I’m not advocating for who to vote for come November; however, I will be voting for the best candidate for the job. I do not agree with anyone 100% nor am I 100% happy with the character of any of the candidates. If I find I am 80% okay with their platform and character, it will be enough.
A lot of people will say the election or voting doesn't matter, and while I was seriously disheartened with how the 2020 election went, I will vote because if we do not have voting, we will have absolutely no representation. I will at least try and pray my vote gets counted and not cancelled out through invalid counts.
I am an immigrant who started out with a green card as a child as my parents were both granted green cards for nursing. I studied for the naturalization test, was interviewed to assess my character, and paid the application fee. I followed all the rules and happy to call the U.S. my home. I have relatives that waited over ten years before they could immigrate to the U.S. following the rules. Even one when was married to a U.S. Citizen had to wait. It infuriates me that people are allowed into the country with their first step on the ground as breaking the law. No. Follow the rules. Wait in line without sneaking in. Do not give green cards just because someone has graduated from college. I once worked as an online tutor, there were many college students wanting to pay tutors to do their assignments or complete their class projects and even thesis work! Reality is a college degree can be bought alone. I decided to only tutor working professionals but eventually quit tutoring because of being blackmailed by a college student wanting me to complete their thesis project or else they would leave a bad review.
Debate the issues and decide on who is the best and not perfect person for president because there is none and all those who are levelheaded and pure from head to toe will likely get railroaded in the process. Pray common sense and integrity will overcome. Pray to be the Constitutional Republic that we should be. Pray that our borders will be protected in the same vein that we protect our own households and we respect our neighbors boundaries. Pray for the ones who recognize that it is Boundaries that allow for variation and preservation of culture, different priorities, lines of thoughts, and help keep peace and out of war ... and NOT the naivete of all being under the total control of a One World Government.
Affirmative action, dreamers, amnesty, Naturalization, I-693 form I've lived through it all and it matters to me as I was born in Mexico to an American mother. My mother was born in Texas at the border so by birth right she was considered American at that time. My Grandpa was hired to follow the agriculture seasons for years if not decades. In the minutiae of all this, immigration laws mattered to me and still do. Ironic my step daddy was and still is now a INS certified physician. I guess lay people would say he is a immigration physical doctor and is the point of service to make sure all the vaccines are in order, along with an HIV/RPR and TB test and possible CXR depending on TB reaction. I remember being no more than 12yrs old and my step daddy Dr. Gomez was already an INS certified physician. Fast forward to now, I've never ever ever been vaxxed, and all vaxxes suck. What we have today is sickening. Back in the day this immigration dilemma thing was really heavily weighted towards Mexicans, so it's nothing new to me. I bet people wish now, it was as tame a issues as it was back then. Believe me all the good smart Mexicans now in Mexico, don't want to come to U.S. to live permanently. This problem we have now is entirely different. We are being toppled from the inside. God Bless
It is good and right that immigrants who came in legally should get loud about the destructive travesty that is our current southern border policy. Dems want new votes. A strong clear message from this constituency might snowball and help sway the prevailing insanity.
