but, because of his immigration policies, they may not vote Republican again for a long time.

shithole told them what he was going to do. Plus project 2025-2028 outlined all the evils that continuous being implemented to date, and yet they still voted for him and the republicans.

Also knowing that the present Republican party are racists, liars, steal, cheat et al.

shithole is a criminal, pedophilia, killer, and that still voted for him.

As to the Arab community believing that Biden/Harris - genocide of the Palestine people, but who was" planning total control of Gaza "without the indigenous people, dead or alive" and is right now outlining in building upper class homes and resorts for the wealthy.
