Argument Analysis

Donald Trump comment to Mexican People “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending
their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots
of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing
crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”
Donald Trump think that Mexicans bring problems and they are not a good people.
This is a comment in which make people think a lot, specially Mexicans many people were in
shock when Trump made this comment, the most people disagree on what he said. Not all Mexicans
are bad people as Trump think, just because one person make a mistake, it makes people think that
all Mexicans are bad.
At some point there, a lot of people who come here to the United States that bring problems,
some are Mexicans but not all bring problems as Trump thinks, there is much people from different
countries that bring problems but Mexicans are not the only ones.

Mexicans people bring

problems

Those people bring crime,

drugs and are rapist.

Trump is racist and he totally

Not all mexican people bring
do not like Mexicans because
10 % agree with trump problems,the most people
of all the comments he has
come here to work hard to get
90% disagree said about mexicans.Not
money to raise their family in
because one make mistakes,
mexico
all people are bad.
 Fallacies

As Donald trump made his comment about Mexicans it made everyone feel that he totally just
criticizes Mexicans without knowing that not all people bring problems ,as he became president he
started to talk about Mexicans , all people do not really like him because they think he is totally racist,
he totally want to get rid of all Mexicans, he just talk thigs without thinking ,he has made many insults to
Mexicans without knowing if it is true or not about we all Mexicans.

The president thinks we Mexicans are bad people because we bring crime drugs, ad problems to his
country, but is not how it is, there may be people who are totally problematics and they bring crime and
drugs and totally think that instead of making the comment to all people, he should only have said to
those people that totally bring problems.

Many people totally feel mad about the president comment but I think that for many comments he
says to us Mexicans, we will never win even though there will be comments that are going to be true
and others false, I think it would be only a time to ignored all he says because we will never win him. I
think just see his comments but just ignore those comments because he will never will stop talking to
Mexicans.

We all think that his comment totally is false, even though at some point it made be true for those
who bring problems but for those who do not bring problems are totally mad, thinking that this
comment is totally false, and not matter what they will always regret this comment knowing that they
are not problematic people.

This comment will be proving to those people who they totally bring problems but I do not think that
the president trump has evidence of what he said maybe he just made the comment without having
evidence, maybe he only had evidence to those who really bring problems but not for those who do not
bring problems.

I am arguing the comment the President did and I do not want people to think that I am super mad at
what president said, I just discussed about the argument because it was something I was not really
greeting the president comment.
 Letter

Dear President Trump

I am a follower and analyst of your ideas and memories that you present in your tours, but there
are things in which I do not agree with what you say about all Mexicans, you comment that people
who come to this country , they bring problems ,but in I do not agree with that, since they are the
ones who are supporting the country so that it can go ahead economically. The most people that
come from Mexico they come to work hard, to sustain their families, they do not really bring
problems, as you mentioned in the comment. Many of us Mexicans as we saw your comment it made
us that you are very disrespectful and that you really have something with us that you do not like us
the Mexicans.

I realize that one or two people make a mistake but it does not mean that everyone is like that, I
agree to be punished, and sent to their country, I know there are some Mexicans that come here to
this country they totally bring problems and they are not doing well here, but not because they are
problematics, it does not mean all people are problematics as I said, everyone is different not all
people are the same, and as I said I totally agree that those people who bring problems, they should
totally be send to this country because it something that you as president want those people here.

With respect I just want to let you know that with your comment, you made us feel angry and sad
because many of us, who are living here in this country, we are totally great people, and we do not
make any problems, we work hard to get money, we go to school because in this country if you want
to achieve something, you will achieved it with sacrifice.

This was something I just wanted to let you know, thank you for reading this letter, goodbye with
a big greeting.

Sincerely
Ivonne Landin
 Reflection
As I saw this argument that the president Donald Trump comment, it was something that totally
brought me the attention, why? because I am Mexican and I come here to the United States five years
ago but I am not a person that brought problems, I am a very nice person , and I never want to have
problems here because living in this county brings you a lot of opportunities and having problems
you will never do anything here, this comment was very interesting to me and most of Mexican
people it make us get mad and sad because Trump just said things without thinking and knowing that
what he said or is saying about Mexicans, he is not doing very well affecting people, and now all
people who are undocumented have fear because they do not know what will happen if they get
deported just because of trump.

Reflecting everything about this argument made me feel that I totally care about my country and it
was very great to talk about this comment because I am Mexican, and I was not really greeting on
what Donald Trump said, I know like I said not all Mexican have problems, they also do mistakes
but is not all people, and I totally agree that those people should be deported to their country. Donald
Trump has made many mistakes talking about Mexicans of things that are not true and because he
wants to feel them bad, I just wanted to said about what I think about the argument trump said, his
comment was a really good comment to argue about because many as I do, do not agree with him
because not all people is as he said.

If I was him who made his comment, instead of making the comment that all people who are send
here, they bring problems like crime, drugs, I would not say the comment as Donald Trump said, I
would say that those people who bring crime, drugs they would be send back to their country, the
things that make me mad is that he is sending people who only have got tickets and they do not do
anything bad in this country, he is not doing the right by sending people with not problems, we
should send all bad people who bring problems as he said .

I just want to say that not all people who come here bring problems, they come here for reason to
have a better life because here in this country are many opportunities than in Mexico, people come to
work, many of the people that come here, they do not brig their family with them, and they come to
work hard, get money to send their family, other people come to get education or just visit this
country, they do not come to make problems, I know some people come here just to make problems
as Trump said but is not all people.

See Trump's past comments on people of color
The President used a vulgar term to refer to certain countries
He's made racially charged remarks in the past
(CNN)President Donald Trump's stunning remarks decrying the migration of citizens from "shithole
countries" weren't the first time he's made comments widely considered disparaging to ethnic and
racial groups.

Here are other instances when Trump seemed to belittle people's backgrounds:
Latinos
During a June 2015 speech announcing his candidacy, Trump referred to some Mexican immigrants
as "rapists."
"When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best," Trump said. "They're sending people
that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs.
They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people."

Donald Trump doubles down on calling Mexicans 'rapists'
