Persuasive Speech Essay

Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders was attacked by two of the top Latino political figures. They accused him of taking the same anti-immigration stance as the Republican Party and said that he was absent for most of the important immigration debates. Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro said that Sanders voted against immigrants with the anti-immigrant

Hispanics in America, by doing this he can gain support from people who do not choose to

The Hispanic population in the United States has increased throughout the years, but so has the racism. Sad to say that many other races don’t like the fact that more Hispanics are migrating all over the United States. Donald Trump our 45th president of the United States has created more racism with his statements towards Hispanics. In the article from “The Washington Post” by Michelle Ye Hee Lee, mentions that there been many violent rallies with many people getting hurt, as well as many protest around the United States due to these words from president trump “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 us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people”.

An interview between the Inskeep, Montagne, Bush, and many more speakers are discussing there are a lot of illegal immigrants that come to America. George Bush states, “

For instance on July 8th of 2015, CNN host Anderson Cooper interviewed Donald Trump. The point of the interview was to address Trump’s statement “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

In addition to contributing to the country’s increased economic output, Latinos are influencing the nation’s political structure as well. Historically, this influence dates back to 1898 when the Spanish-American war “not only changed America, but announced America as a world power” (Balkaran). This skirmish, while fought against Hispanics, raised the United States to a position of global dominance, earning them political favor among existing world powers. In more recent history, the Latino-American community has served the role of the “swing vote” population in many battleground states: “The Viva Kennedy Movement helped elect one of America’s promising leaders, John F. Kennedy, as well as the election and recent re-election of America’s first African American president” (Balkaran). Political science professor Stephen Balkaran continues with this idea, stating, “Without the

Donald Trump’s outrageous remarks against Latinos and immigrants haven’t gone unnoticed by the Latino community, because words matter. But Obama’s recent decision to end the “wet foot, dry foot” policy for Cubans, reminded us that actions speak louder than words, and matter most.

First of all, although Latinos have a weak linked fate their mobilization as a group when it comes to immigration can bring the Latino community together to reach a collective end (Bowler, 39). This specific election already being very controversial with a Republican candidate with strong views on immigration may give rise to increased pan-ethnic sentiments to Latino voters who are politically conscious and prepared to mobilize themselves. As Donald Trump has repeatedly made harsh comments on Mexicans for being “killers and rapists” and for blacks and Hispanics being the reason for violence in America, the Latino community has had enough of being a scapegoat per say of America’s problems. With media being such an important medium for information and debate, here too we will see the priming of Latino community to inform themselves of the candidates and vote for one whom can relate to their needs as well as supports their concerns. The Jorge Ramos incident is an example of priming the Latino vote, for he is a well-known journalist whom the Latino public trust and with his recent confrontation with Donald trump at an Iowa interview the Latino community is being exposed to political attitudes. These events create an environment in which group identity and in-group saliency increase the political attitude of Latinos

In fact, Ramos once interrupted Trump at a press conference. Some people accused him of being an activist, but I think he sticks to doing his job, which is ask questions and speak for the people who can’t. Ramos’ commitment is entirely to the Latino community and, as a Latino myself, I always feel it is necessary to support our people and help them integrate in the community.

I had always had a preconceived notion that hispanics were a united community that supported one another and wanted their families and friends to migrate to the United States. The article states that about 90% of Latino Americans believe that English is necessary to learn (Leo,1). The article also discussed more of the ideal the Latino’s of today hold which was gathered in a survey by de la Garza the “National Political Survey” where Latinos are more likely to vote against their own and uphold the traditional American ideals. I was not surprised that CNN was making a dubious and politically generated claim on race and the soon coming oppression of white people. American television is heavily generated with political agendas which is the point Leo is trying to point

He spoke with a slight, yet noticeable accent and started his seminar with a little about his life and where came from. His passion for speaking about the view on Latinos comes from how the media portrays them. He really wanted his audience to walk away from this speech, with the view that all the illegal immigrants that came to America are not bad people. Also that the media, specifically Trump, paints them

Hays and Erford state that “undocumented U.S. Latino/as are most likely to be shut from economic, educational and physical wellness, and that is not mentioning the stigma that comes being termed illegal; creating a stress from fear of deportation”(323). Being Mexican is hard all together. There are constant battles and discriminatory acts from individuals who feel superior to the Latino community. The racist remarks and common stereotypes make Latinos look superfluous within the American culture. As of now, Alejandro states that he has not been discriminated to his persona. On the other hand, he has seen discrimination to individuals of the same race. His personal oppression comes from his legal status. It is common for individuals of

“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.”

Thank you, Ricky for your support; Jorge Ramos is an excellent reporter and an avid defender of the oppressed and did not deserve to be disrespected by Donald Trump. Mr. Trump may be a great business man, and as a Latina I had a lot of respect for him. However, my respect for Mr. Trump has disappeared since the moment he decided to further show hatred toward my people by humiliating or attempting to do so when he arrogantly attacked Jorge Ramos. Mr. Ramos is such a professional and has so much class that such attack only served to reinforce his support for our people. As Latinos/Hispanics we cannot allow someone like Donald Trump to destroy what so many honest and hard working immigrants -(not only Hispanics/Latinos) have worked so hard to

Jorge Ramos one of the most well-known journalist and most influential Hispanics in the United States was born in Mexico City on March 16, 1958. Starting off his career Ramos worked for the Televisa in Mexico City, a Spanish communications network where at a young age in his career he resigned to the news reporter position due to restrictions the Mexican government had on its networks. Jorge has always caused controversy in the communications industry due to his beliefs and different perspectives from society. However, the restriction gave Ramos the courage to keep on fighting for what he beliefs in which led him to write bestselling books such as “The other Face of America.” Also, Jorge was able to report to the world heart breaking event
