The White passing Latinos think they are better than their darker skin fellow Latinos. They want to take advantage of White privilege that we know exist.
What this interview failed to address is the difference between the various Latino blocks. Cubans, Venezuelans, Dominicans, Puertorricans, Mexicans do not vote the same. Their histories and relations with dictators, communism, racism, crime, poverty can be very different and unique and that is reflected in their priorities and eventually in their voting decisions and beliefs. To assume that all Latinos will and must support the Democrats is foolish. The Dems may actually represent the opposite of what a Latino block wants. Clear example is the Cubans who reject any hint of leftism after the Castro debacle.
@@lewest7317I was a life long democrat from California. The democrats are no longer the party of the Kennedy family. They have embraced a far left radical agenda and ideology on every issue. I am voting for the party that has common sense and truly loves America. Democrats seek to control.
Can’t like this comment more. Exactly! As a Venezuelan the downright repulsion I have towards anything remotely left because of Chavismo and socialism will always push towards the right.
She's a white washed lati-gringa that has no idea how Latin America works. All her concepts of being Latino are from American sociology courses in some urban college. She's the reason Latinos and Black men are sick and tired of wokeness and mainstream liberalism. It's disgusting at this point.
In order to have a healthy democracy, we must have an educated, informed and critical thinking voters. This is the primary reason why republicans defund our education system and project 2025 plan to eliminate education department.😢.
My very wise father always said that Mexican Americans didn't progress because the ones who reached the top stepped on the ones below, instead of offering their hands to pull them up.
A lot of white and black Americans tend to put latinos in one racial category, without realizing there are black, brown and white latinos, and sometimes a mix of all three. There is also lots of racism and xenophobia within the Latino community, with white or even brown Latinos being extremely racist against black Latinos. I currently live in Colombia and many Colombians are extremely xenophobic against Venezuelans, just as bad (or worse) as Trumpers are against Latino immigrants in general. Considering how a significant percentage of people in Latin American countries easily give in to machismo culture, and they are often extremely religious (catholic) and ultraconservative, on top of the fact that racism and xenophobia are quite normal in Latin America (sometimes even worse than in the US), I’m not surprised at all that so many Latinos in the US (and in Latin America too) passionately support a “strongman” like Trump.
@@bebo2781 what a bunch of BS. All countries have their own share of macho culture. And stop that thing about being “Latino”. We are hispanoamericanos, learn your history.
God, you are sooo on target. The tragedy is, many of these people are ignorant of Social Sciences (Econ, History, Sociology, Government, etc). They cant see how all of that crap burdened or broke were they just came from! Nor do they realize they are re-creating the same crappy structures. This isn't racist, its just how people everywhere are. Quick to take on myth, slow to apply wisdom.
Ugh 😑 so deeply depressing. The part that gets me the most is the Anti Black racism. As a Jamaican immigrant with family in south Florida I’ve heard of the treatment of black immigrants by the Cuban community there.
I am Black American but very racially ambiguous due to my mother being Creole from Louisiana and Gullah from South Carolina. My father is Cuban/Puerto Rican. Latinos are racist. There I said it. The things that I've heard said by Latinos who clearly have majority African descent are simply disgusting.
I'm not going to say all Cubans are racist but you will experience it in South Florida, unfortunately. I have met great Cuban people but just like any culture racism exist.
That is the number 1 problem in United state. They don’t now what they are only the color of their skins. 90% of European descent are mix way before they enter to this continent. Now centro America and sur America have the same problem they don’t now what they are.
@@Beatlearl no one contends that culture and race are not synonymous, but my point was that ethnicity, which denotes a cultural group, is not a racial group. I think that’s where the confusion lies. People understand what culture is, they don’t always understand what ethnicity is (which is pretty much the same). So you’re not wrong, but I think the race/ethnicity conflation is what confuses people the most.
The Association of German National Jews (German: Verband nationaldeutscher Juden) was a German Jewish organization during the Weimar Republic and the early years of Nazi Germany that eventually came out in support of Adolf Hitler. It primarily attracted members from the anticommunist middle class, small business owners, self-employed professionals such as physicians and lawyers, national conservatives, and nationalist World War I veterans, many of whom believed that Nazi antisemitism was only a rhetorical tool used to "stir up the masses."
I left my country Dublin Ireland some time ago. I have lived in London UK , Milan Italy ,now I live in Barcelona Spain . I will ALWAYS be Irish and VERY proud of being Irish. I will NEVER understand people who turn their back on their heritage.
I think they dynamic in the Americas is different. Because Latinos in the US are willful immigrants and hold traditional Christian values, they more readily assume American conservative ideology, With Ireland(and correct me if I'm wrong) there is a strong identity due to subjugation by the British. My best mate is from Northern Ireland and his earliest memories were of the British military raiding his family farm looking for IRA weapons caches. I'm African American and as I get older with a few decades of life experience, and study western philosophy for my masters degree, the more I understand just how anti-Black the fabric of America really is. And I was all in on American patriotism, wanted to work for the state department spreading democracy across the world. But I see now. It took me a while to get here, but I see.
@@jdotsalter910 Your professor is steering you wrong. USA needs not spread democracy anywhere, as we are not a democracy. How much is NATO and the ukraine sending USA for Hurricane Helene aid?
@@jdotsalter910Aren’t African Americans also a group that holds traditional Christian values?? Your religion theory for Latinos doesn’t work here. A much more tenable explanation for them turning far right is their education level. It is perhaps lower. There’s been countless published social science that confirms the causation of education levels to the political identity of a person. The higher the education level, the more likely they vote blue. When they survey the group with masters the numbers lean more liberal and the group with PhD, there were hardly any who vote red. This is perhaps why you don’t see Asian Americans and first generation Africans in America who tend to be more highly educated leaning right.
@@jdotsalter910Your theory doesn’t hold because African Americans are even more religious Christians. Latinos are turning far right because the tendency to vote liberal correlates to education level. Their education level is much lower than US average. That’s why we see Asian American and highly educated first generation African in US almost always leaning liberal.
The one thing that unites and is common among all these various groups that support Trump is their hatred for other groups who they see as different to them.
I don't agree with the author's perspective on Isabel. Her lens is skewed and flawed through identity politics and missed an opportunity to really understand her point of view. Paola has a very simplistic view.
@@lindanolasco3918 I totally agree with you. That is the reason why all mainstream media is in shock that so many Hispanic voted against the media's expectations. Instead of trying to learn by listening, they are insulting the people they don't understand and don't agree with.

