    Weirdly if its actually just drug cartel assets (I doubt) this seems like smart way to increase Latino support? Most don’t have much good to say about the cartels (many leaving due to them). There own country seems to be bought out by them so Trump being this almost knight in shining armor seems like an interesting idea? Its actual effectiveness does not matter, perceptions rule all.

    I think the upper middleclass-rich Democrats who lead the think tanks really haven’t internalized how conservative (I think this past decade they have slowly realized) alot of immigrant groups are, my family is full of people who honestly are more aligned conservative but the idea of republicans being a “white” party is what stops them. Trump essentially has to square the circle of a party of conservative immigrants, billionaires, libertarians, and neo-nazis
