The MAGA Hispanic community feels resentment towards recent immigrants; they feel that these migrants are getting a ton of help and benefits (they’re not) that they themselves never received when they (or their parents) arrived. They especially feel a lot of resentment towards migrants who entered illegally.

Obviously the undocumented didn’t vote, so it means the naturalized and US born latinos went MAGA. Very disappointing. They’ll never be part of the MAGA inner circle.

This is Miami, where most of the immigrants are Cuban. They have taken the lion's share of help and benefits and still do so through the Cuban Adjustment Act. No immigrants have had the red carpet rolled out for them like Cubans.

Noone hates Miami Cubans more than Puerto Ricans in my experience.

IIRC Puerto Ricans in miami got displaced from their neighborhoods and shit on when the Cuban Adjustment Act went into effect. They ended up moving north to Orlando/Tampa/New York.

Had an older Puerto Rican man who worked for me years ago who would spit nails anytime Cubans and their benefits got brought up.

You make a good point here. While this is disappointing I don't see how this a leopards eating faces scenario? These aren't the people who will be deported.

Ya, that’s the point I was getting at, latinos are not a monolith, and plenty of them are willing to pull up the ladder behind them. These are not my hermanos.

Yup this.
I'm leaning left, it's disturbing to see people here are clueless why Hispanic voting for Trump.
While GOP is exaggerating the issue, the issue were real, we DO have illegal migrant issue, and it's creating severe social friction especially in Hispanic community because that's where the illegal migrant were staying.
They didn't stay in White, Black or Asian community.

Meanwhile Democrat ignoring the issue under the banner "We are the country of immigrants".

Before anyone said, but Democrats do this and that !
No they didn't, optics matter.

From the perspective of voters, a party who trying to do something is much better than the a party that do nothing.

Are you saying that illegal immigrants from Mexico, Central & South America were mainly living amongst the Cuban legal immigrants? Why is that, & if so, how exactly were they being effected negatively by the illegals? Is it simply that some of them (obviously not all) could get a few thing like food assistance, while the legal Cubans could not? So they literally can't stand seeing anyone other than themselves getting any kind of assistance? Didn't Cubans get assistance? I'm legitimately asking cuz I don't know much about the whole Cuban immigration stuff from the past, other than them hating "communism."

I never said about they living mainly on Cuban.
I said they live in Hispanic community.
It's much easier to hide among the South America descendants than black, white and Asian.
You didn't see ICE raiding Black, Asian neighborhood, let alone White neighborhood.

The social friction is because job competition, the illegal willing to work at much lower rate. These community were not jealous of the handout, but try to be in their position. When you cut off people of their livelyhood, all hell break loose.

These people didn't give a shit about LGBTQ, or Abortion rights, they will fly any direction (not opposed, not supporting).
Again, try to be in their position, all they hear from Democrats is that two issue, which they don't care.
What they care is their job, their future.
They worried the growing number of illegal immigrants will took their job.
They have bill to pay.

See how Hispanic overwhelmingly vote for Trump ?
They know Trump is not a good person, everybody fucking knew Trump is not a decent guy, cheater, liars, pornstar fucker blah blah blah...but he's at least talk about their fear and issue.

Hispanics did NOT overwhelmingly vote for trump; that's a lie: https://unidosus.org/press-releases/hispanic-voters-back-harris-over-trump-by-a-62-37-margin-cite-economic-concerns-as-top-priorities/

He did increase his percentage amongst Latino men. Mostly trump won overall because literally millions did NOT VOTE that had previously voted in 2020.

Same shit.
The fact remains the same.
Latino voting for Trump.
It's wasn't racism.
Look my history post, you think I'm right wing ? But at the very least I acknowledge there's issue that Democrat ignore (until it was too late).