Amazing interview. A lot of us Polynesians have parents that are glued to Fox News and are Trump supporters and we’re scratching our heads. I cannot repeat what my Mom has said, but you hit the nail on the head. We don’t want to admit how racist our immigrant parents are. I don’t understand it, but it’s a thing.
@@vickihiggins1580 Maybe the numerous Trump supporters are familiar with Marxism & Fascism and want no part of it. Must be a lot of wisdom in those beautiful islands, pay attention.
That's the problem, isn't it? Buying into either Fox or CNN/MSNBC propaganda. Not telling you how to vote but you can open your eyes, watch your local news (they're quite neutral) and make your own judgement. Do you feel safe, can you get jobs fairly on the basis of your competency, are your children's schools educating your children? Don't get fooled by the "We stand with Asians against hate" group. The same group who pretends to be your friend put out Prop 16 in the 2020 to end equal opportunity.
Indian here living in Australia and I agree, this is definitely 'a thing' where our parents who brought us here did a great job of assimilating, almost too well to the point where they are very right leaning and anti-immigration. It's as though they want mercy for migrating here but don't want others to enjoy the spoils of the new life and want to hold and enjoy elevated status and rubbing it in the faces of the people they left behind, it's so weird.
Great interview. Paola does an amazing job explaining how so many Latino MAGA followers came to be with facts and examples. THIS is great journalism. Bravo, Paola. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
As a Puerto Rican (island born and raised 1st gen), Anglos really are not as aware of the culture of colorism and self-hatred among Hispanics. Specifically Mexican Americans in Texas, oof.
Bullshit the anglos know especially the ones in power even blacks know this. If your Hispanic I wouldn't trust any race especially white or black Americans they try to gang up on hispanics in the workplace just do your best to navigate this racialized society. I would try to bridge gaps between other Hispanics. Puerto Ricans Mexicans Dominicans central Americans etc.
@@PatrickGarcia-m8x We're human, stop this race bs. It's division coming form the top, the establishment WANTS people focused and divided on race. We are all children of God, we all bleed red and we all want to belong, we all want to love. It is racists driving this rhetoric on race, again to divide and conquer
Sadly, this is not shocking. As a Latino, it cannot be overstated how deeply ingrained racism is in the psyche of many Latinos. You combine the history of colonialism, the generational distance between younger Latino Americans and their migrant ancestors who more directly experienced American xenophobia, and a sense of cultural machismo and it’s sadly not shocking that a large segment of Latino Americans have gravitated towards the far right fringes of the American body politic.
k, I had a cuban teacher who spoke at length about what she and her family went through to come to the US. Under trump, they would not be accepted. They would have been sent back to their country to die as traitors. Is it that latinos are more comfortable under a dictatorship and that is why they lean right? It is a mistake leading only to the same thing that you fled your country for.
As a Latino, you shouldn't be surprised there are tons of extremely Christian Right Wing Latinos. Latinos are often misinterpreted as ALL being "Natives" or the oppressed populace that European conquistadors put underneath their big, shiny black boots since the late 1400s, when they first landed on islands in the Western Hemisphere. But, in reality, you have "Latinos" descended from the most extremely & fascist Right Wing Portuguese, Spaniards, Italians, Germans, French, Dutch, and English people... from the US, to Cuba, to Central America, all the way to Argentina and Brazil... The BULK of the most racist Nazis and Fascists from Europe ESCAPED to the Northern & Southern Hemispheres, in the Americas, from WW1 to post-WW2. They also are in Australia and New Zealand... South Africa and the rest of Africa, in the open and in highly armed military compounded neighborhoods... Nick Fuentes, Enrique Tarrio, the Castro brothers, the Ortega brothers, 99.9% of the autocrats from Mexico through Central America, to all of South America... THESE ARE DESCENDED from Right Wing, Christian Fascists and Nazis.... from EUROPE. These Right Wing "Latinos" (many in the various KKK, Nazi/Neo Nazi and Fascist groups) are opposed to Communists... opposed to Socialists ... opposed to Progressives.... opposed to Feminists ... opposed to non-Christians... opposed to Natives... opposed to Asians... opposed to Blacks, and ESPECIALLY OPPOSED TO Jews.... opposed to Liberals & Liberalism & WESTERN LIBERAL DEMOCRACY... opposed to multi-culturalism & 21st century diversity (outside of Right Wring European traditions and beliefs and practices).... although TODAY they accept a few small percentages of psychologically, ideologically twisted Blacks, Asians, women et al who AGREE WITH THEM, that society was better in the early 1900s, the 1800s, the 1700s, etc.....twisted Blacks and Asians like Clarence Thomas and that Black Nazi guy running for governor of North Carolina, who also wouldn't mind owning a few Blacks slaves, today, if Slavery were to return...
I think the racist here is you. I'm latino myself, and I'm not obsessed with race the way white 'liberals', and you, seem to be. How can one be so blind to their bias? Your own projections show it so clearly...
@@monkeeseemonkeedoo3745as a latino myself I agree with him, “el peor enemigo de un latino en usa es otro latino” latinos have internalized racism and some of them are ashamed of their roots
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Great interview and praise to Paola for bringing this issue to the spotlight.More needs to be said on the topic of the internal racism in our Latino communities.
he never said that you fool Your comment, like most of these comments, is deeply ignorant. My guess is you are a middle class white American liberal? what we call baizou…. I will make a few points. You can choose to ignore and continue to wallow in your own ignorance. Firstly the white YES WHITE Hispanic woman being interviewed is a socialist. In Latin America, most of the most abusive communist and socialists were WHITE. Most Cubans were FLEEING a white champagne socialist. They want freedom, LESS govt involvement and that is what MAGA offers. You fools can deny this and just attribute it to racism or ignorance, but the reality is, Latino voters are not a monolith. And tot he fools that claim Latinos should want the sort of programs the Dems offer. Latinos understand that more public funding for education does NOT equal better education They also don't like being told they MUST take a vaccine the govt mandates, while simultaneously being told my body my choice. Then there are the wars. In case you have not noticed, the Dems are now the party of foreign intervention. Lastly latinos were beaten down by censorship and draconian laws that erased free speech under men like Castro etc. The Democratic Party is the party of censorship. Political correctness was a left wing ideology we all experienced in Eastern Bloc nations. It is pretty pathetic you all attribute Latino conservativism to white supremacy and ignorance. The leader of the Proud Boys was in face a BLACK CUBAN!! But you will not heed my words and just attribute my opinion to my being a "Russian Bot" Y'all are as predictable as you are ignorant and RACIST.
People need to stop speaking of Latinos and Hispanics a racial or ethnic group, they're not. Latinos are people of various racial, ethnic backgrounds and I speak for myself as someone coming from the Latin American region.
I’m sure that’s going to make all the difference to trump and his allies regarding what they have planned in their project 2025 manifesto for Latinos & Hispanics which will be 20 times worse than what & how he treated Latinos & Hispanics when he was president the first time and what he has said since.
I am also surprised that the comments fail to address the huge and critical differences between different Latino blocks. The Mexicans in Houston have little in common with the Cubans in Miami or the Dominicans in The Bronx. Seems that the assumption here is that all Latinos are essentially the same and thus, they should all vote for the Democrats. That's exactly why they are losing the Latino vote. Because they fail to understand the complex dynamics of each ethnicity.
@lewest7317 to be fair the reason Republicans are wining these voting blocks is because they're advertising in spanish while democrats don't even try. They all speak spanish that's what they have in common, and probably don't love the inflation of the last few years. Abortion and reproductive rights are also less of a factor. Also they tend to be religious. These are generalatzions to why Republicans are gaining the latino vote
A lot of people in Internet land do not know that legal naturalized Mexican people were deported back during the Great depression repatriated when they were actually US citizens that's horrible

In my Latino circle, most don't support Trump due to concerns about his actions and policies. It's vital for everyone to stay informed and make thoughtful, informed choices. 💙 🇺🇸
wao...I'm a Democrat and she's completely wrong on this. A lot of Hispanics/Latinos refused to embrace this binary-color culture that America promotes and that to us feels like America is frozen in time of the 1950s. To those of us that come from very diverse societies (because "el mestizaje") it feels weird that America can't move beyond black and white. It surprises me that she fails to acknowledge that. Somehow after 50+ years America can't seem to grow out of the black and white mentality. It will take time before the United States sees itself as a mixed-race nation.

I worry about my SSI benefits, my family and really all families. How far down will this White deportation go? As I have grown up here and my family.
@@slickricky55 that is what democrats want to make you think and fear. But if you were born here, you are American, period. The Constitution protects your citizenship rights. Second, Trump doesn't want to deport all latinos that is nonsense and a lie, not even all the illegal latinos (that's not doable) but the mainstream media wants you to believe that you have to live afraid of that. For your own good stop listening to them. Also, even if you weren't born here, if you are legally here and respect the law of the land, you'll be fine. One more thing, you already lived through a Trump's presidency, look at how did it go, it wasn't worse than Biden's administration. Be free sir. Live in peace.
She is so right in describing the struggles that Latinos have about their own racial identity. Last week, I spent four hours listening to my Brasilians neighbors, who I invited over for dinner, about how white they are and how incredibly 100% percent European they are. However, I couldn't help laughing when they also admitted that when they lived in Paris, french people did not think of them as white.
Upsurd! Only Americans think Latinos are anything else than white. I am from Europe and I always thought of latinos as white, Brasilians? Of course white. Of course mixed race with the local indigenous population etc, but never did we here think of them than any different than the difference between scandinavians and italians!! America is so freaking obsessed with race they keep inventing new races and new identities all the time. 🤦🏻♀️ French people not treating non-french the same? Big news! One of the most famously „proud” nations to of Europe that look down at anyone non-French, other Europeans too! But that’s not about „not-white”, only Amerivsns are so obsessed with colour and they are infecting the whole world with it!!! Here in Europe we never think of poeple as being a different race just becuase they have darker hair or skintone, just think of Spanish or Italian people vs. Polish or Latvian? Are we different races???!!! Syop spreading your problems to the whole world, America. Are Greeks not white? Are Turks not-white? Are even Indian people not white? I alwyas was tought we are all the same race, with regional differences and that’s how you should start thinkint too. Creating a latino „race” just because they are non blonde like the ancestors of English/Itish/German is freaking insane. It’s a culture difference not RACE!
@@aglobackwards Indeed, these people are racist, and too stupid and in denial to even recognize that part of themselves... This world is so frustrating
What a great guest. Thank you for the highly informative interview. I've been appalled at my immediate family taking such curious stances on topics that I didn't know they were passionate about. How did my family become against "Black Lives Mattter"? How did they come to believe that Democrats and their candidates kill babies up to and even after 9 months? This is coming from the church. The example Paola gave about a pastor saying 'don't listen to the news, listen to me/the church' is definitely spot on. Such strange times in which we live. The church backs lies, lying candidates and racism and instead of working to free their hearts and souls of their people they urge them to vote against their own good/the truth.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts! We should draw our information from a variety of sources. To not do so seals us in a echo chamber with limited information...and possibly, much of it false. I found myself on X today reading disinformation about President Biden steering FEMA funds to migrants. That's just not true. But the lie gets repeated and repeated and folks come to believe that the lie is the truth. Sometimes lies are uttered on purpose as Vance himself confirmed during a media interview. Specifically, he "copped" to saying that he spread the vile rumor about Haitians in order to get people thinking about issues with migration. There's a history of cooperation and rivalry between African-Americans and Latinos. As an African-American, I'm proud of my community's quest for equal treatment that I believe has benefitted not just my community, but women and other communities of color. I'm aware of the Chicano rights movement and leaders, a believe that Latinos in America have much to be proud of. Per your note, it's disheartening that some of the Latino community opposed black activism to decry police violence and systematic racism (see Carol Anderson's excellent remarks about the "kindling" that led to the Ferguson, MO riots).
Well, sorry, but it turned out that BLM was nothing but a race-baiting extortion scam - how many mansions do those two 'Marxist' women now own? As for 'up to and even after 9 months,' according to ABC News (a bastion of liberal bias, by the way) these are the States with "no restrictions on abortions based on gestational limits" : MN, OR, CO, NM, AK, MI, DC, VT, MD. NJ.

