Who the Hell Are ‘Latinos for Trump’?
Daily Beast ^ | 09/15/2015 | Gideon Resnick

Posted on 09/15/2015 3:19:26 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

Only 20 percent say they support The Donald for president. We talked to a few, who even say they agree with him on immigration.

Trump will be lucky to win 20 percent of the Latino vote if he makes it to the general election, according to today’s polls.

He called Mexicans “rapists,” threw the most prominent Latino reporter out of a press conference, and wants to put his name on a wall running the length of the border with Mexico. Piñatas are literally being made out of him and selling like hotcakes in Mexico.

So who the hell are the 1 in 5 Latinos who are viva Trump.

Shawn Bambaro is a 39-year-old black car limo company owner in Miami, son of Colombian immigrants, and runs the “Latinos Support Trump” Facebook group. And he agrees with Trump on immigration.

“There has to be a process where illegals go back,” he said of Trump’s desire to initially deport all undocumented immigrants in the United States. “And like he says very clearly: is it going to happen overnight? Are we kicking down doors and taking mothers from babies? No. The media again wants to portray this image that ICE agents are going to be at every illegal’s door

Lhessa Lyons, a 41-year-old Trump supporter of Dominican heritage who is a research analyst for a government contracting firm, also says she is a fan of Trump's immigration plan.

Lyons said she never created a Facebook page for a politician until “Latinos for Donald Trump.”

“I’m not partisan. I try to vote for whoever I think is best at the time. I don’t consider myself a Republican or a Democrat.”

But she said she would vote for Trump in a general election, endorsing both his plans for undocumented immigrant deportation and the “Trump Wall.”

What a stupid, child like piece of garbage from yet another ‘hit’ piece on Trump...

Yup. The left is absolutely TERRIFIED of LEGAL immigrants becoming vocal in their distaste for illegals. It explodes their entire myth. I hope it happens soon.

Interesting. However, as others have said, Trump will be lucky to get 20% of the Latino vote.

I worked construction in Denver..2001…the legals hated the illegals….they would tell us if they were legal or not..if illegal they would work a week then we got rid of them…the mexicans were smart…there kids where all going to apprentices schools for plumber, electricians, act…the white kids were going to college to learn crap and not able to get a job..at the time most mexicans were laborers and cement workers…and a lot of drywall…

“HUH! How the hell can they vote?

Voter fraud.

It is pretty easy with absentee voting by mail.

Voter ID is forbidden in most states. Parties have lists of registered voters, and know who voted.

You only have to walk up to the voting booth and give your name and address, and you will be given a ballot most places.

Or, you apply for a ballot by mail, and they are collected by party representatives when they arrive at the post office.

A writer wrote a whole series of “how to” do voter fraud.

“The “Latinos “ that support Trump are the Latinos that love America more than Mexico.

They are your friend and neighbors. They are your co-workers.

They are the ones who speak English and are proud and thankful to live here and who respect our heritage. They are the ones who fought and died for our liberty. They are the ones who fly the Anerican flag on the 4th of July.”

I know quite a few. Lots of them would vote for Trump.

We have quite a few of the latter.

Back in the day, they came up to pick apples

Then Haiitians replaced them for that but a lot of them just never went home.

Still here, still illegal.

They have lots of spending money.

No idea how that happens.

He called Mexicans “rapists,” threw the most prominent Latino reporter out of a press conference, and wants to put his name on a wall running the length of the border with Mexico. Piñatas are literally being made out of him and selling like hotcakes in Mexico.

While I myself am not on the Trump bandwagon, even I will allow that this sentence is chock full of silliness. One wonders if (and how) the author wrote it with a straight face.

1. Trump said some illegal aliens coming from Mexico are rapists. That is most assuredly true. But he did not call every single illegal alien barging across the border a "rapist."

2. I haven't heard that he really wants to name the wall after himself. Maybe he said that, but if he did, I missed it. And even if he did say it, it was probably in jest.

3. This jackass obviously does not know what the word "literally" means. If they were "literally making pinatas out of Donald Trump in Mexico," then Donald Trump would no longer be among the living, alas, but what was left of him would be a pinata. In Mexico.

4. I'm not sure hotcakes sell very well in Mexico. They probably sell about as well as pinatas made out of people.

To get enough enemies that people are making pinata effigies out of you, is a backhanded compliment to the Donald. Since when have they done that towards any American politician?

Or, at least love sanity.

History does not always furnish ready analogies but suppose that chiefly the ruffians from the USA were those getting into Canada. If you, too, had come from the USA to Canada, would you resent or cheer a push back against these ruffians?

Also this:

“threw the most prominent Latino reporter out of a press conference,”

Well yes, because the jerk Jorge Ramos was making statements and talking and insisting on talking even when he was not called. Other reporters were waiting their turns to ask questions but Ramos kept butting in. He was asked to please give others a chance to ask questions, but he kept going and going.

How is someone like Trump supposed to maintain order?

Of course you escort the man out. Once he agreed to behave, he was allowed back in.

What’s wrong with that?
