In general election polling against President Joe Biden, Donald Trump isn’t just increasingly cleaning up in swing states. The former president has a 14-point lead over the incumbent when it specifically comes to immigration, according to a new Harvard-Harris poll, and Mexicans are apparently missing the Republican thanks to his strength on the issue.
“Trump, he started rough,” said Roy Rosales, a Mexican chef in El Paso, Texas, to Politico. “But now that you see it, when Biden came in, he messed everything up.”
“It’s getting really bad with a lot of the people coming in,” said Daniela Simental, another Mexican immigrant in El Paso. Her husband concurred, “Everything’s gone to s***.”
Simental did not vote for Trump in 2016 but said she now wanted him back in the White House.
