'Deportation First': Trump and Harris Compete for Latinx Votes While Pushing Anti-Immigrant Policies

With just 19 days until the presidential election, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are ramping up efforts to appeal to a major voting bloc in battleground states: Latino voters. This comes as both major candidates are boasting hard-line immigration policies that impose harsh conditions on those entering the United States. "It will not be a solution for Vice President Harris to mimic Donald Trump's policies on immigration. In fact, she has to contrast," says Marisa Franco, director and co-founder of Mijente, who says Latino voters are not moving to the right. "What Latinos are doing is declaring their political independence from partisan politics. … Latinos are looking to see who is going to deliver."

I'm mexican. I work in construction. No one I know uses Latinx. The time spent coming up and pushing that word could have been better spent

Huh? Harris didn't even put forth any solution to the question that was asked whatsoever

Ban AIPAC & Candidate aligned with them, Keep TAX money for health care
"The Americans dying because they can't afford medical care” the Guardian “The Uninsured - Healthcare Crisis” PBS, About 44 million Americans have no health insurance, and another 38 million have inadequate health insurance. “Israel says it has secured $8.7 billion U.S. aid package” Reuters, September 26, 2024

Please, dont use that term "latinx." If Kamala and the Dems want to continue giving away the latino vote to the Right, then keep focus on identity, noun stuff like this.

Pretty pathetic response from Harris when asked an important question about people dying in the shadows. Harris didn't even address it. I hate trump.

You can just say Latin. You don't have to X out everyone, & not one single Latin person i know uses, or even likes to be called X. Please STOP.

Her plan is to continue to do the work that AIPAC is paying her. 6:39

After so much struggles I now own a new house and my family is happy once again everything is finally falling into place!!

[Trimexsoccer]

It’s Latino Vote..most Latinos don’t use the x

[Videomorgue]

Im sure trying to neuter their language will bring them over.

[FM-lnsb]

Both candidates are Far-right on immigration. Both are representing two fascist parties, Fascism Blue Team and Fascism Red Team.

[brownlog]

Why should we worry about health care for illegals if we don't have it for American citizens?

[georgemetesky]

Amy still saying "Latinx", after being asked by members of the Latino community not to!
She condescendingly ignores them.

[greggasiorowski]

"Harris's message" spit take, HA! That's a good one. 😹

[grahamjones]

Harris gets free medical care, housing and transportation.
That young lady's own mother was blocked off from better medical care. That just broke my heart, i hope that young lady and her family finds some peace in their lives.

[timmoore]

These are the worst candidates for president I can remember since 1968 and Nixon vs Humphrey.

[tonette]

That had to be the most insensitive answer ever out of Harris...not that anyone can expect sensitivity from Trump.They are seeing the Democrats as 'for management', as opposed to Republicans? Just shows that there is no difference and we the people are the last to be considered.

[oceantransistor]

Neither of those plutocracy neofascists are getting my vote. They will always throw the working class under the bus. Educate, organize and mobilize. Solidarity.

[meanderinoranges]

Don't confuse anti-immigration with anti-illegal-immigration.
