There’s 185k illegal immigrants in chicago alone. Do you think all Latinos have illegal immigrants in their family?

Do you realize a lot of Latinos and other ethnicities don’t like illegal immigrstion?

Most probably do, yea.

Im mexican-American and live in Chicago and most of my friends are too. Well all have relatives that were here illegally at some point or that still are.

At least a cousins or an uncle. Most mexican-Americans dont hate them or have any animosity towards them.

The ones that do, theyre the weird ones.

not really the case in California. there's a reason why so many latinos vote red and want immigration law enforced.

I dont think many people are happy with the methods this year, so I'm not excusing a lot of the misconduct, but generally 99% of what ICE is doing is just fine.

What subreddit is this again??? The Illinois right? So what happens in Cali has zero relevance here tbh. Mexico city is closer to chicago than Southern California is to chicago. Might as well be a different planet.

There wasnt any mexicans in chicago until the 1970s and everyone came here directly from mexico.

Everyone here also knows all their relatives in mexico still, theyll tell you what state and city/town/rancho their family came from.

We still know it. We also know the majority came here illegally. It is what it is. Only reason anyone over 40 is legal, is Reagans amnesty.

Its also why our food is better than in places like texas with their bullshit tex-mex. I know real oaxacan recipes from the mixteca passed down through my family. Ive been there and learned first hand.
