Donald will lose the election
because he has never courted the Latino voters. Hispanics have been part of the
fabric of America for many years. We all loved Desi Arnaz in the old show I
Love Lucy and now we all love Sophia Vergara from the show Modern Family. We
love George Lopez and Jennifer Lopez. Even our Supreme Court Justice Sonia we
love. Why can’t the Donald say anything nice about Latin people? Surely he
needs the votes to win. Whether he likes
it or not, the Latino influence has become a thread in all of American life.
The Donald screams at his events that Latino’s are taking our jobs, our money
and our manufacturing. They are taking everything and the criminals are
crossing our borders. Are there any good Latinos?
The issues about the undocumented
Mexicans has become one of the most important ones this election. Mexicans have
been misunderstood throughout American
history. Before the American-Mexican War from 1848-1853 Mexico traveled up
through half of what is now half of California. In that case they did not cross
the border, the border crossed them. As America grew many did cross the border
only then there was no Donald Trump and they were invited. At the turn of the century Mexicans were
recruited to the mining industry and agricultural
jobs. By World War I and II America is
welcoming Mexicans to our mainland to do jobs that are now vacant because
literally every healthy man has gone to war.
Today we still have about 57
million Mexicans working in America. There are people doing research at the Pew
Research Center in Washington D.C. on the Latino workers. During the past 59
years the Hispanic population in America has more than quadrupled they found
from just 4% in 1965 to 18% today with California, Texas, Florida,
New York and Illinois with the most Latinos settled in. About 2/3rds of the
Hispanic population live in just those few states. So this epidemic that the
Donald is so afraid of doesn’t even effect the majority of Americans. Why is he
so upset and even willing to lose an election over a type of people?
Yes the growth of the Latino
population has so far hit the southern states now including Georgia but America
is a large country. It takes generations for people to disperse throughout a
country. The fact is that there are 27 Million Hispanics voting for a new
president too. It couldn’t be any worse between Donald Trump and Hispanic
voters. Over 70% of Hispanic voters feel
that Trump is a racist. The same thing happened in the last 4 elections.
Florida remains the possible tipping state. 25% of the population there is
Hispanic. Hillary has a massive lead over Trump with Hispanic voters. There is
an active voter registration group out there called My Family Votes trying to
get more Hispanics to even want to vote.
In 2012 Obama got 60% of the
Hispanic vote. They are hoping that Trump’s nasty remarks will entice more Hispanics
to vote and not to vote for him.
