To the Republicans or conservatives (right wing): What is your opinion on Trump?

TBH: He took more action than some previous presidents. However, I do believe he is a bit radical. At this point, we know he loves to use exaggeration when he speaks, not that he is lying, that is just his character. But, in my opinion, although using his executive power to claim a national emergency IS CONSTITUTIONAL (read your constitution kids), could he have used that money to improve border security? Create more jobs for ICE, and make Mexico's new president to improve asylum conditions.

That is how I view it. I am Hispanic so immigration is a bit of a cliff hanger for me.
Opinions and facts are opened. I am very open to opinions.

I'm Hispanic as well and I'm for the wall and actively enforcing immigration laws. I don't see why people think it's racist

@xRedx I don't either. I know the benefits of the wall since countries like SPAIN have a wall to keep away illegal immigration from Africans. But I guess what I am seeking is whether or not it would be better to use all that money for ICE and border security.

@xRedx I REALLY hate when (usually upper middle class white) people say being againt illegal immigration is racist and insulting to Hispanics.

Illegal immigration is such an insult to everyone that did it legally. Turning it into a race issue is just using Hispanics for their own talking points. That's what's really racist to me.

Quite the opposite. I appreciate paying them less than minimum wage and no workers comp or health insurance. @Anon066

@xRedx Mainly because the face of illegal immigration is put forth as Latino when there are people from all over the world here illegally, often those who simply let work or student visas expire. And Trump has said specifically that he wants more European immigrants, both as a private citizen and as president. He has brought European immigrants over in the past, and has had problems with the “paperwork”. And, of course, there was the comment last year about “sh*thole countries”. If one looks at his past as a whole it adds up.

@SW-User Because they have no legal residency. Think of it this way. If someone enters your house without consent, would you still give them all the benefits? Free rent and etc? I think it is not unethical to know who comes in and out of the country. Lol health insurance. Had it until Obama proposed his BS insurance and took away the one I had because I was "high middle."

@bijouxbroussard That is why we need to enforce immigration laws more strict. I honestly don't care what percentage is making more of a dent, anyone staying here illegally is in fact a criminal and should be apprehended accordingly. I think people are fixated too much on the wall in how you specified. It's also for the sake of national security.
