"Hispanics for Trump"

I, too, have felt ashamed for how many Mexican-Americans are rabidly pro-Trump.

 

What do they know that we dont?

As a white male, I say screw Trump.

 

I personally think you must hate your heritage a bit to be Hispanic and vote for Trump but I think I can understand where they come from. I think most of the Hispanics voting for Trump are Hispanic immigrants who came to the US legally and hate that illegals are "stealing" their opportunities. Some of my dad's close friends are voting for Trump (all Hispanic) and that is what they said. They also think that because they came from poverty and succeeded on their own without any government help, others shouldn't receive any help either as it isn't fair. I don't agree with their views but that's just how some Latinos that are voting for Trump think.

 

I feel the same!

But :lol: at all the delusional bitches.

 

I don't see how voting preferences can change anything about one's heritage. God forbid someone think differently.

 

My dad's friends immigrated from Cuba. And the other is Dominican, like my family, and he also was born in the Dominican Republic. Yeah they have family in Latin America, but like I said, they want things done the "legal" way. They are blinded by their obsession with things being "equal" and others not taking advantage of the system. So it's not just Hispanics that have been in the US for a long time, unfortunately. However, I think these Hispanics are a small minority and hopefully us Latinos that don't want him to win will do our part in the election.

 

As a Mexican American, I never crossed a border and my family has been in the United States since this was a part of Mexico. The border crossed my family not the other way around, several times: Mexico, Republic of Texas, Confederacy, USA. So you have great diversities within even the Mexican American community.

I am a 5th generation Texan/American and I speak fluent English and Spanish, and have little culture of Mexico in me, who won't vote for Trump.

 

Its a shame you cant stand someone having a different opinion to you :roflmao:

besides some Hispanics for Trump would find your statement saying they're not hispanic 'so offensive'

Yeah... I've seen groups sometimes advocate for people or mindsets against them in several cases and it never ceases to confuse me. In fact there's a good bit locally, and I can't help but see it as self-destructive.

My family came over from Italy "illegally"(I'm not sure if there was such a thing in the 1930's), and my grandmother on my mom's side's family fled here from Nazi Germany. Again, probably not legally. I'd feel like a hypocrite voting for someone with such a harsh stance on immigration. If it wasn't for illegal immigration, I probably wouldn't have been born in the first place.

But to be honest, there's a whole host of other reasons not to vote for Trump...

 

There are actually a bunch of Mexicans who support Trump as well as black supporters, and Jewish supporters, and Christian supporters. Politicians never exclusively draw in one race, religion or group of people.

 

I'm so confused. You have to have family in Latin America to be Hispanic?

 

Trump isn't anti-Hispanic, he's anti-illegal immigration. Whether you want to believe it or not, there are people of every ethnicity, race, and culture who support Trump. It is a multifaceted issue. Maybe some of them think illegal immigration is a threat to security, or maybe they just really dislike Hillary, maybe they're Republicans who feel strongly about their party, or they agree with him on issues other than immigration. Most of the time, it isn't about hating an ethnicity. You should probably listen to both sides of an argument before making such broad, egregious assumptions.

A lot of people would probably think it's offensive that you would say they can't identify with their culture, which might mean a lot to them. You can criticize their beliefs without denying a part of who they are.
