Trump hears at a Latino campaign event from someone who lived in the US illegally

A panelist at a Donald Trump campaign event in Nevada admitted to the former president he had come to the U.S. illegally, and later said he supports a pathway to citizenship for some immigrants under similar circumstances.

Trujillo described how his lack of legal status made him feel uncertain about what he could accomplish, but how he “had to make the best of my life.” He said he graduated from high school, got married and had two children, now 12 and 5.

He opened a restaurant that he said is struggling due to the high cost of labor and goods, and said he was hopeful Trump would usher in better economic times.

“I’m happy with the opportunity that Trump has again to run and hopefully get us back on track,” Trujillo said. “I think there’s room to make America greater.”

But it’s okay, he’s a citizen now. It happened… let me check… before Trump was president.

“I’ve got mine, fuck you” once again.

    Afterward, Trujillo said in an interview that though his parents overstayed their visas, they achieved legal status. Likewise, Trujillo has been a U.S. citizen since 2011.

    He said he has come to understand Trump’s vocal opposition to those entering the country illegally due to concerns about drug and sex trafficking.

    This is a very stupid man. I think we should rescind his citizenship and kick his ass out. Not because he was previously here on an expired visa, but because his inability to reason is jeopardizing the country with his dumbass vote.
