who had voted Republican will continue voting Republican and tend to buy into this rhetoric that getting into the country illegally shouldn’t be rewarded.”

getting into the country illegally shouldn’t be rewarded.”
The Washington Post thinks they should be rewarded???
The dirty little secret is....Legal immigrants hate illegals..
The more Trump screams there invaders the more votes he will get
No reason not to.
Hope they don’t buy into the msm lies about
By and large in my experience is Legal Immigrants want NO PART of the newer crop of fence jumpers. I have seen multiple city council meetings in California where they berate the city fathers about this and that they do not want them there and they are shown the door and told we don’t care
There HAS to be some kickback coming to them to subvert the law and their constituents so boldly
Follow the Money...
I’m sure many of the legal immigrants brought in to replace a dwindling American population have found many of the wetbacks living in their neighborhoods now (for the same reason - empty/abandoned neighborhoods) - and they want no part of it. The legal immigrants are paying taxes for their brethren who will never do so...
SO many of them have lived in leftist run (and ignored) shooting galleries that THEY know the truth
