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.
