Latinos sour on Trump over tariffs, the economy, immigration raids

President Trump made historic gains for the GOP among Latino voters last year, but polls and other indicators suggest their support for him is falling amid growing anger over his handling of the economy and immigration.
Why it matters: Latinos' rising discontent could mean trouble for the GOP heading into the 2026 midterms, and undermine Republican redistricting efforts namely in Texas partly aimed at exploiting the party's recent gains among such voters.
The big picture: Trump's tariffs have South Texas farmers on edge as crop sales decline, while Latino small-business owners from bootmakers to small retailers say their costs are rising.
Grocery prices are up in most categories, and border ports, which are key sources of economic activity in the American Southwest, face financial uncertainty. Meanwhile, Trump's immigration crackdown by masked federal agents occasionally has involved arrests of Mexican Americans and other U.S.-born Latinos, leading to protests and complaints of racial profiling in several cities. And Trump's push to deport not just dangerous criminals, but also nonviolent undocumented workers and some legal immigrants, has exacerbated labor shortages and helped to fuel inflation in some sectors.

(24,014 posts)"The phrase "leopards ate my face" originated in a 2015 tweet by writer Adrian Bott. His tweet read: "'I never thought leopards would eat MY face,' sobs woman who voted for the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party".
Context of the tweet
The tweet was created as a satirical commentary on political regret.
It was inspired by a specific incident in the United Kingdom, where a woman who had voted for the Conservative Party expressed shock and dismay after her universal credit benefits were cut, despite having supported the party's platform of austerity measures.

To be fair, however, white people put Trump back in power. I mean, he got 53% of white women??? WTF?
Based on the statistics from the last election, only black women come unscathed.
At this point, the only saving grace for any other group would be if it was actually rigged.

(9,449 posts)I think it was about 8% less than what Biden received in 2020. Nope...just couldn't vote for a black woman to run this Country. Oh yeah...what we have now is sooooo much better under NAZI leadership.
Idiots all...................

(227 posts)I bet that 53% will be sorry once they take the vote away from women....and it is coming. Just waiting for that SAVE bill to pass which says your name must match your birth certificate which many married women do not have. This is the backdoor to blocking the woman vote.
I hyphenated my name but I am sorry that I did it. My DIL never changed her name to my son's. I also looked into the cost to change my name back and it is a few thousand that most people can't afford.
