Born in Mexico, this new American is voting for Donald Trump

Dallas Morning News by Nic Garcia 1/5/2020

On the day Martha Doss became a U.S. citizen in 2017, she couldn’t stop thinking of her mother.

“She wanted to desperately be an American,” she said, remembering the woman who brought her and her twin sister from Mexico to the United States when they were children in the mid-1980s.

Becoming a citizen meant her mother’s dream of a better life for her children had, in some way, been fulfilled.

It also meant that in 2020, Martha could vote in what will likely be one of the most contentious and hard-fought presidential elections.

And on that day in 2017 when Martha pledged to “support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic,” she knew exactly whom she would vote for: Donald Trump.

It would be nice of she was the 'norm', but I highly doubt it.
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.
