He said reproductive rights, the rising cost of living and a lack of support from the local Democratic community pushed him to campaign for some of the conservatives. When Trump launched his political career in 2015, he said Mexico was sending “people who have a lot of problems...they’re bringing drugs, they’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I suppose, are good people.”But Quintanilla said some Latinos, and mostly men, tell him they want to vote for Trump because of his economic policies and because, in their eyes, the economy is doing better under Trump’s administration.García, grew up in Garland and his parents are from Mexico and Colombia.
He described himself as someone with progressive views who leans more toward Democratic candidates. As an environmental student at the University of Texas at Arlington, climate change is one of the things he is most interested in when it comes to candidates and their policies.On Oct. 7, the deadline to register to vote, Meixueiro and two other volunteers set up a table at UT Arlington. They handed out stickers, gave people candy and had a sign reminding people to register to vote.
