I got to speak with a German reporter at Deutsche Welle for their Spanish-language section on the topic of recent memes depicting "regretful Latino Trump supporters" being deported.

I emphasized that Latino voters are by definition not undocumented:

Mississippi has a bill introduced (HB 1484) that:

1. Makes "being an illegal alien" a felony, punishable by LIFE IN PRISON
2. Deputizes "illegal alien bounty hunters" and pays $1000 per person incarcerated
3. Creates a "labor board"

Absolutely disgusting

💡NEW PUB ALERT💡Nathan Chan and I just published our paper about the political effects of anti-Asian views! Anti-Asian views held in 2016 actually increased the chances of someone switching from a Dem vote in '16 to a GOP vote in '20.