@Boconnor401. Initially. Mexico was already behind many other nations. The Spanish enforced something similar to the tributary system the Mexikah had. Depriving Indigenous Americans of wealth and resources. This wealth and resources fueled Europes economy, particularly western Europe.
What a great discussion. This provides a great examination of white supremacy's widespread influence in the electorate's psyche. I hope people are listening well.
Blah, blah, blah, White supremacy, blah, blah, blah. Only fools are misled by the media lies and misdirection; now let's hear you condemn all the Black Trump supporters. By the way, when 'white' refers to a group - it's capitalized, just like 'Black.' Are you able to even question the Leftist propaganda, indoctrination, and cultural Balkanization you've been manipulated by?
If your quest for absolution and piety leads you to endorse fast-track legal status for hundreds of thousands of poor people (people made poor by US sanctions or neoliberal globalist capitalism) then you will be mad when people oppose your religion that is wrecking American communities but you'll be happy when people in expensive suits on TV tell you that you're a good person.
Hola Hector. Respectfully. What heritage are you referring to? The Spanish (from Spain) heritage? The roots of a Argentinian, Peruvian, Cuban or Mexican, do you think are the same? Did they go through the same struggles including racial blending and slavery? After more than 500 years of the Spanish foundation, don't you think the differences are too many to see the Latinos as one monolithic block? A block that should think and vote one way?
Great Interview!! I'll definitely pick-up Paola Ramos' book on Audible or Kindle. Coming from a Puerto Rican, Evanglical, and Afro Latino back ground, Paola details exactly what a lot of my family are thinking when they vote MAGA. Internalized (and externalized) racism, an "us versus them" mentality, and listening to their pastors before listening to scientists/doctors. I've seen and experienced it all. Can't wait to dive into her book at this pivital time. It may even help me change some minds 29 days before the election.
Hi Carlos. It can get complicated and goes beyond politics. If you and your relatives are Evangelical you will need to address the fact that the Dems support abortion (extreme in some cases), LGBTQ causes, reduced control by parents on children's upbringing, sex changing surgeries in children, lesser safety with weaker law enforcement. Some of these issues are strongly against Christian values and beliefs. In this case a vote for Trump is not a vote for MAGA, but a vote for a more "conservative" style of government. Not every Trump voter is a MAGA cultist, many are just voting against liberalism and a weak Biden-Harris/Walz ticket.
The support of Trump from evangelicals begs the question; With everything you've been taught about right and wrong, good and bad, how to treat others; How and why would you support someone like Donald Trump?
As evangelical my answer is that I am voting for policies; based on right and wrong I understand abortion as a l wrong and so I vote for the candidate that protects life. I couldn't vote for the candidate that runs in promoting abortion up to the third trimester. There are other factors that bring my vote to the red side as well, like the use given to my taxes, etc. This is my honest answer to your honest question.
@@miriam450 While your answer may be honest, it's based upon the lies you believe about abortion. Who told you that abortions occurs in the third trimester? Do you understand that women die in pregnancy? Do you understand that the red side as you call it, don't give a rats butt about babies and children after they're born, otherwise they wouldn't be voting against every initiative or bill designed to keep them fed and healthy, physically and mentally? Do you know the red side rather give your tax dollars to millionaires and billionaires than to families with babies? Do you know that V.P. Harris will make sure that families with children will benefit from the taxes that the aforementioned owes? Do you know that you rather vote for a white supremacist that has said that he will give immunity to police that kills black people because he will reinstate stop and frisk; That means black men, women and children? As an evangelical, you're ok not only with what I mentioned but the fact that the white supremacist leader attempted a coup based upon his own lies that resulted in people dying? Are you really concerned about life or are you being woefully ignorant and disingenuous about what you really believe?
@@miriam450 I had another answer that I had typed out, but rather than wasting my breath, I will say that you need to learn because I don't know who you listen to, but you need to stop listening to them. Read on your own.
Paola has been exposing the dynamics in the Latin voters, and i sure hope the Democratic Party sought her out and listened to her, because she sure knows! She deserves a platform like MSNBC to have a show every weekend!
To all Hispanic, Polynesian Trump Voters: I am really happy that you can enjoy a great life. I also hope that you or your family members will never need a good publicly funded education, social security, health insurance, abortion rules, Medicare and maybe later natural disaster relief (climate). To the Hurricane disaster victims: DT wanted to cut the FEMA funding. There are many other democratic countries in the world that offer all of this (I had to travel a lot for work). It seems that some have never heard or understood what DT said.

I compliment Paola Ramos on her eloquent, descriptive, nonjudgmental answers to the interviewer's questions. As a third generation, half Italian, I've always retained a pride and loyalty to Italy and other Italians. Why is this not the case for these Latinos? It's quite obvious that Trump's clearly ostensible display of loyalty to Latinos is self-serving and beguiling as demonstrated by his deprecating actions toward them in the past. Why don't Latinos have more nationality loyalty than to be mislead by Trump's very obvious political ploy and hold him accountable for who he really is? In comparing the two candidate's records, it's clear which one offers a more wholesome future for all ethnic groups.
Well they're not, and never will be and will always be seen as perpetual foreigners unlike natives, black Americans, and whites whose families have been here for centuries.
In Mexico, the racism exists as well. Go to their higher end restaurants. The waiting staff are always fair skinned, indigenous and European mestizos while the street vendors are mostly of pure indigenous descent.
"Latinos" are not a monolithic group, is tiring this non-sense of colorism, trying to push that American agenda. Ms. Ramos, we know who you are and your agenda.
Again Isabel the hair shop owner in the bronx is a racist. Definition showing prejudice, discrimination or antagonism against a person or group on the basis of their membership in a particular raicial or ethnic group. She defines herself as latino but she is described as black of Dominican heritage. That is my point if you are a trump supporter you are racist and that draws you to him because his entire campaign has always been about racism.
@@dlinder1640 You are missing the whole point. People are drawn to Trump because his policies work. Ramos is an extreme leftist that supports the BLM organization. She has zero credibility in my book.
Of course they will turn out for trump, people who lack self respect!! It’s pathetic!! After all the insults and disrespect that man has shown them. It’s giving “yikes”
How about Biden who said. You are not black if you don't vote for me. And remember when Harris was running for president and was debating Biden? She called him a racist cuz he opposed school integration when she was in school.
@@mariselacamacho7620 Whataboutism is the refuge of the person who has already lost their argument. Harris never called Biden a racist. She criticized Biden on certain topics related to race during a debate in June 2019, but she prefaced those remarks with “I do not believe you are a racist.” Fact checking is your friend.
Thank you... I'm so heartbroken and disappointed when I hear a Latino voting for trump, as a fighter for Latinos for 60 plus years I feel betrayed by them now. So I must remember not all Latinos has lost their minds and it shows just how easily people can get sucked into trump cult.
you are therefore ignorant Your comment, like most of these comments, is deeply ignorant. My guess is you are a middle class white American liberal? what we call baizou…. I will make a few points. You can choose to ignore and continue to wallow in your own ignorance. Firstly the white YES WHITE Hispanic woman being interviewed is a socialist. In Latin America, most of the most abusive communist and socialists were WHITE. Most Cubans were FLEEING a white champagne socialist. They want freedom, LESS govt involvement and that is what MAGA offers. You fools can deny this and just attribute it to racism or ignorance, but the reality is, Latino voters are not a monolith. And tot he fools that claim Latinos should want the sort of programs the Dems offer. Latinos understand that more public funding for education does NOT equal better education They also don't like being told they MUST take a vaccine the govt mandates, while simultaneously being told my body my choice.

It’s wild to me because there is a strong distaste for Catholicism in the evangelical world in which I grew up, and the white evangelicals I grew up around viewed it as a cult, yet many Latino immigrants are now replenishing the numbers of white evangelicals since they are used to coming from countries where the church is interwoven with the state. I cannot speak to the experience of those from countries with conflict and I understand that there may be legitimate reasons to dislike Democrats, but it still seems so disingenuous that the community in which I grew up, which contains people who have directly expressed fear to me of white people becoming the minority, are now suddenly accepting of a community they actively disliked for years. It’s hypocrisy at its finest.
This is the first time I’ve heard anyone put into words how I perceive the politics of many Hispanics here in Miami.-there is tendency to be anti immigrant (powerful AM radio helps).
Yes. At the end of the day, Hispanics are white people who speak Spanish or Portuguese. They are European descendants just like the American whites. In Miami, mostly the white ones are the ones who made it out of Cuba.
Well there is also the country they immigrated from factor in that population. In Miami there are a lot of Cubans, who are more prone than other Hispanics to being right wingers. The reason is due to many of them escaping Castro, who fought to give more rights to Black and Brown Cubans. And in doing so, took a lot of wealth away from that group (whiter looking Cubans). You ever notice how more of the Cuban Americans are less Black (the ones not in professional baseball)? It's because the poor didn't all come to America, while a lot of fairer skinned Cubans did after getting their wealth taken away. That's compounded with who they're surrounded by in America too and the politics of the majority in the area. There are more right wingers in Florida than areas like California. On the other hand, in Mexico, more poor people tended to immigrate to America. The richer Mexicans still live in Mexico for they had no reason to leave, and the Mexicans that had their wealth taken away by revolutionaries happened in the 1800s to early 1900s. They stayed in Mexico for the time being and didn't have the recency bias of socialism=bad, compared to the Cubans who dealt with Castro in the 1950s. My family is a good example of this. From my mom's side, they are fairer skin and we can trace our ancestry back to the 1700s. This is only possible for people who had more wealth. They had their wealth stolen by revolutionaries in the 1800s and for good reason. They most likely gained that wealth at the expense of the less fortunate. And so they stayed in Mexico, as equally poor for decades until they decided to migrate as farmers picking fruits. Because of that they don't have any bad feelings towards socialism or communism. That negative sentiment died out as it was from 60-80 years ago before they immigrated (they immigrated in the 40s). Hence you see more support for Democrats who do a better job of not scapegoating Mexican American migrants. So Mexican America right wingers (fewer in numbers), tend to choose that due to right wingers pushing christianity as a focal point in campaigns. By invoking abortions, they can capture a large amount of Christian (not Catholic) fundamentalists. Hence why a generic "Latino" voting block doesn't make much sense. There is more nuance and if anything it makes more sense to categorize which hispanics immigrated from where as a voting block.
It depends on the generation or wave. Many from the first wave of Cubans after the Revolution in the 1950s were people with financial resources, prior business experience and academic credentials. They established what today is The Greater Miami and expanded to Tampa etc. The next waves had no money and many were criminals (Marielitos). So, first wave Cubans and their descendants may treat immigrants including poor Cubans, badly.

