‘Trump is our wakeup call’
Raul Rodriguez, 74, Apple Valley, California
I always carry a bullhorn with me to rallies and campaign events. Into it I shout: “America, wake up!” Americans have been asleep for way too long. We need to realise that the future of our country is at stake.
If we don’t elect Donald Trump, we’ll get another four years of Barack Obama and frankly, I don’t know what would happen to this wonderful country of ours. Obama has already done so much to destroy our way of life and Hillary Clinton is promising to carry on where he left off. Like Obama, she wants to change our fundamental values – the ones people like my father fought to defend.
My father was born in Durango, Mexico. When he came to the US he joined the military and served as a medic during the second world war. He was a very proud American – he truly loved this country. I think I got my sense of patriotism from him.
Obama and Hillary Clinton want to have open borders. They let illegal immigrants cross our borders and now they want to accept thousands of Syrians. We don’t know who these people are. If they want to come to this country, they have to do it the right way, like my father did it.

I would think so.
One of my favorite quotes from those interviewed: Donald Trump is not just saying what he thinks people want to hear, he’s saying what they’re afraid to say.
Trump is basically repeating Bill Clinton’s stance on illegal immigration, as articulated in his 1994 State of the Union Address. The lefties will backpedal and say “But the country has changed; it’s irrelevant!”. I say, BULL!!!!!
“One of my favorite quotes from those interviewed: Donald Trump is not just saying what he thinks people want to hear, he’s saying what they’re afraid to say.”
Exactly right.
Many people don’t focus on the fact most Hispanics in America, are native born citizens.
And most that I know identify first as American.
1) My wife came to this country illegally and is now the most pro-Trump pro-close-the-border of anyone in our family. We are a nation of immigrants who say:
Now that I’m in, close the door.
2) Hispanic Patriots met in NE Atlanta burb last Tuesday. In the primary they were 50-50 Cruz-Trump. (Nobody for Rubio, Bush, etal.) Now they seem to be 100% Trump.
