On Immigration, Hispanic Americans Support Trump: ‘This is my country, and I want it to be safe’

David Harris Jr

More and more Hispanic voters are supporting President Donald Trump’s “America First” agenda, despite 2020 Democrat hopefuls’ claims that they will decriminalize illegal border crossings, essentially having an open border, to increase immigration into the United States.  Talk about professional pandering.

A group of Hispanics were interviewed by the Albuquerque Journal who said they support Trump’s immigration agenda to end illegal immigration, and they support building a wall.

That’s because Hispanic voters are no different from anyone else who understands that illegal immigration is killing our country, despite Democrats claiming the border crisis is a manufactured one.

“I believe in the wall,” Trump supporter Marcella Trujillo Melendez told the Albuquerque Journal. “I believe in security. This is my country, and I want it to be safe.”

There you go.  A true American patriot who gets it.  Melendez understands the president isn’t being racist, doesn’t hate migrants.  He is just trying to fix a decades-old problem that is out of control, thanks to politicians from both parties who have a personal interest in keeping the flow of illegals coming into our country, in many ways, at our own citizens’ expense.

“The most important thing to me is that I believe he truly loves America,” Melendez continued. “I believe that he knows his job. His job is to put America first. He’s not the president of the world.”

A Harvard poll shows that even though Hispanics continue to vote as a majority for Democrats, they support Trump on the issue of immigration.  They are against the immigration plans of Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MAO) and former vice president Joe Biden (D-MARS).  Hispanics want less immigration, and like most other Americans, they don’t think the taxpayers should be stuck owing immigrants a living.  They believe immigrants coming into the country should be able to sustain themselves and not have the taxpayers foot their bills.  Like most Americans, Hispanics believe in a safety net, but not a safety hammock.  And Hispanics by 73 percent said they are against illegal aliens being able to vote.

From Breitbart:

A majority of 56 percent of Hispanic Americans said they support denying green cards to legal immigrants who are found to be a burden on taxpayers because of their use of welfare. Another 65 percent of Hispanic Americans said illegal aliens should not be allowed to take welfare.

With his agenda of less immigration and increased border controls, Trump won more Hispanic Americans in the 2016 election than failed GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney did in 2012. For the first time in U.S. history, due to immigration, Hispanic Americans are set to outpace black Americans as the largest voting minority in the 2020 presidential election.