If you're not a bot, please do the research and you'll see you've been lied to by the WSJ and the other mainstream media. Trump has repeatedly condemned that '2025 Report,' and the few authors who were once associated with him left because they didn't consider him radical enough.

Trying to put Latinos in a box and telling them how to vote based on race is so racist itself. People make their own decision looking at different issues that are important for them.
No disrespect intended, but your use of the word racist is inaccurate here. As an African-American, I'm really surprised and disappointed by the rightward drift of some Latinos. I can completely understand thinking for oneself...I think that's the hallmark of a strong democracy. It mystifies me to hear folks talking like this is any old kind of election when there's a person on the ballot who tried to engineer a coup and who continues to spread disinformation about our election system despite multiple court defeats. Moreover, I was appalled by Trump's characterization of migrants from Mexico and other central American countries. I was similarly appalled by his and Vance's shameful mischaracterization of Haitian migrants. To my eyes and ears, Trump has done so much that is disqualifying. I do understand that many are concerned with the cost of living...my understanding is that much of this really isn't under the control of the president. There really are many positive economic indicators and there's no question that the Biden/Harris and hopefully Harris/Walz administrations are more forward-looking. I researched the Trump 2024 platform...and it is highly concerning, but hardly fleshed out. As Trump's debate with Harris revealed, his tactic is to complain, but to present no substantive solutions (ACA/Obamacare). He's artfully tried to dodge any association with Project 2025---but we clearly saw attempts to weaken our critical agencies during his first term such as the EPA. It is my deepest prayer that American voters deny Trump/Vance the opportunity to hold the reins of federal power.
@@LA-rv2fr thank you for a very respectful comment but I disagree. Just to make one point about the border and immigration, the Biden/Harris Administration have opened the border and incentivized millions of people to come here risking their life, paying thousand of dollars to the cartels and being trafficked, that is inhumane, there are missing children and other being released into the country without a follow up… all of it for political gain. I’m not emotional or offended for a comment Trump made about “Mexicans”, I am disgusted about the handling of the border by this government . Too much to talk about, unfortunately the country is so divided.
The first thing Trump thinks about when he meets someone is "you got your job because of the way you look". My struggle to get an education helped me understand who to avoid, and who to follow. As in any group of people, there are many Latinos who do not support the far right.
I can relate to Ramos comments about latino migrants distancing themselves to new migrants or refugees. This phenomenom happens in the Vietnamese community too, even among 1st migrant/refugee generation. What Ramos did not discuss is the strategic Republican labelling of Democrats as communist and socialist. Many latinos who emigrated to the US came from a communist/socialist country like Cuba. They are frightened of such regime, and hence pivot towards Trump. This is a well known reason why the majority of Cubans supports Trump. I find Ramos conflicting herself when she first said younger generation Latinos consider themselves Americans, i.e detaching themselves from their migrant background. But when asked if Harris via too much towards the right on her immigration policy, Ramos said she'd rish losing young Latino voters whose parents/grand parents were migrants who fled a violent regime of their country. What was Ramos' message here?
She's honest and covering a topic mainstream won't touch but one need not refer to 1500s, the apparent elevation of one minority over others will deliver votes to Trump. People.
Great interview and totally agree with her observations and drawn conclusions especially due to class based on skin color shades and the 3rd generations thinking of themselves as true Americans as this was explained in my ESOL class like this: First generation usually came here not as children but as adults, so they often keep their language and traditions and don't really assimilate a lot. The second generation are their children who were bilingual and helped their parents and possibly their grandparents navigate the English language. They had assimilated, but still honored many of their parent's traditions which at times caused friction. For example when I was teaching, a girl's education was felt to not be as important as a boy's, so they missed school more to help out at home, which at times upset my top female students as they had educational goals they wanted to fulfill. The third generation are the children of those parents and were totally assimilated with many not even knowing the language of their grandparents as it was never spoken anymore since translations were no longer needed as well as having no connection nor history of life living under a dictator/authoritarian. But what really caught my ear regarding the rise of Latino Evangelical churches as Catholicism was cast aside, for these began popping up where I taught in the mid '90s and to be honest, gave me pause even then.

Anthony Arguero reminds me of a character played by Denzel Washington in a movie, A Soldier’s Story, who murdered a poorly educated, rural Black soldier because he thought that individual was making it difficult for people like him to gain acceptance.
You got that wrong. Denzel's character did not kill that guy, he killed the black Sargent The black Sargent is the one who did not like the southern rural black guy and gave him a hard time . Denzel's character liked the southern guy because they both were southern blacks.
@@beaujac311 , sorry bout that. But I still think that Arguero’s dislike of his fellow Hispanics reflects similar behavior. I grew up in an ethnically mixed environment and it was not unusual to encounter people who felt that new entrants to the nation from their native lands were what was holding them back.
@@williamturnier9032 I love a Soldier's Story so I just had to help out. I see Anthony Arguero more like the Stephen character from the movie Django Unchained.

@@beaujac311 , He is not very introspective. If he were he would realize that two generations ago, a person like him would have been hating Anthony’s grandfather.

wao...I'm a Democrat and she's completely wrong on this. A lot of Hispanics/Latinos refused to embrace this binary-color culture that America promotes and that to us feels like America is frozen in time of the 1950s. To those of us that come from very diverse societies (because "el mestizaje") it feels weird that America can't move beyond black and white. It surprises me that she fails to acknowledge that. Somehow after 50+ years America can't seem to grow out of the black and white mentality. It will take time before the United States sees itself as a mixed-race nation.

He doesn’t hate anyone. The ILLIGAL immigrants that he doesn’t like. I am as a legal immigrant DO NOT like illegal immigrants. It took us 10 years waiting in line to get here LEGALLY. We got no help from the government. The illegals who break the laws are getting a lot of rewards from this incompetent administration. That is unfair and very wrong.
I haven’t read her book but based on this interview I agree. There are several reasons for the increase of latinos for trump. I also think there is a large portion of the latino community that leans to conservatism and old school based on religion and social hierarchy. Many immigrants who are in the US legal were from upper classes in their countries, so they have no regard for the immigrants from lower social class who are the ones coming from the desert
Probably very few! Millions of immigrants want to do right by their new country which says a lot about someone’s character. Millions of immigrants came with hardly anything to the US!!!
I'm confused, if you are an American citizen, shouldn't you assimilate and BE American? This is a very divisive message. We are our cultures, but we ARE American....we should be united as brothers and sisters. Or else, why are you here?
The far-right presence in the Latino demographic is due to migrant Latinos. Latinos born and raised in the US lean toward the left, it's part of our reality as a minority group. For those born in the US that lean right has to do with owning businesses and homes owning, taxes then matter. This also applies to migrants who come from a nation where if you don't provide for yourself and your family, no one eats. Not to mention strong catholic values. What's not surprising yet unintelligible is how Republicans are not taking advantage of this demographic change. it's not surprising because migrant from Latin America will soon realize that part of conservatism in the US is racism. There is an old saying among Latinos who are white in place of origin and migrate to the US, that "your last name betrays you".
It’s literally the opposite, is US Latinos that are to the right of Latin Americans. Just take a look at the region nearly every country is to the left of the United Statea and some of them are literally socialist governments like Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua.
@@ericktellez7632 Cuba is one nation in Latin America and one must differentiate between Latinos born and raised in the US and those recently migrating. We see the difference all over NYC. Most migrants are doing what they did in their nation of origin, setting up a table and selling food and merchandise, they find a way to hustle an honest dollar with or without legal status in the US. Only a few who were gang members in their native nation came to the US and continued their illegal activities. It's logical and common sense. I'm Latino, born, raised, and catholic school educated in the US and I speak with my own kind and migrants all the time, so I know. I began as a Democrat but now I'm independent, that is also happening now.
You are so wrong . Latinos don’t think like Americans about color skin. The reason is Latinos coming from failure countries communism, socialism and they don’t want to live that anymore. We come for countries where the laws wasn’t respected and we don’t like that here . Also we like money and be successful ( we don’t have victim mentality) so we want a great economy and yes we are very family oriented and conservative. That’s something we don’t see in the Democratic Party because they are Extremely liberal. So don’t lose your time thinking is about color of skin at all 😂
It is about skin color all day every day everywhere. In the Americas it certainly is as your conquistadors the Portuguese and Spanish and our colonizers in North America the British ensured that there was a caste system with white people regardless of intellect being on top. If anything it is more about color in Latin America as there are no people of color but a few in any positions of power and influence.
Since when can policy solve much of anything except for the bureaucrats needs? Government is not interested in solving your problems, government is interested in solving its own problems.
This is Paola Ramos' opinion on how the dominican woman should look at herself. Fortunatelly, that woman' knows that her identity doesn't depend of what Trump, Harris or Paola for this effect wants her to be. We should vote based on policies, not on our race.
As an Hispanic do you think that I care about discrimination? Dude, people in US has this wrong idea about the differents kind of comunities that we have through out the American continent. There is white, black and indigenous people among us, our culture is very different from place to place, but we are without a shadow of a doubt a Christian culture, where all or most of our values come from Christianity. And we are at times, racist too, but we don't make it a big of a problem, it is good to be different.
Latinos are black, Indian and white and other immigrants like Chinese Japanese, Lebanese, although most are mixed. So yes there is racism. It’s colonialism, 500 years. “America” only difference is the language you use. Spanish, English, Portuguese, French.
I have a dear friend who teaches Spanish. She mentioned that some Mexicans/Mexican-Americans have African ancestors. I was dubious. Welp...I was wrong! Harvard U.'s Henry Louis Gates has affirmed this...African slaves were brought to Mexico.

