2016 Mountlandia Caucus
Leave it in the hands of the college undergrads of Mount Saint Mary’s University, better known as the great state of Mountlandia to vote in the presidential election, and it would be Bernie Sanders and John Kasich earning the highest polls for the Democrats and Republicans, respectively, in the 2016 presidential caucuses. The mock caucus took place in the student lounge on Thursday, April 7 where students, staff, and faculty joined students from U.S. Party Politics playing the role of delegates for a candidate in the current race. Finding out that I would be a delegate for Donald Trump after randomly drawing from a hat both excited

His comments regarding important issues have often been seen as controversial, and as a result, he has received attacks from the public, other political candidates in the race, and also some of his very own business partners. In regards to the issue of immigration and border security, for instance, he has proposed to deport every illegal immigrant back to their country of origin, build a wall at the border, and temporarily ban Muslims from the United States.
While his campaign has attracted many people, there have also been a great number of people who have expressed their sincere feelings about the likelihood of Donald Trump becoming president and are very concerned because he does not seem to be serious. The majority of his campaign has revolved around popular media sources, which has allowed him to do fairly well without receiving campaign contributions. Shortly after he announced his candidacy, he said the following: "When Mexico sends its people, they 're not sending their best... They 're sending people that have lots of problems, and they 're bringing those problems with them. They 're bringing drugs. They 're bringing crime. They 're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people." The media quickly focused its attention on this comment, which caused a lot of controversy and Trump having to
Donald Trump is focused primarily on helping Americans; he wants to ensure that Americans have jobs, wages, and security. In order to do so, Trump developed a “10 Point Plan to Put America First.” Trump wants to cease the mass immigration of Mexicans to America in search for work opportunities. If elected president, Trump wants to build a wall on the southern border of the United States, which will keep Mexicans out. Trump wants to make certain that any illegal immigrant is imprisoned and deported immediately. Trump does not tolerate any illegal immigrants in the United States and wants to make sure Americans are “put first.”
Donald Trump has voiced his strong opposition to Mexicans being in the United States; he even went as far as proposing the idea of building a wall separating Mexico from the US. According to Forbes’ article written by Dolia Estevez, “he wants to deport 11.3 million undocumented workers, 6 million of which are Mexicans, and strip babies born to undocumented immigrants of their birthright citizenship.”
Donald Trump’s signature topic during his presidential campaign has been illegal immigration. He has generated headlines and controversial remarks during his plans for change. In 2015, when he announced he was running for president, Donald Trump claimed Mexico was sending all their rapist and violent criminals into the U.S. (Gabbatt, 2015). He also called for the deportation of an estimated eleven million illegal immigrants.
April 2015 was the year Donald Trump, the Republican, announced to the public his serious interest in joining the 2016 presidency election. Trump 's highest interest is immigrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border, and states they are "criminals.” He blames the race of Mexicans of robbing Americans jobs, and treating Americans like babies (Miller, n.pag.). What he does not know, is that not all Mexicans are "criminals," and we are not robbing Americans ' jobs. Most of us come to United States to work our hardest, and get a better job. Trump not only is he a racist, but he also has made many unprofessional actions and decisions. We should not be voting for Donald Trump because his ruthless actions against immigrants are strongly affecting our society and segregating most races within each other. He can be a dangerous future president who is carelessly choosing between the white American and Mexican.Trump shows a high interest in segregation among all races and blames most of the unemployed by allowing Mexicans to “take over”.
I love whenever President Trump says something about Mexicans in any of his speeches. Taken from “Fear and Latino Stereotypes on the Campaign Trail” on Media Education Foundation, one such amazing quote is from Trump’s presidential announcement speech, in which he states that Mexico is “sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems [to] us. They’re bringing drugs, They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists.” I feel like I fall short of these views Trump has on Mexicans, but also as a Mexican American in general. Apparently, the correct way to view any Mexican man is to go by the fact that we are criminals.
Republicans are red, Democrats are blue. I will not vote for Donald Trump, will you? Me personally, I do not think Donald Trump should be president. Donald Trump has done many outrageous things, and I would like to consider running for president as one of them. Many would consider this a publicity stunt. I say he just wants to make a fool of himself. There is a time and place to take things as a joke, this is not one of them. It is as if Trump does not care about his overall presentation, In majority situations it is okay not to care what others think, this is not that. This is presidency, you are in a race to run the country and here he is being racist, and being selfish. If he does care about one thing it is immigration. That is probably the only thing he cares for.
Donald Trump recently announced his bid for the presidency. Sporting a net worth over $8 billion, Trump poses a real threat to his opponents. Or does he? Unlike his finances, his policy ideas are feeble at best. Most notably Trump's "Great Mexican Wall" is not only unfeasible but also alienates latino voters. Furthermore, Trump even calls undocumented immigrants "rapists." If Trump isn't hispanic-friendly his multi-billions are worthless.
“They’re bringing drugs,” Trump said in his campaign announcement speech. “They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists.”
Among the presidential candidates for the year 2016, Republican representative Donald Trump seems to have the most ridiculous and controversial campaign ideas. One of his more known campaign ideas has to do with banning Muslims from the United States. He generalized that all Muslims currently, or plan to act as, terrorists who will launch attacks on US soil. Building a wall on the border between US and Mexico is another well known idea of his, especially because he wants Mexico has to pay the cost for the wall’s construction. Even though politicians may paint immigration in a negative light, the United States relies on immigrants to help its economy, so it should not opt to throw them out of the country.
He feels like immigration needs heavy reform and restriction. One issue he wants to correct, is undoing the police limits the Obama administration created to detain illegal immigrants (ProCon). He also proposes the all too familiar ‘wall’. Like most extreme conservatives, he proposes extending and creating a strong enough wall to keep out illegal immigrants from Mexico.
He also wants to end birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants. He also wants to use E-verify to verify citizenship of employees in the U.S. and reduce foreign workers by promoting unemployed citizens vs. employing foreign workers. And one of his most known requests is to build a wall spanning the entire U.S.- Mexico border (Politifacts.com).
I’m writing to you today to express my concerns regarding immigration reform. Recently, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has made insulting remarks regarding Mexican immigrants stating “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.” When he speaks about Mexicans he is referring to the worst stereotypes of Mexicans. Although he is correct in saying that there are good people, according to a Washington post article, “a range of studies show there is no evidence immigrants
The 2016 Presidential Election has brought a lot of controversy due to negative statements about not only the United States but as well as other countries specifically focusing on Mexico and the border. Both Presidential Candidates, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton have both touched on the topic about Mexico and its border. However, Donald Trump has been the one with the negative statements about Mexico, the border, and their people. I am arguing about the lack of reliability of Donald Trump's statements throughout the Presidential Election about Mexico, the border, and their people. Trump had stated that, “Likewise, tremendous infectious disease is pouring across the border. The United States has become a dumping ground for Mexico and, in
Donald Trump’s views on immigration have been a part of who he is since the beginning. When Trump announced his presidential bid in 2015, he focused mostly on the issue of immigration. While the media can easily exaggerate speeches from presidential candidates, it is clear that Trump means what he says. Donald Trump’s presidential bid is a clear example of how he views immigration.
From the very beginning of his campaign trail, Donald Trump piqued America’s interest with his blunt and oftentimes shocking statements. With his candidacy came exclamations of making America great, building walls, deporting illegal immigrants, and keeping jobs in the United States. A Google search
