Question to the Blog…..Are You Supporting Trump?

 

Interesting question…..the answer is simple – I can’t support Trump.

 

Trump hates immigrants.  My grandfathers were immigrants. These men chose America for my family and I understand that it’s my job to keep America the same way for other men who want to be like my grandfathers. You can choose to say, “Well these people are different.”  I assure you, my grandfathers had the same belief as these men – “America will be better.” 

 

Didn’t you guys hear the Pope? His message was clear, “take care of immigrants.”

 

Trump didn’t make his own money. He took his family’s money and built from that.

 

Trump didn’t pay his bills and didn’t pay people who did work on his buildings.

 

Voting for a reality television star doesn’t appeal to me.

 

And you don’t hear me saying vibrantly, “I’m with her either.”
I wish I could say that, “I’m with her” but I don’t feel that either.  I am watching and listening.

 

I’ve voted for unpopular candidates before. I am aware the winning candidate doesn’t always understand the message, but after an election everyone looks to see how many people voted against the winner.

 

By November, a choice will be clear.

Hugs,
marlene

    I came across this blog searching for an update on Christopher Vallaro. On this question I have point out something very clear – Trump is not anti-immigrant. His mother, former wife, and current wife are all immigrants. Saying he hates immigrants is flat out wrong. He’s also not racist. He’s never said anything about race, except that when he says he loves blacks and latinos. He’s against illegal immigration, big difference. Do you know how long it takes to get naturalized immigrating legally to the US? Many decades. That’s why legal immigrants dislike illegal immigrants, they take short cuts not available to them.

    There are many legit reasons to not like Trump for president, but “he hates immigrants” and “he’s racists” are not legit.

    Good points JD. Did I do a fair story for Vallaro? The guy has been tried in the court of public opinion even though the whole tape hasn’t been released.

    I never called Trump a racist – I know people have, but I haven’t.

    Since Trump knows the immigration system is broken, as the President, he needs to fix it. The solution doesn’t lie in building a wall.

    Trump insults an entire nationality because he is angry at terrorists. I am angry at the terrorists too. I am also a teacher in Brooklyn and my students are from various ethnic backgrounds. They shouldn’t have to hear THE President of the United States insult their culture. When I was a kid we talked about the presidents dogs and cats, not the president’s level of hate.

    People come to America today for the same reasons my grandfathers did. They do it illegally because they have families and just want a better life for their children. Once they are here, it’s time to make them citizens, get them working and get them to pay taxes.

    Didn’t you hear the Pope ask us to show some compassion for refugees and immigrants?

    If Trump came out with a fair plan for immigration, I think he may win some votes.