I hope one day you work yourself free and realise you can lead instead of blindly following
I think it’s just that as ethnic groups become more assimilated after being here a few generations they just see themselves as being Americans and identify more as simply American more than their motherland or origin. Just as Italian-Americans became more accepted, assimilated, negatively stereotyped less, more middle class and therefore more politically mixed with more conservatives, Latinos are starting to experience the same thing. I’m fully on board with Harris and hope Trump and MAGA are relegated to the ash heap of history, however having said that - I’m glad that voting patterns don’t break down along ethnic and racial lines nearly as much as we previously thought. THAT would bad for national unity.
I appreciate the thought process. It's a little more than assimilation tho. Ian Lopez wrote an amazing book about it and explains how law was used to do what you've identified as assimilating.
I would be surprised if Paola Ramos is voting for Trump. But she has a very unique cultural perspective on all of this and I appreciate her. She could be very persuasive in moving the Latino population to vote Republican or Democrat.

I grew up and still live in a multicultural state, and most of the Latinos in my state, like 9 in 10, voted Biden/Harris back in 2020, but are now going to vote Red because theyre sick and tired of high lnfIation, endIess wars, an unsecure border, and that other countries and illegals get billions and millions in AID, but when its our own people that need help here in America, they only get $750, that the reality, no matter how much you want to desperately live in the alternate reality made for yourself in your heads. 💙❄️💧😿
A 22-year-old voter with 50,000 TikTok followers, Kruz Kitelinger, cited the false claim about the $750 aid limit, which Trump has made. On its website, FEMA says that people can apply for $750 in “serious needs assistance,” which is an upfront payment to help with costs like food, and that they can also apply for additional funds to cover the cost of temporary housing, home repairs and more.
That happened to my friend. She switched from Democrat to Republican and said it was because of Trans rights curriculums in the schools, bad schools, open borders, anchor babies, increased crime in the Latino-centric neighborhoods, Narco intimidation of families, and lack of housing because it is taken up by undocumented.
Oh right, all those Latinos in your "multicultural state" (aren't all US states multicultural? Freudian Slip much?) are _suddenly_ now all going to vote for Trump?? Riiiight. Every word in your spew is a false right wing talking point. Stop spreading your cult Koolaid here, no one is drinking it.

Nothings wrong with Latinos wanting to be called Americans. But I do hope that everyone understands Trump cannot be the leader of this great country. Just listen to recent speech by Liz Cheney when she endorsed Harris.
And you open your eyes and see what this Administration has done to America. Go asked the people affected by the hurricanes how Biden and Harris have treated them.

A good number of Latinos believe that they're White and don't realize what White America says about them behind their backs.

nonsense and anecdotal
What this interview failed to address is the difference between the various Latino blocks. Cubans, Venezuelans, Dominicans, Puertorricans, Mexicans do not vote the same. Their histories and relations with dictators, communism, racism, crime, poverty can be very different and unique and that is reflected in their priorities and eventually in their voting decisions and beliefs. To assume that all Latinos will and must support the Democrats is foolish. The Dems may actually represent the opposite of what a Latino block wants. Clear example is the Cubans who reject any hint of leftism after the Castro debacle.
@@lewest7317I was a life long democrat from California. The democrats are no longer the party of the Kennedy family. They have embraced a far left radical agenda and ideology on every issue. I am voting for the party that has common sense and truly loves America. Democrats seek to control.
Can’t like this comment more. Exactly! As a Venezuelan the downright repulsion I have towards anything remotely left because of Chavismo and socialism will always push towards the right.
The lady mentioned examples of a Dominican and Mexican, she can't relate anecdotes for each Latino ethnicity. There isn't enough time for that time.
She's a white washed lati-gringa that has no idea how Latin America works. All her concepts of being Latino are from American sociology courses in some urban college. She's the reason Latinos and Black men are sick and tired of wokeness and mainstream liberalism. It's disgusting at this point.

@@estelalumbreras8155 Well said, it's not even the lack of support, but the active gatekeeping: Anti-competition at its core.
A lot of white and black Americans tend to put latinos in one racial category, without realizing there are black, brown and white latinos, and sometimes a mix of all three. There is also lots of racism and xenophobia within the Latino community, with white or even brown Latinos being extremely racist against black Latinos.
I currently live in Colombia and many Colombians are extremely xenophobic against Venezuelans, just as bad (or worse) as Trumpers are against Latino immigrants in general.
Considering how a significant percentage of people in Latin American countries easily give in to machismo culture, and they are often extremely religious (catholic) and ultraconservative, on top of the fact that racism and xenophobia are quite normal in Latin America (sometimes even worse than in the US), I’m not surprised at all that so many Latinos in the US (and in Latin America too) passionately support a “strongman” like Trump.

@@Praxis71 Sorry to disappoint you but I think I’m right 🤔
@@Beatlearl no one contends that culture and race are not synonymous, but my point was that ethnicity, which denotes a cultural group, is not a racial group. I think that’s where the confusion lies. People understand what culture is, they don’t always understand what ethnicity is (which is pretty much the same). So you’re not wrong, but I think the race/ethnicity conflation is what confuses people the most.
Agree.
The Association of German National Jews (German: Verband nationaldeutscher Juden) was a German Jewish organization during the Weimar Republic and the early years of Nazi Germany that eventually came out in support of Adolf Hitler.
It primarily attracted members from the anticommunist middle class, small business owners, self-employed professionals such as physicians and lawyers, national conservatives, and nationalist World War I veterans, many of whom believed that Nazi antisemitism was only a rhetorical tool used to "stir up the masses."
Anti-blackness has a lot to do with it.

I think they dynamic in the Americas is different. Because Latinos in the US are willful immigrants and hold traditional Christian values, they more readily assume American conservative ideology, With Ireland(and correct me if I'm wrong) there is a strong identity due to subjugation by the British. My best mate is from Northern Ireland and his earliest memories were of the British military raiding his family farm looking for IRA weapons caches. I'm African American and as I get older with a few decades of life experience, and study western philosophy for my masters degree, the more I understand just how anti-Black the fabric of America really is. And I was all in on American patriotism, wanted to work for the state department spreading democracy across the world. But I see now. It took me a while to get here, but I see.

@@jdotsalter910Aren’t African Americans also a group that holds traditional Christian values?? Your religion theory for Latinos doesn’t work here. A much more tenable explanation for them turning far right is their education level. It is perhaps lower. There’s been countless published social science that confirms the causation of education levels to the political identity of a person. The higher the education level, the more likely they vote blue. When they survey the group with masters the numbers lean more liberal and the group with PhD, there were hardly any who vote red. This is perhaps why you don’t see Asian Americans and first generation Africans in America who tend to be more highly educated leaning right.
@@jdotsalter910Your theory doesn’t hold because African Americans are even more religious Christians. Latinos are turning far right because the tendency to vote liberal correlates to education level. Their education level is much lower than US average. That’s why we see Asian American and highly educated first generation African in US almost always leaning liberal.
The one thing that unites and is common among all these various groups that support Trump is their hatred for other groups who they see as different to them.

Sadly, this is not shocking. As a Latino, it cannot be overstated how deeply ingrained racism is in the psyche of many Latinos. You combine the history of colonialism, the generational distance between younger Latino Americans and their migrant ancestors who more directly experienced American xenophobia, and a sense of cultural machismo and it’s sadly not shocking that a large segment of Latino Americans have gravitated towards the far right fringes of the American body politic.
k, I had a cuban teacher who spoke at length about what she and her family went through to come to the US. Under trump, they would not be accepted. They would have been sent back to their country to die as traitors. Is it that latinos are more comfortable under a dictatorship and that is why they lean right? It is a mistake leading only to the same thing that you fled your country for.
It baffles my mind, that as bad as he, Rump has spoken of Latinos, they would still vote for him. He will do worse than colonize. 😮😮😮
As a Latino, you shouldn't be surprised there are tons of extremely Christian Right Wing Latinos.
Latinos are often misinterpreted as ALL being "Natives" or the oppressed populace that European conquistadors put underneath their big, shiny black boots since the late 1400s, when they first landed on islands in the Western Hemisphere.
But, in reality, you have "Latinos" descended from the most extremely & fascist Right Wing Portuguese, Spaniards, Italians, Germans, French, Dutch, and English people... from the US, to Cuba, to Central America, all the way to Argentina and Brazil...
The BULK of the most racist Nazis and Fascists from Europe ESCAPED to the Northern & Southern Hemispheres, in the Americas, from WW1 to post-WW2.
They also are in Australia and New Zealand... South Africa and the rest of Africa, in the open and in highly armed military compounded neighborhoods...
Nick Fuentes, Enrique Tarrio, the Castro brothers, the Ortega brothers, 99.9% of the autocrats from Mexico through Central America, to all of South America...
THESE ARE DESCENDED from Right Wing, Christian Fascists and Nazis.... from EUROPE.
These Right Wing "Latinos" (many in the various KKK, Nazi/Neo Nazi and Fascist groups) are opposed to Communists... opposed to Socialists ... opposed to Progressives.... opposed to Feminists ... opposed to non-Christians... opposed to Natives... opposed to Asians... opposed to Blacks, and ESPECIALLY OPPOSED TO Jews.... opposed to Liberals & Liberalism & WESTERN LIBERAL DEMOCRACY... opposed to multi-culturalism & 21st century diversity (outside of Right Wring European traditions and beliefs and practices).... although TODAY they accept a few small percentages of psychologically, ideologically twisted Blacks, Asians, women et al who AGREE WITH THEM, that society was better in the early 1900s, the 1800s, the 1700s, etc.....twisted Blacks and Asians like Clarence Thomas and that Black Nazi guy running for governor of North Carolina, who also wouldn't mind owning a few Blacks slaves, today, if Slavery were to return...

