What do I expect for Trump to do for me, personally? He did it already---he got elected
That said, I voted for him because he came right out and said that illegal immigration is a big problem. I got so tired of politicians tip toeing around this issue, for fear of offending Hispanics. Not to mention that they are beholden to their mega-rich donors who want the flow of illegals to continue. As someone of Hispanic descent, I found it very insulting to be pandered and stereotyped in that way.
Illegal immigration destroyed my community. In the late 90s, as people sold their homes, the new owners, for the most part, became absentee landlords who created flophouses with 20-30 people per house. We've seen MS-13 graffiti and a few shootings. The worst shooting was a high school kid who got shot while waiting for the school bus in the morning. It turned out that the kid didn't want to join a gang. They arrested 3 illegals for that killing.
We've had hyper immigration since 1965 and that needs to stop. Starting in 1965, we have allowed 59 million immigrants into this country and untold millions of illegals. We have a townhouse community within our development. Many legal immigrants from third world countries bought those houses and either made illegal apartments in their basements or are living like this---3 families in a 3 bedroom house. The place is turning into a slum. Our HOA constantly has to get after the miscreants over and over again. Things like this bring everybody's property values down. We are planning to sell our house. Our next door neighbors told us that they are worried about who will move into it.
Our schools are being really strained when it comes to educating these kids. Many, despite being born here, show up at school not speaking a word of English and the Spanish they do know is atrocious. These kids take away resources from other kids who come to school prepared
I am so glad that Trump has addressed this issue and plans to do something about it.
He also plans to fix the fraud and corruption in the H1-B program. My husband is now retired but when he was working, one time he couldn't find IT work for 10 months, despite being highly qualified. Many Indians are now in IT and blatantly discriminate against non-Indians. They would call him and string him along leading him to believe that they were interested, when they weren't.
This visa program has gotten so corrupted that it is now being used to lay off Americans and replace them with H1-Bs. To add insult to injury, if the Americans want their severance pay, they have to train the H1-Bs.
If we continued on this ruinous path we are currently on, what would be left for my grandkids?
I was so relieved when Trump won. My first thought was this --- now my grandkids have a bright future ahead. My brother put it this way---when he heard Trump won, he felt a weight lift off his shoulders. He trims trees for a living and got undercut quite a lot due to illegals.

Has Trump announced his first trip up there to Canada?
