When Donald Trump speaks at one of his rallies, Gisell Broch physically reacts. She cringes.
“He’s like a punch to the gut.”
That punch is so palpable that it’s shaken the Cuba native out of a 22-year contentment at simply holding her green card. Thanks to Trump, she’s seeking her U.S. citizenship in time to vote against him in November.
“He’s a racist,” said Broch, from her front row seat at a naturalization information session in Homestead, Florida. When Broch files her paperwork, she expects she’ll vote for “anyone but Trump” as her first vote as a U.S. citizen.
Trump’s campaign pledge to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border and his statement that Mexico sends criminals, drugs and rapists into America have become a rallying cry for Latinos. The Trump campaign says his proposed immigration reforms will end up benefiting legal Latino immigrants.
