    DeSantis said under a DeSantis administration, people who cross into the United States illegally would end up “stone cold dead,” a promise he has repeated for weeks.

    How is it that people are not calling him out on this? How the fuck can a Hispanic person vote for this Nazi?

      Second generation (or more) descendants of immigrants often don’t appreciate what their ancestors did. Just “Born in the USA dammit, it’s mine”.

      Even many first generation latinos don’t want further waves doing what they did.

      Or, they don’t even see the next immigrants as doing what they did, or being like they were. They might help specific friends and family follow along, but not those “teeming hordes over there”.

      As the Democratic party is learning, “Hispanic” isn’t a monolithic bloc. Mexicans aren’t the same as Puerto Ricans aren’t the same as Colombians aren’t the same as Nicaraguans aren’t the same as Cubans etc. Some of them hate other Latin nationalities almost as much as white Americans hate all of them.
