The Democratic Party is great at capturing the minority vote. In fact, the Democrats have been great at telling Hispanics, African Americans and women that they should automatically vote for the Democratic Party. People are finally waking up and realizing that their values align more with the Republican Party than the Democrats. And that has people campaigning hard for President Donald Trump's reelection efforts.
"I look at President Trump as the one who most closely represents my values," 65-year-old Ray Baca, the Chairman of Border Hispanics for Trump, told CNN.
"People will hear that and say 'Values? What values does the president have.' So when you say 'values,' what do you mean?" CNN's Nick Valencia asked.
"I mean supporting things that I support, like being against abortion, being for limited government involvement, being for border security," Baca explained.
Valencia asked how Baca could support Trump even though he has "said racist things about the Hispanic community." But Baca disagreed.
"We don't think he's said things that are racist," the Trump supporter replied.
Democrats have continually cited the president's desire for border security and eliminating illegal immigration as him being "hate-filled" and "racist."
Many Hispanics, especially those who have immigrated here through the legal channels, appreciate that Trump has brought light to the issue.
That is one of the likely reasons 29-year-old Blanca Binkley, a Mexico native, voted for President Trump in 2016. And she plans to do the same again in 2020.
"We need to get our Hispanic brethren to quit voting Democrat simply because that's what they've always voted," Baca told a small group of conservatives.
Interesting
The questions that CNN’s Nick Valencia asked reveal that leftists think Hispanics are stupid. They aren’t.
As an aside, I used to know a woman in Albuquerque named Baca. Her family has lived in the central NM area since before there was a Mexico and before there was a United States of America. She despised illegal aliens.
ping!
Mexicans and Mexican-Americans are socially conservative - it was just a matter of time before they started asking themselves what exactly they have in common with the Democrat loons. This is a culture that values and respects strength - the likes of Jeb Bush giving them Democrat-lite in Spanish was never going to work. A strong, conservative leader will.
Great to see.
And those living here often realize that the newcomers drive down their wages while competing for resources. Open borders make THEM poorer.
Huh.. Juan Abamillo, Juan A. Badillo, Carlos Espalier, Gregorio Esparza, Antonio Fuentes, and Andrés Nava were martyred at the Alamo. Probably due to their white privilege. (sarc)
Really?
She became a US citizen 5 years ago.
Hispanics (legal) are some of the most conservative people I’ve ever known. Just my observation.
“Hispanics (legal) are some of the most conservative people I’ve ever known. Just my observation.”
Yup. My niece’s husband is Puerto Rican and a proud member of the Teamsters’ Union. He told me on Christmas Eve that he is voting Trump as are most of his family, friends, and colleagues. He was born in Puerto Rico and raised by really great parents in a housing project in the Bronx. When I asked him about his conservative values, he said that the DemocRATS and MSM “assume that we are all from a liberal clan — we are not.”
RE: Really?
Perhaps, she was born and grew up in Mexico but came here LEGALLY. There are such people.
It is simple.....Legal immigrants hate illegals...the GOP never gave Hispanics a reason to vote for them...they loved illegal immigration as much as the democrats....
As someone once said here: When Hispanics start to vote Republicans, the Dems swill want a wall...
I think that was Rush, among others...
