Summary
Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign has reignited fears among undocumented migrants with promises of “mass deportations” and migrant communities are bracing for uncertainty and a new wave of nativism.
His administration plans to target those deemed public safety or national security threats, potentially reinstating workplace raids and using military resources.
Advocates warn that “collateral arrests” could sweep up migrants without criminal records.
Many, like “Dreamers” protected under DACA, fear family separations, while others, such as Carlos in NYC, hope Trump’s economic policies might benefit them.
“A lot of Latinos, those who can vote, did so because they think he [Trump] can improve the economy. That would be very good for us too,” said Carlos, an undocumented Mexican who lives in New York City.
God, you people really can’t live without a boogeyman or a scapegoat. Y’all disgust me.
It’s not a scapegoat. I expected white people to vote for him. Minorities voting republican can always get fucked. If you’re part of the problem you’re equally to blame, but if you’re dumb enough to vote against yourself you’re a special kind of stupid.
