On why Hispanics voted for Trump

A fact of life – those who have an investment in something, take better care of that which they have invested in than those who don’t have an investment.

Case in point; In general, parents who purchase automobiles and other things for their children, find that their kids beat the crap out of those vehicles or other items because the children didn’t have to work or sweat for that car or item.

Generally, children whose parents make them get a job and buy their own car, see their children take care of that car or item because the child knows what it takes to purchase it.

As a parent, I have seen this myself in my own kids. Again, this is pretty much the rule, although I assume there are a few exceptions.

The same holds true for our immigration policy. Those who come here illegally, don’t feel the investment into our country the way someone who has gone through all of the hoops does. How can they? How can they appreciate what it takes and means to become a citizen of the United States? They break our laws right off of the bat. They take away our ability to discern who we let in. I cannot think of any other country that allows unrestricted immigration. In fact, as a disabled man, I could not become a citizen of Canada unless I was very rich. That is a fact! Canada will not take anyone they deem to be a burden on their social services. Look it up if you think I’m kidding.

CNN ran a story tonight wondering why so many Hispanics voted for Trump. The answer they got over and over was that they themselves came here legally, and that they have little sympathy for those who came here illegally. CNN just doesn’t get it. Those who came here legally understand the investment in their citizenship and they scoff at those not willing to make the same investment. It’s like paying for something and watching someone else steal it.

This argument has been terribly twisted by the left. This argument isn’t about immigration as much as it’s about legal immigration. Trump has never said that he would stop legal immigration. Regarding the Syrian situation, Trump has never said that he would never take another Syrian again, but would instead stop it until a system is in place to ensure that only those who will come here and accept our laws and way of life, get in. What’s so wrong about that?

Yes, my family is a family of immigrants, but I can tell you for a fact, as I’ve done the genealogy, my family came here legally, and I would expect all other immigrants to come here legally too.

I should add, the same thing can be said about our veterans. Our veterans have paid the price for the American Flag and this is why you won’t see them out there torching or stomping on the flag. Our veterans have an investment in that flag and they take much better care of it than those who haven’t.

Guaranteed – nearly every person who see burning or stomping on the American Flag have never paid the price for it. That’s why they don’t take care of it.
