U.S. Latinos fear new mass deportations may target all Hispanics [View all]

And they have good reason to fear, I think.

Laws like those recently proposed in Texas and Louisiana (and in other GOP led states, I would anticipate) would subject ANY person of Latino appearance to undue stops and searches, perhaps worse -

based on nothing other than their perceived ethnicity. Why should any person or family be subjected to such?

Oh wait. Here's an idea. DON'T VOTE FOR THE BIGOT IN CHIEF or his fascist henchmen.

U.S. Latinos fear new mass deportations may target all Hispanics - Axios

More than half of U.S. Latino adults worry any new mass deportations would target all Latinos regardless of legal status, a new Axios-Ipsos Latino Poll in partnership with Noticias Telemundo finds.

Why it matters: Former President Trump has promised mass deportations if he wins a second term, and past efforts have swept up U.S. citizens, creating generations of trauma.

By the numbers: 54% of Mexicans and Mexican Americans — the targets of mass deportations in the 20th Century — said they worried that any new mass deportation plan would target all Latinos, including U.S. citizens and lawful residents.

65% of Central Americans, who have been targets in recent deportations, said the same.

So did 47% of Puerto Ricans — who are all U.S. citizens — and 37% of Cuban Americans, who have benefited from decades of Cold War-era "special treatment" and what some scholars say are unique immigration privileges.

Overall, 52% of Latinos surveyed said they worry that all Latinos will be targets of the mass deportation of undocumented immigrants.
