‘Oh, I’m Very Happy’: Latinos Living Along Southern Border Rave Over Trump’s Crackdown
Daily Caller via White House Wire ^ | July 30, 2025 | Jason Hopkins

Many Hispanic Americans living along the U.S.-Mexico border are voicing strong support for President Donald Trump’s handling of immigration enforcement, adding that they got exactly what they voted for.

In the 2024 presidential election, Trump managed to flip several border counties that had not voted for a Republican president in decades, and in one particular case, for more than a century. President Joe Biden’s mismanagement of the border was cited by members of these Latino communities as one of the defining reasons for this change, and Trump’s historic crackdown on illegal immigration has kept them satisfied with their choice.

“Oh, I’m very happy,” Perla Bazan, a lifelong resident of Starr County, Texas, told the Daily Caller News Foundation about Trump’s handling of immigration enforcement.

Starr County voted for Trump in the 2024 election, the first time the county had favored a Republican presidential candidate in 132 years. The last time a GOP presidential contender won the county was in 1892.

A mere 19% of voters in [Starr] county pulled the lever for Trump in 2016, which was a fairly typical result at the time. In 2020, that number exploded to 47%. Another four years later, Trump raked in 57% of the vote, beating then-Vice President Kamala Harris by double-digit margins.

I wonder how much of the Dim votes prior to 2024 was from rampant vote fraud. I believe the RNC Election Integrity Program is an unsung hero in Trump’s win.

This sentiment won’t be promoted by the MSM!

And Lara Trump was very much involved in that, IIRC. Certainly far more effective than Ronna McDaniel.

This IMMIGRANT is happy but would be a lot happier if many more of the illegal aliens were deported each day...

Say 100,000+ a day...

All 35 Million plus gone by next year...

Illegal alien anchor babies and all...

Legal Hispanics know that illegals are not here to improve their lives. They are here to rob Americans...and Americans to buy drugs, too.

Cesar Chavez actually formed armed groups to patrol the California-Mexico border to keep the illegals out.
