Here illegally? It’s your own fault
After reading several articles in The Bee on May 27 regarding Donald Trump’s visit to Fresno, I realized just how fearful undocumented aliens are in our Valley. They have fears about being sent back to wherever it is they came from and for this reason, they are anti-Trump. They voice this loudly but with no good reason.
If someone is in the U.S. illegally, then he or she can expect a problem to arise whether it be from Trump or another agency altogether. Blaming Trump for the fact that they either entered our country illegally or were brought here by someone else illegally is ridiculous.
It only shifts the blame from themselves to a candidate who wants to stop the tide of illegal entry into the U.S. The key word here is “illegal.” If someone really wants to be a citizen, they can do so the “legal” way as many others have already done.
I get tired of listening to the same rhetoric over and over about blaming Trump for the woes of those here illegally. It’s not his fault, it’s yours.
