Jonathan Zimmerman: What one immigrant taught me about the election

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : "Trump is strong," Gopal told me.
36% : If Trump is elected and moves to deport 11 million people, as he has promised, wasn't Gopal afraid that he'd be rounded up with them because he's an immigrant, and a racial minority to boot? "Not in the least," he replied.
34% : I don't think I changed his mind about Trump.
33% : If you're a native-born American who says immigrants shouldn't like Trump, Gopal said, you're assuming that you know their interests better than they do.
33% : I don't share his confidence; to the contrary, I'm terrified that Trump will try to overturn the election.
30% : I was baffled to hear that because I regard Trump as deeply anti-immigrant.
27% : Tell us why things will be better for us if she defeats Trump.
26% : Despite what Trump says, immigrants are not the central cause of gun violence, long wait times at hospitals and all of the other problems he has blamed on them.
25% : I also said that Trump had denied losing the last election and was likely to do the same if he lost again.
23% : I've heard Democrats say that the growing number of Latinos who support Trump are victims of "internalized racism" because they turn his prejudices against themselves.
18% : Trump left the White House, and Joe Biden replaced him, Gopal said.
17% : I disagree deeply with them about most public issues and -- most of all -- about Trump himself, whom I regard as a bully and a charlatan.
