    For our ‘‘Hispanic’’ friends out in Gringoland, they see themselves as ‘‘the good ones’’, as part of the American Project. They see their brethren as illegals, too, and believe them all to be ‘‘Tren De Aragua’’, or narcos or terrorists and petty criminals. It’s the old, ‘‘I got mine, fuck you’’ attitude our good Americans here know better than me. We must also take into consideration that plenty of our gusanos end up in the states, and like every diaspora living in the US, the loudest are the chuddest. This is no accident, as they assimilate into gringoness through observing the McCarthyan dogma, and some of them come from our own reactionary cesspools which in turn get their ‘‘culture’’ from US propaganda.

    I think there is also the element of ‘‘Yeah, bro, I’m MAGA, deport those illegals’’ as a means of defense. However, we know that when the ICE comes, it won’t matter if you voted for Trump or Kamala, they’ll come for you, and you’ll have nothing but a ‘‘Fell For It Again’’ award, cognitive dissonance you can decide whether to face or ignore, a free ‘‘Mental Gymnastics’’ course in assuaging yourself that ‘‘it must be a mistake, the system is fine’’, a free ride on ‘‘This Is NOT What America Is About’’, a full-course meal at the ‘‘One Nazi On The Table’’ buffet, a free ticket to the ‘‘Leopards Eating Faces’’ zoo tour, and a grand ol’ soirée in ‘‘The Land Of The Free’’ brought to you by Alligator Alcatraz.

    The survey, conducted by polling firm Cygnal…

    There’s no link. I find the article impossible to believe. Could I be wrong? Sure. But the entire narrative is based on that mysterious data from Cygnal - whatever that is. Also - I have no idea of the differences between a poll and a survey. My wild guess is that a survey is far more squishy and the data can be manipulated more easily.

    If there’s a poll from a reputable source that confirms what Cygnal found - I’ll admit to being wrong. But the article smells like shit.

    I didn’t need to write all that. I forgot to scroll to the bottom first. :(

    Rebecca Shi, CEO of the American Business Immigration Coalition, said on June 17: “We need Congress and the administration to go further with real solutions, and that’s work visas for people who’ve lived, worked, and pay taxes here.”
