“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.

Can someone please point me to a ‘latino culture’ that is better in any way to traditional American middle class culture? Any, even one.
Argentina? Chile? Mexico? Peru? Imploding Venezeula? Cuba? Puerto Rico? Columbia? El Salvador? Guatemala? New Mexico?
Where? Where -exactly- is this latino culture I am supposed to admire and want to move towards in America?

It is do insulting more do to the writer. Worris about people becoming like us?

Who’s bring ignorant here?

We have a nation with borders language and culture. You don’t want to assimilate, abide by our laws? Go somewhere else.

But liberals, like this ignorant writer, despise this country. The implication is that people who are against this active invasion are bad people for loving the United States

In my little family we have many college degrees fluency in German, Korean and Chinese and have lived in different states and countries, Asian and European including a city here which has been invaded

This writer has it backward because he has done no investigating. The sentiment shared by weak Americans is how are the Americans going to assimilate to the Mexican culture, borders and language. I was told yesterday, by people whom I supervise, to learn Spanish

How many Americans around me join them in telling me I’m a bigot if I tell them how outrageously inappropriate they are get back to work

We actually have the Secure Border Act -2006. It was defunded (led by Kay Baily Hutchinson). Americans want and deserve a sovereign nation. Globalist and cheap-labor express want it open.

Understand that the viewpoint of the USCD prof is from an older mindset and democrat POV. He is trying to rationalize why they can no longer control the voter’s minds. The internet and social media allows the average guy to be much more informed with some first hand information that is not aligned with the MSM.

Californians (legal) of Mexican descent are supporting Trump in large numbers. And they are the ones being attacked the very worst by illegals at Trump rallies.
