they're voting Trump

An MSNBC host was stunned when black and Latino voters in crucial swing
state Pennsylvania revealed why they will be choosing GOP candidate
Donald Trump in the election.

Prominent host Alex Wagner met with members of the Black Republicans
Club of Philadelphia in the latest segment of her namesake show on the
weekend and asked why they were supporting the former president over
Vice President Kamala Harris.

One voter, who is from a Guatemalan migrant family, said that
immigration was his primary reason, claiming the crisis on the border
was making people like him 'look bad'.

'For us, like, seeing the new immigrants come in, it's just - they are
more violent, it is more chaos, they do more bad than anything, and we
have been here for longer than them,' Dorian Urizar told the host.

'And it is starting to affect us more, because like, stuff is getting
stolen, they are making us look bad, as immigrants, and we stayed longer
than them, and we have been getting more misrepresentation because of
them.'

that new incoming immigration was their primary reason - claiming it was
making them 'look bad'

He added that while he is unsure if he can support Trump's mass
deportation policy, he thought 'it's a good idea for the immigrants that
are coming in, because they are the problem'.

While Urizar displayed mix feelings, Pastor Philip Fisher voiced his
complete support for the controversial policy.

'I agree with the idea of mass deportation, largely. We have criminals
in this country who are destroying our nation, they are coming in here,
getting earmarked bills, policies to open up businesses, get free
housing, get access - easier access than those who are legally
immigrating to this country to welfare and other benefits,' he said.

'So, like, as a taxpayer, we have to pay for these guys to have luxuries
of life, and we don't get anything. Especially Black Americans, who have suffered so much in the system under Democrats. We don't get anything.
That's insane.'

Sheila Armstrong, another passionate Trump voter, agreed with the former President's long standing claim about 'illegal aliens taking Black jobs'

While Harris enjoys a healthy 14 point advantage from Latinos, it's much
lower than past Democratic presidential candidates

Voter Amsar Butt also voiced their disdain for the Democratic Party -
saying that the ruling party tends to take minority groups for granted

Sheila Armstrong, another passionate Trump supporter, agreed with the
former president's longstanding claim about 'illegal aliens taking Black
jobs.'

'Well, first of all, they are. They are illegal aliens. They are taking
jobs that belong to the citizens of this country. It is just the fact
that Trump is saying it out loud. That is why the fact that we rally
around, behind Trump, because at the end of the day, this is the stuff
we have been shouting out as a community,' Armstrong said.

'The part that is driving me crazy about immigration is the fact that I
feel, and I really do feel, that the Democrats are celebrating people
breaking the law. Why create the law, create a whole process for
immigration, for y'all to break it?'

Voter Amsar Butt also voiced his disdain for the Democratic Party,
saying that the ruling party tends to take minority groups for granted.

'They think Republicans are so out of touch with what the minorities
need so [voters] don't have a choice. I think that's going to be a big
surprise [on Election Day],' Butt said.

'A lot of people just walking down the street are not feeling the
Democrats.'

Robert Williams added: 'The Black men that don't vote for Democrats,
it's not what Mr. Trump did, it's [because] they have been disappointed
with [Democrats].'

'[Trump] doesn't take BS. He's not gonna hear it. He's a businessman.
He's not there for the fluff talk of politics. We need someone strong.
We need someone who's gonna get down to business and take care of what
this country needs. But also understands what the community needs,
Pastor Philip Fisher said

The discussion came weeks after an NBC/Telemundo poll showed a dip in
support from Latinos for Kamala Harris.

Support for Harris was at 54 percent, according to the poll, while Trump
had 40 percent. Six percent said they were unsure who they wanted to be president or would not vote.

While Harris enjoys a healthy 14 point advantage from Latinos, it's much
lower margin than past Democratic presidential candidates.

President Joe Biden had a 36 point lead with Latinos in 2020 and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had a healthy 50 point lead over Trump.

Former President Barack Obama had a 39-point lead over former Governor
Mitt Romney.

Trump earned higher marks than Harris on the economy, dealing with
inflation and the cost of living, and border security and controlling immigration.

Harris earned more positive ratings for competence, honesty, and having
the right temperament to be president.

Overall, 77 percent of voters in the poll said the economy was fair or
poor, while just 23 percent described it as excellent or good.

I work with a lot of naturalized citizens, most from Central America,
but a few from the Philippines. All of them say they are voting for
Trump for many of the same reasons listed in the article.

These sentiments are shared all over the country. Here in Detroit the
support for Trump has been noticeably increasing. When I wrote my book
"An American Paradox: The Unveiling of Donald J Trump Support from
Christians, African Americans, Latinos and Other Minorities in 2024' I
didn't expect mainstream media to take note of this phenomenon. Indeed,
the most peculiar thing in this election is that Trump is going to win
because of the Minorities support. The book is available globally on
Amazon if anyone care to learn of this interesting political reality in America.
