Los Trumpistas: Meet the Latinos Supporting Trump

I was born in Chicago. My grandparents were born in Mexico, and immigrated to the United States. I am a Hispanic conservative republican woman. I decided to support Donald J. Trump because I think America needs a better defense, and more jobs. With Trump as president, I can expect strong leadership, and the preservation of the Constitution of the United States of America.

Ximena Barreto — Poway, California I was born in Bogota, Colombia and came to the country in 2006. It's a bad period for the States, too many homeless. America, it's not a safe place anymore. Too much immigration. If you do not have a visa in Mexico you go in jail, but not here in the States. Illegals will be feed and they'll give them a house, too. And with my taxes! Many companies moved to Mexico, the taxes there are lower than here and we are losing many job opportunities. Trump is a genius with money; he has more than 500 companies. He's saying what people want to say, but they are afraid to say!

I can't understand why Trump doesn't tell the Hispanic's "Why do you want to compete with people willing to work for $5 an hour?" Most illegals here in Texas work in construction. If you go to a job site, you will see them as carpenters, plumbers, brick layers, roofer's, electrician's ect. They work under a licensed journeyman, but they themselves are illegals. ICE can show up and they scurry like cockroaches. There are many that work on lawns, dishwashers, fruit pickers, ect, but they are in all work categories. The American Hispanics making $15-$20 an hour can't compete with the ones willing to work for nothing. Hopefully American's are figuring out they can't compete with someone willing to live with 20 others in a rent house driving one pick up with 14 others in the back. They aren't saving to send kids to college, or buy a new car, or buy their own home, or anything normal Americans think about. They send money back to Mexico to support their families back there.

I got to know one man that was a cook in a restaurant that admitted he had 2 Social Security numbers and got 2 paychecks in 2 different names. He filed 2 1040's to get back EIC for his fictional kids with several other Social Security numbers. He was willing to work for $5 and hour for real, but allowed his boss to show pay of $7.25 and hour for 40 hours while actually working 60-80.( yes I called ICE and they NEVER showed up) The scams are endless if you live around any of them.

Back in the crash, there were hundred's of thousands of homes foreclosed on with illegals on the note. A fellow worker of mine sold his home to one and the bank called him and said "hold on, we have a problem". He had given them a SS# that "didn't work". Listen to what the bank told him, " he's trying to come up with a number that will work." Instead of having the guy arrested for fraud, the bank was willing to loan him over $100k if he could just get a SS# that wouldn't get rejected. There are mills here in Texas that will get you SS#'s, drivers licence's, passports, insurance, or any other paperwork you need to live in the US. Is it fantasy to believe they are voting?

Trump should have an infomercial speaking on these topics. Hispanic, White, and Black Americans are losing jobs to these usurpers and it has nothing to do with racism. It has to do with slave labor willing to do anything and work for any money to not be sent home. How would you like to be a business owner with willing employees to do unethical, unsafe, and even illegal things without worry of a whistle blower?
