Seems like there is a contradiction between what most Latinos want, which seems very rational the way you explain it, and what Trump's base wants, which is a lot more sweeping and punitive. Trump himself seems to relish the punitive side of things, as do many of his top people (like Steven Miller and JD Vance).
I tend to assume that the more extreme MAGA proposals, such as ending birthright citizenship and deporting some naturalized citizens. would be less popular with Latinos, but are there any data on this?
Mike, I am interested in how you are thinking about what may have changed between the situation in 2018 , when Latinos turned out in large numbers because of Trump's deportation overreach, and the situation now, where broadly speaking, Latinos trust Trump (over Harris) to handle border security. There must be at least some in the community who remember what Trump did is his first term, yet there seems to be an implied trust, again broadly speaking, that Trump will handle things differently from his first term. Has the Latino electorate changed with the infusion of younger US born voters who don't remember 2017?
