That's all long-since straightened out, but every time I see these people I think, you secretly think my spouse is a murderer/rapist or that they should "go back." Even if they think Trump's position on Latino immigration were flawed, they are still willing to endorse a person who has those opinions. Further, none of them has ever told me they don't agree with that part of his platform or opinions. The silence is deafening. Hard to avoid the conclusion that they agree.
I don't think I will ever be able to look at them in the same way. All trust is gone. So, I steer clear now. It's sad.
No but I think you should not sneak into the country and expect free education and other benefits
+1. My parents are immigrants. My Dad studied hard to get his PHD via full scholarship and then sponsored my Mom and me to this country. We sacrificed a lot by obeying the American law. My sister was over 18 at the time and she was denied. She came 6 years later by getting a full scholarship for her master degree. I'm sorry, but we worked hard to get here through proper channel and everyone should. We never leeched off American tax payers and we continue to contribute our parts to better this great country. My family therefore have no sympathy for people taking the shortcuts and then righteously demand American taxpayers to foot the bill. You want to get the benefits this country has to offer? You work for it.
Trump's message resonate with us. All of us used to vote for democrats, but voted for Trump this time around. Not supporting Hilary is a whole different matter as what she did resembles too much of what corrrputed politicians do from where we were from, above the law, dirty tactics, under table money, pay for play, backed by huge financial machines. We don't agree with all Trump's policies and can not support some of his behaviors, however, overall score wise, he came out on top.
You are disgraceful. The people coming here for work as house cleaners and farmers are often refugees- fleeing gang violence, extreme poverty, or war. They were not as rich as you and your father who could afford to go to school (for a Ph.D.!!!). Just because YOU had it easy (and trust me there is nothing here that indicates you struggled anymore than the average lower middle class person) doesn't mean these undocumented workers don't want to play by the rules. They just can't afford to or don't know how. Furthermore, even though they can find work here (and work really hard!), there is extremely limited ways for them to form here legally.
Your ignorant and selfish attitude is the epitome of every trump voter. And I dare say there is a great bit of racism too. You're an immigrant yourself, but you support a man who chants hateful anti-immigrant slogans at all of his rallies? Do you really think they care about you, or just see you as a bit of a convenient Uncle Tom?
As far as you not liking Hilary, this is not the politics forum so I won't get into that. But you might want to inform yourself of Trump's dealings with Russia, and his personal business dealings while president.
From one immigrant to another- maybe you should stop being so ignorant and selfish. You are a total and complete disgrace.
