We all know Trump is an idiot... But do we? From the looks of the GOP polls it seems like he's the genius and we're the idiots. Out of 16 Republican candidates, Trump is taking the lead. Based on his slanderous remarks on Mexicans and John McCain's hero status, you'd think he would be riding the bottom half at least. However, while the left wingers find him comical, to the conservative party, he's no joke. And the Republican candidates are not exactly catching the drift. For example, commentator Froma Harrop states in her My San Antonio article that not backing the immigration reform has Republican candidates in trouble. Sadly, the radical(*cough* racist) republicans heard opportunity knocking through Trump’s absurd accusations, and though he lost some followers with his McCain comment, he still held onto many for his audacity. Now that he’s got the popularity vote, it’s up to the rest of the GOP to bring him back down. See, without their backing of the immigration reform, Trump is now on a whole other political platform, AND they just lost half of their conservative followers to Trump. Now, he could consider switching over to third-party candidacy, which would pull even more support out from under them.
Now I lean pretty liberal on most issues, and you can see me dead before you see me vote Trump for President. However, I will say Froma is not wrong. While I am all for our government equally and legally integrating immigrated latinos into our schools, job markets, and communities, I do think a stronger immigration system is direly necessary. Before I even started college I was hearing all the horror stories of students paying hundreds of thousands for a degree that only gave them a world of brutal competition and scarce job openings. Our modern medicine is growing more and more potent, which means longer lifespans. Texas economy is much more affordable than others, which is drawing many US citizens here, not including the thousands of now undocumented citizens. For example, the population of Austin, Texas alone grew by 2.9 percent from 2013-2104. It would be nice to imagine us being one big happy family here, but I just don’t think it’s possible without some major economic. With less people, maybe we could raise minimum wage and get more unemployed citizens working. As From a said, Americans have a right to an orderly immigration program. I think stricter immigration regulation and financial and educational equality and legality among currently undocumented citizens would do Texas, and our country a lot of good.
