@mekkaokereke@hachyderm.io There's some nuance missing here. There are two main reasons these folks work for the government. Latine folks who work for #CBP, #ICE, etc. consider themselves #Americans, and their attitude tends to be similar to #suburban #white / #anglo #Texans; they are #legal. They are nth-generation Americans because where their ancestors lived became part of the #US — especially in #Texas #Florida, #California, #Arizona, and #NewMexico. The other reason is that people from many South- and Central-American countries fall under the Latine/Latinx/Latino/Hispanic umbrella. Folks with Mexican heritage can totally want to deport gamg members from other Spanish-speaking countries. It's a self-image thing. You and I and the US Census may consider them to be Latine, but they see themselves as Americans. I'm not excusing anyone. #ACAB This is part of the 1% agenda of creating division.
