Here is a link to a blog with the WSJ article.

“The cultural worries” about whether Latinos “are going to be like us are really important,” says Mr. Popkin. One reason he believes Mr. Trump drew more support among the less-educated was that college graduates have interacted more with people of different cultures.

Well, the article hit the mark in some areas, not so much in others. This, for example. Assuming that people must be less-educated in order to be against illegal immigration (which is the unstated assumption of this quote) falls firmly in the realm of jumping to conclusions. There are all kinds of reasons to oppose illegal immigration, some of which are highly intellectual and require a sophisticated vocabulary to express. The question is not whether we can accept Latino culture (anyone who grew up in CA is quite familiar with the culture)--the question is whether we want the border to be wide open and for the US to become more like Mexico, with the pollution, crime, and poverty.

I think that Trump voters include all demographics.

“One of Mr. Popkin’s favorite examples of how “low-information voters” use “cues” to form logical conclusions is Gerald Ford’s eating an unshucked tamale, which signaled to many Latino voters that the president didn’t understand their culture. History repeated as farce this week when Mr. Trump on Cinco de Mayo tweeted a photo of himself eating a taco bowl: “The best taco bowls are made in Trump Tower Grill. I love Hispanics!””

One was ignorance. The other was flipping you the finger. And you cant tell the difference.
