I suspect you'll find a lot of people of Mexican ancestry who oppose these recent policy changes and want tighter borders.

That's a good point too because certain people assume all hispanics want open borders which isn't true at all. The only reason Silvestre Reyes become well known and elected to Congress because he put Operation Blockade and Operation Hold the Line into place, he was viewed as tough on illegal immigration and his mostly hispanic (of Mexican ancestry no less) region respected him for it.
