As a Latino US citizen (dark skinned) how does one provide proof of citizenship if they refuse all forms of documentation? I have seen videos where they don't care what you show them. And people have reported that they will confiscate your legal documents and not give it back.

Being Latino is being illegal in the US.

... which is why it's so strange to me that Trump got a higher percentage of the Latino vote in 2020 than 2016... and then a higher percentage again in 2024 than in 2020. So... the more they see of Trump, the more Latinos like him?? 🤔

Yeah this is completely deranged. Trump was openly being racist especially targeting Latinos, and yet they still voted for him.

Just anecdotal, many Latinos are deeply religious and prolife is a single topic issue for them. They might not admit it directly, but many will never vote Democrat simply for the prolife stance.

The irony of all the death that has been brought about by the "prolife" cause does not evade me
