Pete DeBrasca misrepresented a Cato Institute study by conflating Hispanic attitudes with immigrant attitudes to argue that immigrants do not value free speech.
So this dude is like, he's against illegal immigration. He's also against legal immigration. He does not give a fuck. Close the borders, make it white. So the pitch he's in the middle of here is trying to demonstrate that the fundamental rights that Americans have are not valued by immigrants. But what he's doing is actually misusing statistics. There's no reason for him to cite statistics about Hispanic attitudes towards free speech and then apply that to immigrants. He has absolutely no way of knowing what proportion of the Hispanic people in that study were born in the United States or citizens or immigrated here. He's just conflating Hispanic with immigrant, which is kind of the point for people like him.
