Hispanic voters who came to the country legally are \u201cnot for people just coming over the border\u201d illegally, Goya Foods CEO Bob Unanue says.\xa0\n\u201cNo,\u201d Unanue said, when asked whether former President Donald Trump\u2019s border policies would cost him the Hispanic vote in the 2024 presidential election.\xa0\nThe CEO is a longtime supporter of Trump and was thrust into the political spotlight four years ago after stating publicly that the U.S. was \u201cblessed\u201d to have Trump as president. The remark triggered calls from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, D-N.Y., and others to boycott the Goya brand, which sells its products in the U.S. and many Spanish-speaking countries.\xa0\nThe boycott failed, and \u201cbusiness has been great\u201d since then, Unanue says.\xa0\nUnanue remains a vocal Trump supporter, and in his new book, \u201cBlessed, Donald J. Trump, and the Spiritual War,\u201d he explains why he thinks Trump is the leader America needs at this moment in history.\xa0\nThe chairman of the Hispanic Leadership Coalition, Unanue, whose grandfather immigrated to America from Spain, joins \u201cThe Daily Signal Podcast\u201d to discuss the biggest issues on the minds of Hispanic voters and why he is an unapologetic Trump supporter.