People need to stop speaking of Latinos and Hispanics a racial or ethnic group, they're not. Latinos are people of various racial, ethnic backgrounds and I speak for myself as someone coming from the Latin American region.
I’m sure that’s going to make all the difference to trump and his allies regarding what they have planned in their project 2025 manifesto for Latinos & Hispanics which will be 20 times worse than what & how he treated Latinos & Hispanics when he was president the first time and what he has said since.
I am also surprised that the comments fail to address the huge and critical differences between different Latino blocks. The Mexicans in Houston have little in common with the Cubans in Miami or the Dominicans in The Bronx. Seems that the assumption here is that all Latinos are essentially the same and thus, they should all vote for the Democrats. That's exactly why they are losing the Latino vote. Because they fail to understand the complex dynamics of each ethnicity.
@lewest7317 to be fair the reason Republicans are wining these voting blocks is because they're advertising in spanish while democrats don't even try. They all speak spanish that's what they have in common, and probably don't love the inflation of the last few years. Abortion and reproductive rights are also less of a factor. Also they tend to be religious. These are generalatzions to why Republicans are gaining the latino vote
The truth of the matter.

She is so right in describing the struggles that Latinos have about their own racial identity.

However, I couldn't help laughing when they also admitted that when they lived in Paris, french people did not think of them as white.

Upsurd! Only Americans think Latinos are anything else than white. I am from Europe and I always thought of latinos as white, Brasilians? Of course white. Of course mixed race with the local indigenous population etc, but never did we here think of them than any different than the difference between scandinavians and italians!!

Thank you for sharing your thoughts! We should draw our information from a variety of sources. To not do so seals us in a echo chamber with limited information...and possibly, much of it false. I found myself on X today reading disinformation about President Biden steering FEMA funds to migrants. That's just not true. But the lie gets repeated and repeated and folks come to believe that the lie is the truth. Sometimes lies are uttered on purpose as Vance himself confirmed during a media interview. Specifically, he "copped" to saying that he spread the vile rumor about Haitians in order to get people thinking about issues with migration. There's a history of cooperation and rivalry between African-Americans and Latinos. As an African-American, I'm proud of my community's quest for equal treatment that I believe has benefitted not just my community, but women and other communities of color. I'm aware of the Chicano rights movement and leaders, a believe that Latinos in America have much to be proud of. Per your note, it's disheartening that some of the Latino community opposed black activism to decry police violence and systematic racism (see Carol Anderson's excellent remarks about the "kindling" that led to the Ferguson, MO riots).

If your quest for absolution and piety leads you to endorse fast-track legal status for hundreds of thousands of poor people (people made poor by US sanctions or neoliberal globalist capitalism) then you will be mad when people oppose your religion that is wrecking American communities but you'll be happy when people in expensive suits on TV tell you that you're a good person.
I'm buying her book because, for me, asAfro Latino is mind-blowing the way people, my same heritage, have forgotten their roots.
Hola Hector. Respectfully. What heritage are you referring to? The Spanish (from Spain) heritage? The roots of a Argentinian, Peruvian, Cuban or Mexican, do you think are the same? Did they go through the same struggles including racial blending and slavery? After more than 500 years of the Spanish foundation, don't you think the differences are too many to see the Latinos as one monolithic block? A block that should think and vote one way?
Great Interview!! I'll definitely pick-up Paola Ramos' book on Audible or Kindle. Coming from a Puerto Rican, Evanglical, and Afro Latino back ground, Paola details exactly what a lot of my family are thinking when they vote MAGA. Internalized (and externalized) racism, an "us versus them" mentality, and listening to their pastors before listening to scientists/doctors. I've seen and experienced it all. Can't wait to dive into her book at this pivital time. It may even help me change some minds 29 days before the election.
Hi Carlos. It can get complicated and goes beyond politics. If you and your relatives are Evangelical you will need to address the fact that the Dems support abortion (extreme in some cases), LGBTQ causes, reduced control by parents on children's upbringing, sex changing surgeries in children, lesser safety with weaker law enforcement. Some of these issues are strongly against Christian values and beliefs. In this case a vote for Trump is not a vote for MAGA, but a vote for a more "conservative" style of government. Not every Trump voter is a MAGA cultist, many are just voting against liberalism and a weak Biden-Harris/Walz ticket.
You're 💯 % right
The support of Trump from evangelicals begs the question; With everything you've been taught about right and wrong, good and bad, how to treat others; How and why would you support someone like Donald Trump?
That tells me those evangelicals are not good people.
I ask the same all the time 🤷🏻
As evangelical my answer is that I am voting for policies; based on right and wrong I understand abortion as a l wrong and so I vote for the candidate that protects life. I couldn't vote for the candidate that runs in promoting abortion up to the third trimester. There are other factors that bring my vote to the red side as well, like the use given to my taxes, etc. This is my honest answer to your honest question.
@@miriam450 While your answer may be honest, it's based upon the lies you believe about abortion. Who told you that abortions occurs in the third trimester? Do you understand that women die in pregnancy? Do you understand that the red side as you call it, don't give a rats butt about babies and children after they're born, otherwise they wouldn't be voting against every initiative or bill designed to keep them fed and healthy, physically and mentally? Do you know the red side rather give your tax dollars to millionaires and billionaires than to families with babies? Do you know that V.P. Harris will make sure that families with children will benefit from the taxes that the aforementioned owes? Do you know that you rather vote for a white supremacist that has said that he will give immunity to police that kills black people because he will reinstate stop and frisk; That means black men, women and children? As an evangelical, you're ok not only with what I mentioned but the fact that the white supremacist leader attempted a coup based upon his own lies that resulted in people dying? Are you really concerned about life or are you being woefully ignorant and disingenuous about what you really believe?
@@miriam450 I had another answer that I had typed out, but rather than wasting my breath, I will say that you need to learn because I don't know who you listen to, but you need to stop listening to them. Read on your own.
I've got mine, so screw everyone politcs appeals to a wide spectrum of people.
TRUE!!!
Paola has been exposing the dynamics in the Latin voters, and i sure hope the Democratic Party sought her out and listened to her, because she sure knows! She deserves a platform like MSNBC to have a show every weekend!
MSNBC?!!! you are not serious
Mainstream media will not, because she is the wrong color. Really how many Hispanics do you see in mainstream media? F The media and Hollywood.
Her latinX bull$hit didn't work and I came back to say I told you so.
To all Hispanic, Polynesian Trump Voters: I am really happy that you can enjoy a great life. I also hope that you or your family members will never need a good publicly funded education, social security, health insurance, abortion rules, Medicare and maybe later natural disaster relief (climate). To the Hurricane disaster victims: DT wanted to cut the FEMA funding. There are many other democratic countries in the world that offer all of this (I had to travel a lot for work). It seems that some have never heard or understood what DT said.

A Very indept and powerful interview. Her thesis can be easily applied to many other immigrant groups, especially ones from countries that experienced colonialism.
This is so sad and pathetic and I’m an immigrant
wao...I'm a Democrat and she's completely wrong on this. A lot of Hispanics/Latinos refused to embrace this binary-color culture that America promotes and that to us feels like America is frozen in time of the 1950s. To those of us that come from very diverse societies (because "el mestizaje") it feels weird that America can't move beyond black and white. It surprises me that she fails to acknowledge that. Somehow after 50+ years America can't seem to grow out of the black and white mentality. It will take time before the United States sees itself as a mixed-race nation.

Firstly the white YES WHITE Hispanic woman being interviewed is a socialist. In Latin America, most of the most abusive communist and socialists were WHITE.
Most Cubans were FLEEING a white champagne socialist. They want freedom, LESS govt involvement and that is what MAGA offers.

Lastly latinos were beaten down by censorship and draconian laws that erased free speech under men like Castro etc.

I compliment Paola Ramos on her eloquent, descriptive, nonjudgmental answers to the interviewer's questions. As a third generation, half Italian, I've always retained a pride and loyalty to Italy and other Italians. Why is this not the case for these Latinos? It's quite obvious that Trump's clearly ostensible display of loyalty to Latinos is self-serving and beguiling as demonstrated by his deprecating actions toward them in the past. Why don't Latinos have more nationality loyalty than to be mislead by Trump's very obvious political ploy and hold him accountable for who he really is? In comparing the two candidate's records, it's clear which one offers a more wholesome future for all ethnic groups.
Some want to be more American than Americans.
Well they're not, and never will be and will always be seen as perpetual foreigners unlike natives, black Americans, and whites whose families have been here for centuries.
bc they are traditional good people
unlike you
That is such an ignorant statement. America is a melting pot of immigrants.
Because a lot of contribute to the country as much as americans.
In Mexico, the racism exists as well. Go to their higher end restaurants. The waiting staff are always fair skinned, indigenous and European mestizos while the street vendors are mostly of pure indigenous descent.
"Latinos" are not a monolithic group, is tiring this non-sense of colorism, trying to push that American agenda. Ms. Ramos, we know who you are and your agenda.
Colonization is the root of all US problems. If you think otherwise it's because your mind has also been colonized!

Me neither. Puppets. They must love racism and everything he stands.
@@sassysaint3096 we have conservative values. We don’t embrace progressive values like the democrats.
It’s wild to me because there is a strong distaste for Catholicism in the evangelical world in which I grew up, and the white evangelicals I grew up around viewed it as a cult, yet many Latino immigrants are now replenishing the numbers of white evangelicals since they are used to coming from countries where the church is interwoven with the state. I cannot speak to the experience of those from countries with conflict and I understand that there may be legitimate reasons to dislike Democrats, but it still seems so disingenuous that the community in which I grew up, which contains people who have directly expressed fear to me of white people becoming the minority, are now suddenly accepting of a community they actively disliked for years. It’s hypocrisy at its finest.
This is the first time I’ve heard anyone put into words how I perceive the politics of many Hispanics here in Miami.-there is tendency to be anti immigrant (powerful AM radio helps).
Yes. At the end of the day, Hispanics are white people who speak Spanish or Portuguese. They are European descendants just like the American whites. In Miami, mostly the white ones are the ones who made it out of Cuba.
Well there is also the country they immigrated from factor in that population. In Miami there are a lot of Cubans, who are more prone than other Hispanics to being right wingers. The reason is due to many of them escaping Castro, who fought to give more rights to Black and Brown Cubans. And in doing so, took a lot of wealth away from that group (whiter looking Cubans). You ever notice how more of the Cuban Americans are less Black (the ones not in professional baseball)? It's because the poor didn't all come to America, while a lot of fairer skinned Cubans did after getting their wealth taken away.
That's compounded with who they're surrounded by in America too and the politics of the majority in the area. There are more right wingers in Florida than areas like California.
On the other hand, in Mexico, more poor people tended to immigrate to America. The richer Mexicans still live in Mexico for they had no reason to leave, and the Mexicans that had their wealth taken away by revolutionaries happened in the 1800s to early 1900s. They stayed in Mexico for the time being and didn't have the recency bias of socialism=bad, compared to the Cubans who dealt with Castro in the 1950s. My family is a good example of this. From my mom's side, they are fairer skin and we can trace our ancestry back to the 1700s. This is only possible for people who had more wealth. They had their wealth stolen by revolutionaries in the 1800s and for good reason. They most likely gained that wealth at the expense of the less fortunate. And so they stayed in Mexico, as equally poor for decades until they decided to migrate as farmers picking fruits. Because of that they don't have any bad feelings towards socialism or communism. That negative sentiment died out as it was from 60-80 years ago before they immigrated (they immigrated in the 40s).
Hence you see more support for Democrats who do a better job of not scapegoating Mexican American migrants. So Mexican America right wingers (fewer in numbers), tend to choose that due to right wingers pushing christianity as a focal point in campaigns. By invoking abortions, they can capture a large amount of Christian (not Catholic) fundamentalists.
Hence why a generic "Latino" voting block doesn't make much sense. There is more nuance and if anything it makes more sense to categorize which hispanics immigrated from where as a voting block.
@@solenstyle Well said and interesting!
and anti-black. and anti-democracy, as long as they feel that fascism will save them from “the Communists”
It depends on the generation or wave. Many from the first wave of Cubans after the Revolution in the 1950s were people with financial resources, prior business experience and academic credentials. They established what today is The Greater Miami and expanded to Tampa etc. The next waves had no money and many were criminals (Marielitos). So, first wave Cubans and their descendants may treat immigrants including poor Cubans, badly.

If you're not a bot, please do the research and you'll see you've been lied to by the WSJ and the other mainstream media. Trump has repeatedly condemned that '2025 Report,' and the few authors who were once associated with him left because they didn't consider him radical enough.

Trying to put Latinos in a box and telling them how to vote based on race is so racist itself. People make their own decision looking at different issues that are important for them.
that's what I'm saying
No disrespect intended, but your use of the word racist is inaccurate here. As an African-American, I'm really surprised and disappointed by the rightward drift of some Latinos. I can completely understand thinking for oneself...I think that's the hallmark of a strong democracy. It mystifies me to hear folks talking like this is any old kind of election when there's a person on the ballot who tried to engineer a coup and who continues to spread disinformation about our election system despite multiple court defeats. Moreover, I was appalled by Trump's characterization of migrants from Mexico and other central American countries. I was similarly appalled by his and Vance's shameful mischaracterization of Haitian migrants. To my eyes and ears, Trump has done so much that is disqualifying. I do understand that many are concerned with the cost of living...my understanding is that much of this really isn't under the control of the president. There really are many positive economic indicators and there's no question that the Biden/Harris and hopefully Harris/Walz administrations are more forward-looking. I researched the Trump 2024 platform...and it is highly concerning, but hardly fleshed out. As Trump's debate with Harris revealed, his tactic is to complain, but to present no substantive solutions (ACA/Obamacare). He's artfully tried to dodge any association with Project 2025---but we clearly saw attempts to weaken our critical agencies during his first term such as the EPA. It is my deepest prayer that American voters deny Trump/Vance the opportunity to hold the reins of federal power.
So they want to be deported?
@@LA-rv2fr thank you for a very respectful comment but I disagree. Just to make one point about the border and immigration, the Biden/Harris Administration have opened the border and incentivized millions of people to come here risking their life, paying thousand of dollars to the cartels and being trafficked, that is inhumane, there are missing children and other being released into the country without a follow up… all of it for political gain. I’m not emotional or offended for a comment Trump made about “Mexicans”, I am disgusted about the handling of the border by this government . Too much to talk about, unfortunately the country is so divided.
The first thing Trump thinks about when he meets someone is "you got your job because of the way you look". My struggle to get an education helped me understand who to avoid, and who to follow. As in any group of people, there are many Latinos who do not support the far right.
😂😂😂😂😂what the heck do you think DEI is based off, as Affirmative Action
I can relate to Ramos comments about latino migrants distancing themselves to new migrants or refugees. This phenomenom happens in the Vietnamese community too, even among 1st migrant/refugee generation.
What Ramos did not discuss is the strategic Republican labelling of Democrats as communist and socialist. Many latinos who emigrated to the US came from a communist/socialist country like Cuba. They are frightened of such regime, and hence pivot towards Trump. This is a well known reason why the majority of Cubans supports Trump.
I find Ramos conflicting herself when she first said younger generation Latinos consider themselves Americans, i.e detaching themselves from their migrant background. But when asked if Harris via too much towards the right on her immigration policy, Ramos said she'd rish losing young Latino voters whose parents/grand parents were migrants who fled a violent regime of their country. What was Ramos' message here?
she did not mention it as she is a socialist
she is basically deliberately deceiving the audience
Many L a tinos equate Democrats with Socialists. They are so wrong.
In independent African American here. The algorithm brought me here. Very insightful and interesting discussion.
Same here
Dido!
She's honest and covering a topic mainstream won't touch but one need not refer to 1500s, the apparent elevation of one minority over others will deliver votes to Trump. People.
Great interview and totally agree with her observations and drawn conclusions especially due to class based on skin color shades and the 3rd generations thinking of themselves as true Americans as this was explained in my ESOL class like this: First generation usually came here not as children but as adults, so they often keep their language and traditions and don't really assimilate a lot. The second generation are their children who were bilingual and helped their parents and possibly their grandparents navigate the English language. They had assimilated, but still honored many of their parent's traditions which at times caused friction. For example when I was teaching, a girl's education was felt to not be as important as a boy's, so they missed school more to help out at home, which at times upset my top female students as they had educational goals they wanted to fulfill. The third generation are the children of those parents and were totally assimilated with many not even knowing the language of their grandparents as it was never spoken anymore since translations were no longer needed as well as having no connection nor history of life living under a dictator/authoritarian.
But what really caught my ear regarding the rise of Latino Evangelical churches as Catholicism was cast aside, for these began popping up where I taught in the mid '90s and to be honest, gave me pause even then.

I haven’t read her book but based on this interview I agree.
There are several reasons for the increase of latinos for trump. I also think there is a large portion of the latino community that leans to conservatism and old school based on religion and social hierarchy. Many immigrants who are in the US legal were from upper classes in their countries, so they have no regard for the immigrants from lower social class who are the ones coming from the desert
Waiting for their turn to be white ??
Probably very few! Millions of immigrants want to do right by their new country which says a lot about someone’s character. Millions of immigrants came with hardly anything to the US!!!

