Read all about it. News flash. Just read about what Trump
Posted: Mar 19, 2016
Just hearing and reading about this today. Thousands and thousands of Latinos are rushing to apply for citizenship here to vote against Trump. In Texas they have 750,000 who are eligible for citizenship, in Arizona the number is around 139,000. One lady who has been in the US for over 20 years is now applying for citizenship. Most say the cost of becoming a citizen has been their main drawback, that being $680.00 but now even the legal ones feel threatened by what Trump has spouted off about. Trump not only has the republicans higher ups wanting to see he does not win the nomination but now he has the Latinos gathering strength to push back. ;
Amazing the HATE people are feeling towards Trump - while calling him a HATE MONGER. LOL

Some people have definite issues. Hoping a Latino somewhere is waiting to take your job at a cheaper wage. After all, they could not afford $680 to become a citizen. They must work at very cheap wages.
Wonder who is paying the $680 the Hispanics could not afford before? Special interests who do not want an anti-establishment candidate they cannot control win the presidency. What are they AFRAID of?
LOL
Uh I could not afford the $680 to - become a citizen

Can any of us true MTs? Not a dolla to spare, for sure. Thank goodness I already am a citizen.
I will be voting for the same reason Latinos want to. You want a party who is for the worker it is NOT the Republicans, that's for sure.
The reason the MTSOs have been allowed to pick our bones dry is the deregulation of labor laws combined with pro-offshoring/outsourcing REPUBLICAN agenda.
We need to get those right wing SCOTUS judges out too. Because of Citizens United along with above mentioned deregulation all the money the Koch Bros et al should be paying in taxes is going to buy themselves candidates and entire local governments all over the country. No thanks, Kochs. I wish they would get out of this country.
All political parties are corrupt - It is the nature of the "game"

Wasn't it a Democrat who signed NAFTA? Once you realize politicians on BOTH SIDES are crooks you are ahead of the game. If you continue to buy their lies and point the finger at the opposite party as the reason your work is going to India, you cannot fix the problem. Divide and conquer is the politician's game. They rely on the ignorance of voters who choose a side and vote accordingly. Politics is like a wrestling match. Big talk, fake moves and it is nothing but a show.
Who would pay the $680. I know one who - would

I have a dear Hispanic friend who is in the US without her papers. She has children born here who are citizens. I would in a heartbeat pay for her citizenship, no problem, so if I would as a Caucasian, maybe the Latinos have good friends like me.
This is - clearly

Clinton's game. I read about this months ago where she was going to allow illegals to vote, because she knew that was the only way she could win the election and become president. It is happening, just as she wants it to happen. Non-citizens should NOT have the right to vote in this election... not that it is going to matter any, because the general public is NOT going to be the one to decide the election.... the electoral votes, delegates and superdelegates are going to decide the vote, and it has already been decided. Clinton wins! Same as how Obama won both of his elections....cheating.
Amazing, just amazing. I never knew that - a nominee could have

that much power to be able to "give" thousands the ability to become citizens to vote against a particular person. These, for the record, would not be illegals but rather citizens just like me and you. I am loving this story, just loving it.
Hillary - Can't make up my mind. - Stupid, shady or both
[ In Reply To ..]
I think she is in competition with Bill. She will do anything to win the presidency. She sets up a private e-mail server. She barks like a dog. She lied to families whose relatives were killed in terror attack. She was quite sure Bill's cheating with various women including Monica Lewinski was a right wing conspiracy.
Is she stupid, shady or a combination. Whatever is going on in her mind, if it is shade, incompetent ignorance or trying to beat Bill at the president game, she is not fit to be leader of the United States.
How could they vote this November? It takes longer - Truthhurts

