CNN commentator Maria Cardona on Monday questioned why a historic number of Latinos supported President-elect Donald Trump in the recent election. I sparred with Giancarlo Sopo, who was the manager.
Cardona warned that despite Trump's gains among Hispanic voters, his plan to enact mass deportations of illegal immigrants would lead to “atrocities” and family separation, and that suggested it would lead to division and backlash among Latinos. Sopo said immigration was a top issue for Hispanics, and that a historic percentage of the electorate ultimately supported Trump over Vice President Kamala Harris.
“Immigration is listed as one of the top five issues for Hispanics to vote against Kamala Harris, so every poll you look at shows support for very strong border policies. I think that's very clear, because it's just common sense,” Sopo said. “And we simply cannot have millions of people moving around this country. Most of them are not tested, many of them have criminal records, and most of them I agree that you're here just because you want to work and you want to have a better life.'' , but we don't know that because we don't know who these people are. So I actually don't expect there to be a huge backlash against any kind of border security. ”
“Giancarlo, come on. You know better,” Cardona pushed back. “You know much better than what you're spouting right now. Our community is going to experience suffering, our community is going to experience cruelty, that's… That's not what anyone voted for. And in fact, I say to American voters, if the incoming Trump administration goes through something like this, these are the people they're going to go after. They're going to go after your classmates, they're going to go after the delivery guys, they're going to go after the people who take care of your kids, they're going to go after the people who work in restaurants, they're going to go after the business owners in your area. I'm going to chase it.”
Cardona argued that U.S. voters were not voting for the potentially multibillion-dollar cost of deporting millions of illegal immigrants who crossed the U.S.-Mexico border. President Trump has suggested that deporting illegal immigrants will hurt the job market. Sopo said the Hispanic community is “tired” of Washington, D.C., elites downplaying the illegal immigration crisis and trying to speak for Hispanics.

“The Hispanic community is tired of the elites in Washington, D.C., tugging at our heartstrings. Those heartstrings have been tugged, tugged, and torn so hard. We are so fed up with people that we can make ourselves feel better at cocktail parties that the murders of people like Laken Riley, while tragic, are just part of a tolerant society. is telling people clearly, you are not speaking on our behalf. And these Hispanic groups encouraged the party to call us Latinos just a few years ago. We must keep in mind that these are the same people who pushed Joe Biden to apologize for calling Laken Riley's killer a “Latino.” These are the same people. Illegal immigrants… Yes, Joe Biden apologized for calling Laken Riley's killer an illegal immigrant. ”
“Not a single Hispanic is offended by this. These groups do not represent our community. They are far to the left of the average Latino. We are not worried about pronouns, they are concerned about prosperity,” Sopo said. continued.
