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.

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.
