    Immigrants like Jorge scare me. I have a gut feeling that Florida's conservative majority spawned from hispanic immigrants. It is scary because of what these immigrants let happen in their own country, letting dictators rise to power and I am afraid they are doing the same thing here in the US as soon as they get a chance to vote.

    I agree and would like to add that a lot of it is due to much tighter controls on messaging in the FL political and media platforms. All the mayor Spanish language sources are right leaning and color everything accordingly. Hell , local R politicians will straight-up lie about the National party agenda and there is no counterpoint to oppose their views.

    This is indeed part of it

    They also feel like one party owns the religious voice alone, and that is a huge part

    The ones who seem to come by and large seem to be much more against having a female in leadership or for president as well, which contrasts against people voting in many central and South American countries still who are able to put support behind women leaders

    I think there is a huge unspoken aspect of the rich country with money tends to attract the assholes, I don't feel say Canada gets as much of the same population through immigration, even though money and housing investment is a huge aspect, it doesn't seem to attract the same religious and social conservative mindset as usa seems to attract

    I personally don't think there is enough research into the who and why of people immigrate honestly and prejudice and having money or the ability to turn money into more money I feel may be some of the largest factors

    Ironically H1B visa holders also heavily skew Trump. Recent immigrants went through education systems that did not foster critical thinking and democratic principles, and they tend to be more well off, so combine the 2 and you get Trump supporters.

    No sympathy for these goobers. Immigrants who support Trump typically come from old school conservative, and religious backgrounds that are anti-choice and homophobic. Some are just naive enough to believe that conservative bigotry looks past their race.

    Also to the extent that you see this among Asian communities it is usually culturally different. Whereas LatAm people are Westerners like the rest of us, the machismo, the racism, etc are very very familiar to US Americans and we share a lot of cultural roots. Not necessarily the case with Asian recent immigrants who are on the right.

    Aside from the evangelical crazies who come here (ie a lot from Korea for example) the kind of conservative belligerence from recent Asian immigrants is different, not as obsessed with abortion or LGBTQ+ people, more about racism, caste and selfish opposition to taxation/anti-communist hysteria.

    Non-Christian Japanese for example, have very different societal perceptions of the fascist "culture war" bullshit unless they're indoctrinated by the American-based right. Mostly for them it's being in support of racial caste, classist, anti-communist, anti-China, militarily belligerent and "strong", and so on.

    However among the conservative Asian recent immigrant communities, many of them are fundamentalist Christians who chose here specifically because we are so tolerant of those assholes, and those people share the same bigotries and underlying context as every other fundiegelical (abortion, queer hate, etc).

    As usual it's complicated but I do view it differently from, say, the hard right Cuban cadre where they are basically the same as white rightists in America with some minor ideological tweaking and Spanish language knowledge.

    Jorge, which is not his real name, has asked to remain anonymous, but his identity and experience have been verified by the BBC. He said he obtained permanent residency in 2017 through the "extraordinary ability" category, which is reserved for professionals at the top of their field.

    Jorge agrees with the Trump administration that there should be "stricter reviews" of immigrants, he told the BBC. He blames the Biden administration for allowing too many immigrants into the country, and added that if he had been able to vote, he would have supported President Donald Trump.

    What concerns him, he said, is that long-term residents with no criminal history are now being "generalised" alongside people who he believes do require deeper scrutiny.
