The grand myth that Americans of Hispanic descent
are all in for Hillary Clinton is just that: A myth. Here are testimonies from Americans who care
about this country and why they’re against open borders and illegal
immigration.

I always carry a bullhorn with
me to rallies and campaign events. Into it I shout: “America, wake up!”
Americans have been asleep for way too long. We need to realise that the future
of our country is at stake.
If we don’t elect Donald
Trump, we’ll get another four years of Barack Obama and frankly, I don’t know
what would happen to this wonderful country of ours. Obama has already done so
much to destroy our way of life and Hillary Clinton is promising to carry on
where he left off. Like Obama, she wants to change our fundamental values – the
ones people like my father fought to defend.

My father was born in Durango,
Mexico. When he came to the US he joined the military and served as a medic
during the second world war. He was a very proud American – he truly loved this
country. I think I got my sense of patriotism from him.
Obama and Hillary Clinton want
to have open borders. They let illegal immigrants cross our borders and now
they want to accept thousands of Syrians. We don’t know who these people are.
If they want to come to this country, they have to do it the right way, like my
father did it.[…]

I was in primary school in my
native Colombia when my father was murdered. I was six – just one year older
than my daughter is now. My father was an officer in the Colombian army at a
time when wearing a uniform made you a target for narcoterrorists, Farc
fighters and guerrilla groups.
What I remember clearly from
those early years is the bombing and the terror. I was so afraid, especially
after my dad died. At night, I would curl up in my mother’s bed while she held
me close. She could not promise me that everything was going to be all right,
because it wasn’t true. I don’t want my daughter to grow up like that.
But when I turn on my TV, I
see terrorist attacks in San Bernardino and in Orlando. There are dangerous
people coming across our borders. Trump was right. Some are rapists and
criminals, but some are good people, too. But how do we know who is who, when
you come here illegally?
I moved to the US in 2006 on a
work permit. It took nearly five years and thousands of dollars to become a US
citizen. I know the process is not perfect, but it’s the law. Why would I want
illegals coming in when I had to go through this? It’s not fair that they’re
allowed to jump the line and take advantage of so many benefits, ones that I
pay for with my tax dollars.
