U.S.-bound migrants say the election doesn't matter: 'You're going to suffer whoever is president'
Story by Patrick J. McDonnell • 12h

In a forlorn stretch of high desert outside Mexico City, a dozen migrants trudged along beside a set of railroad tracks, hoping to jump on a freight train that would take them closer to the United States. They said they were only vaguely aware of the U.S. presidential election — which was a just few days away — and their role in it.
 
“I don’t know much about American politics,” said Santiago Marulanda, 38, who had traveled from Venezuela with with his wife and two children and hoped to make it to California. “Whoever wins, wins. But I know this: Whoever the victor, things won’t be easy for us as immigrants.”
 
Illegal immigration has been one of the biggest issues in the presidential race. Former President Trump has vowed to deport millions of people he routinely describes as "invaders" and "criminals" — and Vice President Kamala Harris has pledged to reduce illegal entries.

How many of the invaders do you think actually are familiar enough with the election to make that statement?  Not many.  That sounds like an "interpretation" by the writer. :yowsa:
