President Donald Trump has sparked outrage from more than one with his statements about illegal immigrants, especially those who cross the southern border from Mexico and Central America.

His words have made a dent among the Spanish-speaking community and still, there are those who look at things in a different way and even approve the policies and words of the 73-year-old president born in Queens.

Such is the case of Ronaldo Castro, a Mexican resident in Addison, Texas, who arrived in the country with his family without documents and who now declares himself as a Trump admirer.

"I think (Trump) is not racist. Hispanic people think he is racist because of the things he said about Mexicans, that (Mexico) sent people who took drugs, people who should not be here, "said the man, who works in the medical products industry, to the Dallas daily newspaper. “I did not feel discrimination because I think it did not apply to me. Because I am not, I do not want to be and I am not going to be any of those things”.

The man emigrated with his family from Torreón, Coahuila, in the 1980s. His father was a bricklayer and about 10 years ago he became a citizen of the United States.

According to what he said, his concept of President Trump and his admiration for him have caused him problems with some of his relatives who do not agree with him.

“They have called me a traitor; but the traitor is the one who comes from his country, the one who says he is proud of his country, but lives here in another country”, he accepted. “I do not consider myself a traitor. The one who betrayed us was our country of origin. I do not.

For Castro, the root of many problems in the community has its origin in the community itself. "There is more discrimination between ourselves," he says. “Even a Hispanic person does not want to live with another Hispanic. I don't say it because I'm discriminating, I say it because everyone says it. I say the wall is fine. If people want to come here, first try to do it as they are asked."
