• Trump a notamment indiqué qu’il souhaite, dès sa prise de fonction le 20 janvier, expulser jusqu’à 3 millions de clandestins  
 
Cette mesure concerne les “criminels”, les personnes ayant des antécédents judiciaires, “qui appartiennent à des gangs, qui sont des trafiquants de drogue”, a affirmé Donald Trump. Après avoir modéré son discours sur plusieurs dossiers majeurs depuis sa victoire, le magnat de l’immobilier est ainsi brutalement revenu à la ligne dure de sa campagne.

Most Latinos Voted for Clinton, but Why Did the Others Go for Trump?

By some estimates, 29% of Latino voters cast ballots for a man who called Mexican immigrants ‘criminals.’ For some, economics and anti-abortion positions trumped insults.

Latino civil rights organizations have been warning for months that Donald Trump’s negative remarks about Americans of Hispanic origin could lead to violent attacks. In the weeks before the election, Latino activists worked around the clock to get out the vote in Hispanic communities and prevent Trump from being elected. They promised that the “sleeping giant” of the Latino electorate would awaken and tilt the polls in Hillary Clinton’s favor.
But not only did Clinton lose, according to exit polls a significant minority of Latino voters cast its ballot for Trump — even though he had called Mexican immigrants “criminals and rapists.”
According to a CNN exit poll, 29 percent of Latino voters cast their ballots for Trump, compared to 27 percent for the Republican candidate in the 2012 presidential election, Mitt Romney.

“I’m very happy today. I tried to maintain a positive attitude because in my heart I knew that he has potential. He is a very smart guy,” says Mayra Orozco. She owns three quinceanera boutiques in the area, supplying the frothy dresses for the traditional 15th-birthday celebration for Latina girls as well as wedding gowns.
“Trump will help small businesses, so that we’ll all be able to help our families,” says Orozco. She says Trump’s comments about immigrants don’t disturb her. “No, no,” she shakes her head decidedly. “He is the best for us. Now we can expect more.”

Other Oak Cliff residents who spoke to Haaretz also emphasized the importance of the economy and speak approvingly of Trump’s being a businessman. According to exit polls cited by the Pew Research Center, 46 percent of Hispanic voters said the economy was the most important issue facing the United States, followed by terrorism (20 percent), immigration (19 percent) and foreign policy (11 percent).

But Jaime, a 20-something Dallas man who did not want his last name published, says he voted for Trump for religious reasons. He says all his friends are evangelical Christians who also voted for the Republican candidate. “I wish there had been a different candidate, neither Clinton nor Trump, but Hillary is pro-abortion and pro-gay. I don’t have anything against gays but God said marriage is between a man and a woman. Clinton thinks a fetus is just a cell even though in the New Testament it says that God knows us and is with us from the moment we are created, from the moment the fetus is in the woman’s belly. I don’t think Trump is really against abortions — it’s not first place on his agenda, but Clinton and Obama took active measures for abortions. Trump will presumably work only on fixing the economy, and that’s good for everyone.”

Jaime adds that Trump’s remarks about Hispanics didn’t hurt him at all: “You could say I’m a mature Hispanic,” he says with a laugh. “Trump talks in a hurtful way and he hurts people, but not me.”
A salesman in a store on Jefferson Boulevard, Oak Cliff’s main commercial street, in the Hispanic neighborhood, appears exhausted as he watches the news. He prefers to remain anonymous and asks his teenage daughter to translate his remarks from Spanish. He explains that Clinton’s and the Democrats’ support for abortions is what prevented his many friends from voting last week: “They didn’t vote for Hillary. Yes, I know a lot of people who stayed home because of that.”

It is still difficult to determine just how many Latinos voted for Trump. Only next year will a comprehensive survey on the issue be published. The Hispanic vote “was no doubt a record, but we have to wait until April or May to have the definitive figures,” Mark Hugo Lopez, director of Hispanic Research at Pew, said in an interview to AFP.
Lopez estimated that of the more than 27 million registered Latino voters, fewer than half — some 13 million — actually cast ballots.

But in Florida, Trump received 400,000 votes more than Romney had from Latino voters. Trump swept the Cuban-American community in that states, which leans Republican and opposes the thaw in relations with Havana under Obama. According to the polling and research firm Latino Decisions, 52 percent of Cuban-American voters in Florida cast their ballots for the organization’s poll. That organization is one of a number that have challenged the exit polls, and it found that nationally, support for Trump among Latino voters was just 18 percent.

Gerardo Robles, a first-generation Mexican immigrant community activist, is already trying to reconcile the sides and is calling for a show of understanding. “A cousin of mine voted for Trump but he was in the army and I think that for him it’s connected. I don’t know. ... There are Hispanics who have been here for several generations now. Maybe they voted with their American identity, not with their Hispanic identity.”

In 2014, Wisconsin passed a strict photo ID law requiring voters to show specific, restrictive forms of identification at the polls.4 It is significant that only 27,000 votes currently separate President-elect Donald Trump and Secretary Hillary Clinton when 300,000 registered voters in the state lacked the strict forms of voter ID required.5 Wisconsin’s voter turnout was at its lowest level in two decades.6 Voter turnout in Milwaukee, where 70 percent of the state’s African American population lives, decreased by 13 percent;7 this meant 41,000 fewer votes. Milwaukee Election Commission Executive Director Neil Albrecht reports that the voter ID restrictions depressed turnout, saying “We saw some of the greatest declines in districts we projected would have most trouble with voter ID requirements.”8
 
Wisconsin’s photo ID law was initially struck down by a lower court,9 but it was upheld by the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals based on the state’s assurances that free IDs would be provided.10 The Wisconsin government failed to live up to its promise, and the court intervened and ordered the state to take steps to ensure that no one would be prevented from voting on account of the voter ID law.11 Despite these efforts, the law prevented several identified people, as well as an untold number of other registered citizens, from casting their ballots.12

A record 6.1 million Americans are forbidden to vote because of felony disenfranchisement, or laws restricting voting rights for those convicted of felony-level crimes. The number of disenfranchised individuals has increased dramatically along with the rise in criminal justice populations in recent decades, rising from an estimated 1.17 million in 1976 to 6.1 million today.
