Mexican Laborer Has Heartbreaking Response To Donald Trump’s Cruel Remarks

Read Time:1 Minute, 36 Second

Donald Trump is the ringmaster of his own circus. Unfortunately for America he is appealing directly to his base when he bashes immigration and Mexican immigrants in particular.  He seems to have forgotten, or conveniently overlooked, the many things these same immigrants do for the USA.

“They’re bringing drugs, they’re bringing crime, they’re rapists,” Donald Trump said when describing Mexican immigrants during the launch of his presidential campaign June 16. These remarks were not received well. They prompted NBC, Univision and Macy’s to terminate contracts Trump, along with others, and induced public outrage.

But amid the furor, one Mexican laborer had the perfect response. The man was approached while he was working. “Hi, can I ask you something?” the interviewer says. “What do you think about that guy?”

The laborer looks up from his job. “Donald Trump?” he inquires. “That son of a gun who says we’re all thieves? Look, bastard, how we rape… these stakes! How we work ourselves to death just to eat.”

The man explains how more than 30% of his income goes to paying taxes, which supports and subsidizes the American people. “I make $1,100/week and the government takes $350 to feed your lazy, unemployed drug addicts,” he says. The laborer and his colleagues work in 115-degree heat and are “busting their butts in the sun… look at these guys, flooring a mile a minute.”

“Which drugs do you do?” the interviewer asks, alluding to Trump’s remarks on Mexicans.

“This is my drug, you bastard! This one’s my drug and this one’s my booze, fool!” the construction worker says, referencing his sledgehammer and his hammer.

The power of the man’s response is compounded by the fact he doesn’t stop working throughout the brief interview. He displays the very work ethic and integrity Trump alleged Mexican’s lack without saying a word.

Of course he doesn’t and I doubt he has the kind of contact with everyday life the rest of us have either. Funny I was just watching Ceasar Millan, a former “illegal” who is responsible for having created quite a number of jobs. When I built my house several contractors I used were Mexican immigrants and my current gardener and tree trimmer is from Vera Cruz and the hardest working man I have ever met. In my book, Anastasio is worth a thousand Trumps.

Mr. Self Made Man, of course inherited his wealth and business.

I have serious doubts that The Donald has any first hand knowledge of Mexican immigrants. Around here in the south most of the truly hard workers tend to be Mexican immigrants. If there is a roof being put on in 100 degree heat you can almost bet that Mexicans are up on the roof. When Trump eats his next salad he might want to think about the fact that most likely Mexicans picked the vegetables for it.

America Ferrara from Traveling Pants/Ugly Betty movie fame thanked him for bringing Latinos out to register to vote.

Nothing bothers this embarrassing buffoon. It might work to keep knocking out his pegs.

Wow! Now that’s one helluva response. Surprised I haven’t seen that on CNN.
