Hispanic voters are “tired” of illegal immigration and Biden-Harris administration policies, the wife of a retired Border Patrol agent said, as a new poll shows the Former President Trump leads Vice President Kamala Harris by 11 points in this key demographic.

“I think the Democrats did a great job campaigning for the Trump administration,” Irene Armendariz-Jackson said on “Fox & Friends First.”

She explained how the rise in illegal immigration has angered Hispanic voters who entered the country legally.

“I think America has opened their eyes, especially the Latino community, the Hispanic community. We’re tired of seeing these people coming in…they’re taking advantage of the situation. We’re tired of spending money money for them,” he added. over $571 billion has been spent on these people,” she said.

Armendariz-Jackson, whose parents came to the United States legally, wondered how the immigration system could be broken if many families like hers could make the journey.

“How is it that millions of people have gone through the process and are now here legally, including not only my brother, my parents, but also my brother-in-law?” she asked.

The former Texas congressional candidate added that people who come here illegally are “wasting their time” and believes they will be deported if Trump is elected president again.

According to an internal memo sent to Border Patrol agents in the El Paso, Texas, sector obtained by NewsNation, members of the Sinaloa Cartel are now authorized to shoot at agents.

According to the memo, contractors working in Eagle Pass, Texas, reported receiving gunfire from the Mexican side of the border, and workers saw several people in Mexico, where the gunfire was coming from. No injuries were reported.

“We need to make sure America understands that this is unacceptable. We have a lame-duck government that will do nothing if they shoot and kill a Border Patrol agent. I can assure you that the Biden and Harris administration, we won’t do anything,” Armendariz-Jackson said.

Harris lost support among Latino and black voters in the seven weeks between polls. The new poll finds that Latino voters now support Trump 49% to 38%. Black voters prefer Harris 72% to 17%, but that 55-point advantage is significantly less than the advantage Democrats have traditionally enjoyed.

President Biden enjoyed overwhelming support from Black and Latino voters four years ago. A Pew Research Center analysis found that 92% of Black voters and 59% of Latino voters supported Biden in the 2020 race.
