Turnout by Latino question. Over 2.5 million deported since Obama took office.

Hillary could not have wrapped herself around Pres Obama any tighter if she was a skin graft. Truth of the matter is especially in high Latino areas it seems many Latinos would know about Pres Obama's deportation record.
Yes I know President Obama likely deported as many as he did in the service of getting a more comprehensive immigration bill through the GOP but that didn't work.
obviously this is even if I am correct only a small portion of the problem. I just wanted to know If others had an thought on this.

1. I beleive it played a factor. This is just acnecdotal, but I heard many people around me

saying that Obama had betrayed them on immigration policy, so why would they believe Hillary's promises

Also on the political shows on Univision and Telemundo when they had panelists for both parties, the trump surrogates would always, ALWAYS say that Obama had deported more people than anyone else before him. The Hillary surrogates could not, or would not argue the point with them, they just remained silent.

So yes, I have no doubt in my mind that the deportations played a factor in the Latino vote

2. But build a wall and kick out 30 million of them was a better choice.

3. What can I tell you? I supported Hillary a 100% and I trusted her that she'd take on immigration

reform on the first hundred days, like she promised.

But they? I don't know...perhaps their anger and sense of betrayal blinded them...perhaps they saw someone dear to them being deported, or saw a family torn apart by deportation and could not see beyond that.

I believe that among this group, they are now full of regret over their vote.

Now, there's this other group, who are self-hating Latinos who believe that voting GOP means they are white, Anglo. It is a strange phenomenon. For them, the regret will come later

4. Oh they're definitely going to regret it
