Hispanic Americans Support Trump Order Detaining Border Crossing Families Together

Almost half of Hispanic Americans say they support a plan now being implemented by President Trump’s executive order that keeps border crossing families in detention together while being prosecuted.

A June poll by the Economist and YouGov reveals that nearly five in ten Hispanic Americans, or 48 percent, said they support a plan at the border whereby the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) detains “families together in family detention centers until an immigration hearing at a later date.”

Meanwhile, the Democrats’ and Republican establishment’s plan to essentially end all border enforcement by releasing border crossing adults and the children they traveled with into the interior of the U.S. receives little support from Hispanic Americans.

Only 20 percent of Hispanic Americans in the Economist/YouGov poll said they support a plan that releases “the families and have them report back for an immigration hearing at a later date,” a program synonymous with the “Catch and Release” initiative, whereby illegal aliens are released into the country while they await their immigration hearings.

It doesn't matter what the U.S. Hispanic population thinks when White Democrats think something different.

When a person is guilty of a crime the children have never been sent to prison with the guilty parent. This is a whole new era for the US legal system. What is next?

Hispanic Americans are from Mexico. They understand what is going on. It's a shame so many Americans are ignorant to the real world of immigration. They understand that less then 17% of the children are even with family members. They understand that most of these children have been either kidnapped or sold as props for the smugglers to hand out. Or sold by their own families to the highest bidder.
According to the poll only 20% support catch and release.
President Trump is winning over the Mexican Americans is what is going on. This is making the democrats very very angry hence their sudden and very dishonest concern over the illegal children. Mexicans do not want the South Americans coming in especially illegally. It keeps their own wages low. I hear this over and over from Mexicans in the lower Sussex towns.
