The Democratic Party is great at capturing the minority vote. In fact, the Democrats have been great at telling Hispanics, African Americans and women that they should automatically vote for the Democratic Party. People are finally waking up and realizing that their values align more with the Republican Party than the Democrats. And that has people campaigning hard for President Donald Trump's reelection efforts.
"I look at President Trump as the one who most closely represents my values," 65-year-old Ray Baca, the Chairman of Border Hispanics for Trump, told CNN.
"People will hear that and say 'Values? What values does the president have.' So when you say 'values,' what do you mean?" CNN's Nick Valencia asked.
"I mean supporting things that I support, like being against abortion, being for limited government involvement, being for border security," Baca explained.
Valencia asked how Baca could support Trump even though he has "said racist things about the Hispanic community." But Baca disagreed.
"We don't think he's said things that are racist," the Trump supporter replied.
Democrats have continually cited the president's desire for border security and eliminating illegal immigration as him being "hate-filled" and "racist."
Many Hispanics, especially those who have immigrated here through the legal channels, appreciate that Trump has brought light to the issue.
That is one of the likely reasons 29-year-old Blanca Binkley, a Mexico native, voted for President Trump in 2016. And she plans to do the same again in 2020.
"We need to get our Hispanic brethren to quit voting Democrat simply because that's what they've always voted," Baca told a small group of conservatives.