I'm confused, if you are an American citizen, shouldn't you assimilate and BE American? This is a very divisive message. We are our cultures, but we ARE American....we should be united as brothers and sisters. Or else, why are you here?
Choosing the European spaniards ancestry to reclame whiteness and power
This is a brilliant observation
it is an ignorant one
it is about escaping LEFT WING SOCIALISM
So interesting when one's phenotypic expression is black. Goodness.
I. MAXICAN. I. VOTE. FOR. MRS. HARRIS. BLUE 💙🔵💙💙
This lady is wonderful. Clear communicator. Mesmerising.
The far-right presence in the Latino demographic is due to migrant Latinos. Latinos born and raised in the US lean toward the left, it's part of our reality as a minority group. For those born in the US that lean right has to do with owning businesses and homes owning, taxes then matter. This also applies to migrants who come from a nation where if you don't provide for yourself and your family, no one eats. Not to mention strong catholic values. What's not surprising yet unintelligible is how Republicans are not taking advantage of this demographic change. it's not surprising because migrant from Latin America will soon realize that part of conservatism in the US is racism. There is an old saying among Latinos who are white in place of origin and migrate to the US, that "your last name betrays you".
It’s literally the opposite, is US Latinos that are to the right of Latin Americans. Just take a look at the region nearly every country is to the left of the United Statea and some of them are literally socialist governments like Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua.
@@ericktellez7632 Cuba is one nation in Latin America and one must differentiate between Latinos born and raised in the US and those recently migrating. We see the difference all over NYC. Most migrants are doing what they did in their nation of origin, setting up a table and selling food and merchandise, they find a way to hustle an honest dollar with or without legal status in the US. Only a few who were gang members in their native nation came to the US and continued their illegal activities. It's logical and common sense. I'm Latino, born, raised, and catholic school educated in the US and I speak with my own kind and migrants all the time, so I know. I began as a Democrat but now I'm independent, that is also happening now.
This was an excellent interview! Thank you!
She spoke about anti blackness very well.
What a nuanced and complex take on Latino voters. Excellent and needed interview.
it was a terrible take
she ignored the fact that Latinos HATE PEOPLE LIKE HER
RICH WHITE SOCIALISTS
Ms. Ramos didn't talked that we latinos as a group a great majority os us embrace traditional values. Nothing to do with colonialism .
Is HATE for people who do not look like you or worship like you a "traditional value"? Is DICTATORSHIP a "traditional value"?
You are so wrong . Latinos don’t think like Americans about color skin. The reason is Latinos coming from failure countries communism, socialism and they don’t want to live that anymore. We come for countries where the laws wasn’t respected and we don’t like that here . Also we like money and be successful ( we don’t have victim mentality) so we want a great economy and yes we are very family oriented and conservative. That’s something we don’t see in the Democratic Party because they are Extremely liberal. So don’t lose your time thinking is about color of skin at all 😂
You're right 👍
You're so wrong
A lot of Hispanic people are very racist. I speak from personal experience
@ maybe they are racist just with you lol 🤣
@@tonyhinds6882 everyone can be racist
It is about skin color all day every day everywhere. In the Americas it certainly is as your conquistadors the Portuguese and Spanish and our colonizers in North America the British ensured that there was a caste system with white people regardless of intellect being on top. If anything it is more about color in Latin America as there are no people of color but a few in any positions of power and influence.
I don't think policy can solve this. This country needs therapy! Wow!😢
Since when can policy solve much of anything except for the bureaucrats needs? Government is not interested in solving your problems, government is interested in solving its own problems.
This is Paola Ramos' opinion on how the dominican woman should look at herself. Fortunatelly, that woman' knows that her identity doesn't depend of what Trump, Harris or Paola for this effect wants her to be. We should vote based on policies, not on our race.
Claiming you are white when you look African just makes you look dumb. But, carry on, if that makes you feel better about yourself.
As an Hispanic do you think that I care about discrimination? Dude, people in US has this wrong idea about the differents kind of comunities that we have through out the American continent. There is white, black and indigenous people among us, our culture is very different from place to place, but we are without a shadow of a doubt a Christian culture, where all or most of our values come from Christianity. And we are at times, racist too, but we don't make it a big of a problem, it is good to be different.
Latinos are black, Indian and white and other immigrants like Chinese Japanese, Lebanese, although most are mixed. So yes there is racism. It’s colonialism, 500 years. “America” only difference is the language you use. Spanish, English, Portuguese, French.
I have a dear friend who teaches Spanish. She mentioned that some Mexicans/Mexican-Americans have African ancestors. I was dubious. Welp...I was wrong! Harvard U.'s Henry Louis Gates has affirmed this...African slaves were brought to Mexico.
@@LA-rv2frSo what some 🙄 they are not black regardless .😅
They think they are white
No, I see myself as human. Mixed race, like many people. I can see you're racist though, what a reductive and simplistic world view you have. Where you did get it, conforming in some liberal arts college?
wow such a racist WHITE SUPREMAMCIST COMMENT
Your comment, like most of these comments, is deeply ignorant. My guess is you are a middle class white American liberal? what we call baizou….
I will make a few points. You can choose to ignore and continue to wallow in your own ignorance.
Firstly the white YES WHITE Hispanic woman being interviewed is a socialist. In Latin America, most of the most abusive communist and socialists were WHITE.
Most Cubans were FLEEING a white champagne socialist. They want freedom, LESS govt involvement and that is what MAGA offers.
You fools can deny this and just attribute it to racism or ignorance, but the reality is, Latino voters are not a monolith.
And tot he fools that claim Latinos should want the sort of programs the Dems offer.
Latinos understand that more public funding for education does NOT equal better education
They also don't like being told they MUST take a vaccine the govt mandates, while simultaneously being told my body my choice.
Then there are the wars. In case you have not noticed, the Dems are now the party of foreign intervention.
Lastly latinos were beaten down by censorship and draconian laws that erased free speech under men like Castro etc.
The Democratic Party is the party of censorship. Political correctness was a left wing ideology we all experienced in Eastern Bloc nations.
It is pretty pathetic you all attribute Latino conservativism to white supremacy and ignorance. The leader of the Proud Boys was in face a BLACK CUBAN!!
But you will not heed my words and just attribute my opinion to my being a
"Russian Bot"
Y'all are as predictable as you are ignorant and RACIST.
They are white though, like this person she is white. Just because she is named Ramos doesn’t make her non white. A lot of Latinos don’t “think” they are, they literally are white.
@@ericktellez7632 she's not white. Stop it lol
Am. MAXICAN. AND. AM. NOT. WHITE ✌🏽
I’m so glad that the Latino community is finally starting to wake up. LATINOS FOR TRUMP!!🇺🇸🇺🇸
Así es...viva Trump!!!
I don't think all Latinos are going for Trump
Not all. Only those blue collar workers of all backgrounds who think that they are going nowhere with the rising cost of life and stagnating wages.
Mostly young Latino men.
It's not that it's all, it's that it's any
@bruell It's strange, but my post with Byron Donald's quote explaining this phenomenon was removed.
Yes we are !! We don't the same bs democacas promise. Democacas keep trying to make us victims and blame the white man. I'm not a victim I'm an American and I don't want freebies from the democacas!
Common sense, that is the latino mind . Enough with us trying to brain washing. Proud supporter of Donald Trump!
A billionaire elitist is not common. And listen to any one of his rambling sentences for an idea of just how much sense lies behind his jingoistic populist soundbites. Your pride at voting for a man who has repeatedly poured scorn on your ancestors, your women, your socioeconomic status, the laws of your land, just goes to show how deep those colonialist claws are still sunk. I hope one day you work yourself free and realise you can lead instead of blindly following
I think it’s just that as ethnic groups become more assimilated after being here a few generations they just see themselves as being Americans and identify more as simply American more than their motherland or origin.
Just as Italian-Americans became more accepted, assimilated, negatively stereotyped less, more middle class and therefore more politically mixed with more conservatives, Latinos are starting to experience the same thing.
I’m fully on board with Harris and hope Trump and MAGA are relegated to the ash heap of history, however having said that - I’m glad that voting patterns don’t break down along ethnic and racial lines nearly as much as we previously thought. THAT would bad for national unity.
Italians weren’t always classed as white in the U.S. and it took an effort for them to be considered white.
I appreciate the thought process. It's a little more than assimilation tho. Ian Lopez wrote an amazing book about it and explains how law was used to do what you've identified as assimilating.
@@marc8h726 yep
@@bhg123ful Well’ doesn’t seem as though you’ve advanced very far if you embrace the socialist/Marxist ideology of Kamala Harris.
@@ChesterSm-ge1hb No evidence whatsoever Harris has a socialist/Marxist ideology. Just standard Democrat.
I would be surprised if Paola Ramos is voting for Trump. But she has a very unique cultural perspective on all of this and I appreciate her. She could be very persuasive in moving the Latino population to vote Republican or Democrat.
Harris/Walz 2024! Si se puede, si se puede, si se puede! Los Democratas unidos jamas seran vencidos!
Show me a black or latino person voting for Trump and I'll show you an ignoramus 😮.

I grew up and still live in a multicultural state, and most of the Latinos in my state, like 9 in 10, voted Biden/Harris back in 2020, but are now going to vote Red because theyre sick and tired of high lnfIation, endIess wars, an unsecure border, and that other countries and illegals get billions and millions in AID, but when its our own people that need help here in America, they only get $750, that the reality, no matter how much you want to desperately live in the alternate reality made for yourself in your heads. 💙❄️💧😿
A 22-year-old voter with 50,000 TikTok followers, Kruz Kitelinger, cited the false claim about the $750 aid limit, which Trump has made. On its website, FEMA says that people can apply for $750 in “serious needs assistance,” which is an upfront payment to help with costs like food, and that they can also apply for additional funds to cover the cost of temporary housing, home repairs and more.
That happened to my friend. She switched from Democrat to Republican and said it was because of Trans rights curriculums in the schools, bad schools, open borders, anchor babies, increased crime in the Latino-centric neighborhoods, Narco intimidation of families, and lack of housing because it is taken up by undocumented.
Oh right, all those Latinos in your "multicultural state" (aren't all US states multicultural? Freudian Slip much?) are _suddenly_ now all going to vote for Trump?? Riiiight. Every word in your spew is a false right wing talking point. Stop spreading your cult Koolaid here, no one is drinking it.
@@DeniseCumminsthanks for sharing info, they don't care to read or research and they believe Fox News.
Paola Ramos - incredible information! Great interview, great report.
she is a white supremacist socialist
hardly a good person to listen to
I love how this lady claims Hispanic people are basically ignorant and really don’t know why they are backing Trump other than colonialism that is basically a non-issue of today.
How is it a non-issue if policies affect minorities, people of color, and people of middle class and lower?
@@janellimarie what policies are you even talking about? In terms of policy having effect, every policy government rights has an effect on every race color in creed. What are these generalizations?
it’s the non-stop lies and propaganda from fox news, newsmax and churches.
Exactly, this lady does not understand basic common sense, she sounds like an out of touch elitist who wants to espouse theories, a lot of people, Hispanics included, are voting Trump just by looking at the grocery bill, someons should send this lady grocery bill receipts, maybe she'll get a clue, she just another out of touch Democrat elitist.
To be honest, I personally love latinos since I have been working with them for long time.
Nothings wrong with Latinos wanting to be called Americans. But I do hope that everyone understands Trump cannot be the leader of this great country. Just listen to recent speech by Liz Cheney when she endorsed Harris.
Trump is more of a leader then Kamal that's for sure
@@LR-px9ms Completely disagree. Heel’s Up Harris is simply not qualified to lead our country. Shame on the democrats party. Liz Cheney is irrelevant.
And you open your eyes and see what this Administration has done to America. Go asked the people affected by the hurricanes how Biden and Harris have treated them. FEMA is running out of money, but they can send millions to Lebanon and Ukraine. That's were our tax payer money and social security fund going.
@@LR-px9ms Trump’s policies are proven winners. Heels Up Harris is the queen of word salads and refuses to answer simple questions. She won’t answer questions because she’s a liar. Tampon Tim is another radical that doesn’t belong anywhere near the presidency.
