Donald Trump and Ospina

presidential nominee: But with Donald Trump becoming a more likely presidential nominee by the day, Ospina decided to wait no more, rushing the paperwork required to become a citizen. "Trump is dividing us as a country," said Ospina, owner of a small flooring and kitchen remodeling company. "He so negative about immigrants, according to Huffington Post Canada. We've got to speak up." Nationwide, immigrants like Ospina are among tens of thousands applying for naturalization in a year when immigration has taken centre stage in the presidential campaign, especially in the race for the Republican nomination. Ospina has spent almost half his life in the U.S. after emigrating from his native Colombia, becoming eligible for citizenship in 1990. Edgar Ospina, who has spent almost half of his life in America after emigrating from his native Colombia, recently applied for naturalization. He also vowed to bar Muslims from entering the country and threatened to cut off remittances that Mexican immigrants in the U.S. send back home. Trump, the GOP front-runner, has pledged to deport the estimated 11 million people living in the U.S. illegally. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
