A New Chinese immigrant woman supports Trump.

Hillary Clinton claims that she cares about women, children, immigrants and minorities, but as a new immigrant woman from China, I don't like her. I prefer Donald Trump instead.

The first moment I started to dislike her was when she described Donald Trump's supporters "a basket of deplorables", claiming groundlessly that they were the low-income racist white people without college degrees.

Hillary Clinton never considers Asian-Americans as U.S. citizens, since so many of them are Trump supporters, with the most bachelor and above degrees and highest household income among all the races. However, according to a Pew survey (皮尤调查), Asians, most of them are Chinese, only have 2% of influential power in the politics. So in this Presidential Election, Hillary has totally ignored the voice of Asian community.

According to the poll of some major Chinese forums for Chinese-Americans, such as Wenxuecity, Mitbbs, Chinese in LA, College Daily, Trump supporters outnumbered Hillary's.

In the previous Elections, Chinese-Americans thought minorities should vote Democratic, until Peter Liang's case, they realized that in America, the "minorities" only include African-Americans and Hispanics.

In eight years of Obama's administration, with the acquiescence of the Democrat, violent criminals and illegal immigrants have become increasingly audacious. Asians are constantly the targets of Black violence.

Hillary and her supporters have reminded me of the leftist disaster of the Cultural Revolution, during which the property of my family was violently confiscated by the red guard soldiers.  In my eyes, Black Lives Matter participants are nothing different from Chinese red guard soldiers, both of which have demonized people living a better life as descendants of their evil oppressors, which is an inheritable sin that makes them deserve to be robbed or murdered. Asians respect authorities, so I agree Trump's "law and order" idea to protect decent people and punish the criminals regardless of their races and social status.

As a new immigrant, I don't like Hillary. She has criticized Trump's "anti-immigration" stance, but he only targeted "illegal immigrants", not the legal ones like me. Most Asian immigrants came to America and got permanent residence legally. It takes about ten years for most Asians to get green cards through studying and working in America, as well as the expensive immigration application fees. Hillary's amnesty for illegal immigrants promise is unfair and makes me feel insecure as she treats the illegals better than us, not concerning the public safety issue, such as sexual assaults like what happened in Europe, and that's also why I don't like her as a woman. She is the U.S. Presidential candidate, she should put women and children in America first, not the other way around. From this perspective, I support Trump who puts America first and respects the law.

Within a few years, I will be a mother, I won't like Hillary. The Affirmative Action supported by the Democrat Party is an institutional racial discrimination against the whole Asian community, including the mix-blood of Asians and Whites. One of the biggest American Dreams for Chinese immigrants is to go to the top colleges and find well-paid jobs. Many Chinese moms sacrifice lots of time to help their kids get better grades, which ends up with reverse discrimination from the ivy-league colleges. Blacks and Hispanics enjoy higher chances to be admitted with SAT scores 300 points less than Asians and fewer extra curriculum credits. I believe that Hillary will make it worse if she's the U.S. President. In most Asians' eyes, she's the racist, not Donald Trump.

Asian-Americans have long been politically underrepresented. Chinese-American scholars like Xiaoxia Gong, Qinglian He, Changqing Cao are very active on Chinese online platforms to endorse Trump. However, they write in Chinese, so most of the non-Chinese speakers cannot understand their reasonable political analysis. I hope Chinese in America express more in English, so others can hear our voice.
