Trump

His racism against Mexican/Latino men, women and children should always be remembered in this famous quote.

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Pastor Martin Niemöller (1892–1984)

Immigration isn't going to solve the problems in Mexico and Latin America. Mexico is a perfect dictatorship of the PRI and an oligarchy of the Spanish elite. Nobody that supports immigration mentions what is going on in Mexico where people are being murdered for standing up for their rights. Nobody that supports immigration mentions that Americans need to support a civil rights movement in Mexico to break the Spanish caste system that exists in Mexico and Latin America. This caste system makes it hard for the poor people to have equal opportunity and eduction. You can't blame everything on the Untied States when these countries are run by corrupt elites that have existed since Spain ran the place. Why should these people have to leave their families and the country that they love to come here to clean toilets and live in the slums of America? The need people of the world to help them overthrow the Spanish caste system. I read about Mexico and it makes me angry that people aren't aware of what is going on there. When the pro immigrant people say that we need immigrants to do menial labor it reminds me of the Southerners during the Civil War defending slavery. Have spoken to people from Mexico about the immigration issue and they agree with me about supporting the Mexican people in their fight for equal opportunity.
