Juan Rivera voted for U.S. President Donald Trump, hoping that the president¡¯s efforts to rid the United States of illegal immigration would improve safety in the southern California city where the 25-year-old content creator lives.
Neighborhoods near Rivera¡¯s home in San Marcos that used to be frequented by migrants with ¡°violent tendencies¡± do feel much safer now, he said. But he also said he¡¯ll ¡°never forget¡± seeing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents pull over a truck of Latino workers and haul the men into their cars without asking for identification, leaving the empty truck behind.
Some of Rivera¡¯s family members work for U.S. Border Patrol. Other relatives who are in the process of establishing legal residency in the United States ¡°are scared of going to work because they fear that they¡¯re going to get pulled over by immigration,¡± he said.
