[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here. I am finding it hard to continue relationships with friends and family who voted for Trump. My spouse is a Latino immigrant who was brought here without papers as a child. 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.[/quote]

No but I think you should not sneak into the country and expect free education and other benefits[/quote]

+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. [/quote]
