Trump suspects Sanchez is an illegal immigrant and says the popsicle cart pusher and his wife are taking jobs from Americans and should be shipped back to Mexico
Recently a stranger saw 89-year-old Fidencio Sanchez struggling to push his popsicle cart in Chicago’s Little Village, a section of Chicago that predominantly inhabited by Mexican immigrants. The stranger opened up a GoFundMe website and included a picture of the old man struggling with the popsicle cart.
On Wednesday, Sanchez was presented with a check for $384,290, the amount raised by GoFundMe.. Sanchez, who does not speak any English, thanked everybody through an interpreter.
Donald Trump noted that Sanchez does not speak English. “Here we have a man pushing a cart with Spanish writing on it in a Mexican part of Chicago and he’s probably an illegal immigrant who should be shipped back to Mexico,” said Trump.
Trump went on to demand that Chicago cops check out Sanchez to make sure he is not in this country illegally. "If they find out, as I suspect, that he is here illegally,” said Trump, “I want them to turn him over to the feds for immediate deportation back to Mexico. And I want the authorities to confiscate the $380,000 so it can be used to help secure our borders.”
Sanchez’s only daughter died recently and her sons were left in his care. His wife also used to sell popsicles but had to stop because ill health made it too difficult for the elderly woman to push the cart. She now sells Mexican candies.
Sanchez said he and his wife had to keep on working to pay the bills. He says the check will allow them to retire and meet the needs of their grandchildren.
Trump said “Their story touches me, but I can give you sad tales about countless U.S. citizens. Mr. and Mrs. Sanchez have taken jobs that could have been held by Americans. They need to be shipped back to Mexico. If they want to live in this country, they should get in line with the other Mexicans who are applying to immigrate here legally.”
Trump concluded by saying, “It’s cases like this which are the basis for my immigration policy.”