than a couple months to become a citizen. Are the states doing something different to push them through the system or is this another spoof by oddball "news" sites? Did you read any of this from legitimate sites because I couldn't find any serious news sites spouting this.
I don't believe they can get citizenship by November.
Anyway, I doubt the cost of doing so didn't stop them. They got all the freebies while illegal, why should they want to pay to become a citizen if they had all the goodies handed to them?
It has been on CBS, NBC news and also Huffington Post - even Google carrying the story
[ In Reply To ..]
So, I would not call these oddball "news" sites. Do you know any Latinos that get the freebies as you describe because I know some people here, not citizens, and I do not know of their receiving freebies. I just talked to a friend tonight and she was talking about filing her taxes, not a citizen. Do not ask me how she files but she definitely files. I know another family close by that receive absolutely zilch in freebies, no insurance, no food stamps. All in all I know a total of 13 Hispanics and not one fits the picture you paint of taking just freebies.
A followup on the Latinos applying for - citizenship to vote against Trump
[ In Reply To ..]
Only documented immigrants can apply for citizenship, and the process takes around five months. Enough time to be ready for the final showdown, in case Trump gets on the Republican party ticket. I am reading that over a million are eligible in this regard. Places are holding workshops and letting people know how to navigate the road to citizenship.
Yes, it is only for documented immigrants who have been...sm - VTMT

eligible for citizenship but have just not applied for one reason or another.
Brought to you by the office of whine and moan. I thought immigrants - came here for a better life
[ In Reply To ..]
but it's obvious it's just to expand the Democrat base. They needs dependent people to keep the party going.
Just to expand? Not really as some of these - people have been here
[ In Reply To ..]
some 10, 15, and even 20 years or more. You see, when Trump alienated them (along with various other groups, including Jews, women, etc., etc.) even Latinos here legally were determined not just to sit back but rather group and do something about it, therefore the push to register as many as possible to vote against Trump.
It Has - Been
[ In Reply To ..]
my understanding that there will be a new law indicating that "illegals" will be allowed to vote without becoming a citizen first. The bill has already been presented by Clinton, so I can only assume that it will happen by the time of the election. She figures this is the only way she will win, is if the illegals can vote. I personally am totally against this.
These people are becoming citizens in - order to vote against Trump
[ In Reply To ..]
You can Google this, the story is there also. These are people who have been in the US for years but never got around to becoming naturalized. When Trump came out about the "rapists, murderers" even legalized Latinos were totally aghast so a grass roots came into play and people who could become naturalized in a short period of time are doing so. It takes about 5 months for people who are eligible to become naturalized, thus having the ability to vote just like a citizen here.
This.is BS! "Illegals" will never be allowed to vote....sm - VTMT
[ In Reply To ..]
for president. It would take a Constitutional amendment requiring approval of all the states.
Maybe if you read about who is becoming naturalized - you could understand what is happening
[ In Reply To ..]
No one is talking illegal. These would be naturalized citizens and have the ability to vote just like any citizen born in the US. I heard there are 750,000 people alone in Texas who are eligible to become naturalized and that is just 1 state, just think of all the other states. Overwhelming numbers. This story is all over the news.
Why shouldn't they become naturalized if they are eligible? nm - VTMT
[ In Reply To ..]
.
What I am talking about is becoming - naturalized, legally becoming citizens
[ In Reply To ..]
Not undocumented and I say good for anyone who wants to go this route. No crying here.
I Understand - That...
[ In Reply To ..]
but even if they do become naturalized, will there be enough to vote Hillary in?? well, she is going to be voted in anyway, as per the predictions even from a year ago, but the illegal aliens being allowed to vote will cinch the deal... and I do not think that illegal aliens should be allowed to vote. That is the argument.
I had not heard anything about illegal being able to - vote, this is the first
[ In Reply To ..]
I do not see how that would be true because you have to be a citizen, or so I thought. From what I heard this weekend, there are 750,000 alone in Texas who are eligible for naturalization and it takes about 5 months to reach naturalization. With his own "party" desperately trying to withhold his getting to the White House and with top leaders saying they would rather give the presidency away, I would know they know more than the average person and they don't even want him. I will say this, I personally have a friend who is not legal (yet but getting there with help from her mega church leader), she is paying taxes and I thought only US citizens did that.
