Ron Aragon: Some of Spanish descent are voting for Trump

The use of the phrase “Spanish-speaking Catholics” insults my Spanish heritage, as in King Ferdinand the Catholic of Aragon! Not all people with Spanish surnames are actually Spanish! My Spanish ancestors travelled very long and very hard across a vast ocean from Spain legally! No borders! No breaking the law! Ignorance of the law is no excuse! I am Spanish and I am voting for Donald Trump!

Ron Aragon, Merced
