This article gives insight into the seemingly contradictory attitudes about immigration among Latinos living in the US. It also highlights the inconsistent postions of the Democratic Party over the years.

Really excellent article that gave me a lot of perspective, thank you for posting this. Highly reccomend the read, its worth your time

But as Lorella Praeli, a president of Community Change, a nonprofit that works on building working-class and multiracial political coalitions, told me, “Democrats should be careful not to confuse Trump’s failures with their own success.”

God I fuckin hope they learn even a tiny bit for literally anything, but I'm sure as fuck not holding my breath
