“My culture is a very dominant culture, and it’s imposing — and it’s causing problems,” Marco Gutierrez of Latinos for Trump told Joy Ann Reid. “If you don’t do something about it, you’re going to have taco trucks on every corner.”
I hope that the Trump campaign is paying him a lot of money; he won’t be allowed to live in a Hispanic community. He is making the claim that Latinos would not contribute anything to our nation other than food. He is insulting their intelligence and ambition. Young Hispanics are no different from their Caucasian counterparts; they want to go to college and have a career. Apparently Mr. Gutierrez joins his boss in believing that the Latin community is incapable of anything but crime, rape, and now maintaining a ‘taco truck.’
Some Hispanic supporters withdrew their endorsement of Trump after his immigration speech failed to support their community.
“He used us as props,” said Jacob Monty, who resigned after Mr. Trump reverted to his fiery language on immigration Wednesday night after returning from Mexico, where he had struck a more measured, even subdued, tone.
Mr. Gutierrez supports Donald Trump’s claim that the Mexican people who come to the United States illegally are not “suitable.”
“When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best,” Mr. Trump said in announcing his campaign in June 2015. “They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”
Mr. Gutierrez is the worst kind of racist; a traitor to his own hard-working people, who contribute to the American way of life; but he apparently denies this fact. I question whether he knows another Hispanic in our nation. Has he always lived like Trump; out of touch with the majority of Americans?
I count six times when Trump has flip-flopped on his immigration plan. Many of those times his speech was so full of conflicting words I had no idea about what he was attempting to say.
It’s a little late in this exceptionally long election year to make attempts to garner the votes of minorities, women, or religions other than extreme Christians. We know who you are and who you are not Mr. Trump. You are not going to be my president, even if you win the election. You do not represent me or my idea of what America represents.
