Trump made a strong stand in favor of border security and trade deals
that benefit Americans, saying that nations like China and Mexico are
eating our lunch because our leaders are poor negotiators.
He also repeatedly attacked the Mexican government, whom he said
sends the worst of their citizens across the border into the United
States to wreak havoc on our population.
He accused the Mexicans of having helped stoke the outrage against him after
his controversial remarks on Mexican illegal immigrants, sending in protesters and influencing Univision to
end their deal with Trump.
The
most compelling part of his speech for many, however, was when he asked
Jamiel Shaw, the black father of a high schooler murdered in cold blood
by an illegal immigrant, to appear on stage with him to share his
story.
Shaw’s son, Jamiel Shaw, Jr., left home for a football-related
activity and was gone for hours before his father called to see where he
was. As he was on the phone with his father explaining that he was just
around the corner, Shaw was shot dead by Pedro Espinoza, an illegal
immigrant and gang member who had just been released from prison. Shaw’s
father heard the shots over the phone.
When Shaw was found, he had a shot in the gut, the hand, and the
head. Authorities determined that he must’ve been lying down, covering
his face with his hand when Espinoza shot the fatal bullet to the head.
Shaw, Sr. remarked that this was the original “hands up, don’t shoot.”
Espinoza had been brought from Mexico illegally when he was 4 and had
not been deported, even though he had been in trouble with the law
three times for gun crimes. Shaw explained that the Mexican gangs order
their members who have just been released from jail to immediately
commit another murder, to get them back into the habit of killing and
keep them from being “rehabilitated.”
Shaw praised Trump for making his bold stand against illegal
immigration, saying that he and his family felt hope for the first time
after the real estate mogul made the remarks that someone was finally
shedding light on this critical issue. He added that he has been talking
to other blacks and many of them are they are ready to vote for Trump
in 2016.
Donald Trump represents what Americans are so desperate for: a
straight-talker and non-politician who’s willing to talk about the
issues they care about without regard to political correctness or the
vanilla rhetoric typical of those trying to get elected to office.
After hearing him live for the first time, I’m not at all surprised
that his political campaign is gaining traction. He excited even the
libertarian-leaning audience and received a standing ovation at the end.
Perhaps Trump’s candidacy will show the Washington politicians that
it’s time for real talk on real issues.
