The Candidacy of Catalina Lauf
There is a 26 year old woman running for Illinois 14th Congressional District in 2020. She is the daughter of a legal Guatemalan immigrant and is running on a positive message, that being entrepreneurship and unity. Her credentials - she was an adviser at the Commerce Department.
She told Jedediah Bila (Fox & Friends) about her upbringing:
"Growing up, you know my mom, I'm the daughter of a legal Guatemalan immigrant, my dad is a small business owner, and with that we have such a profound love of entrepreneurship and limited government and allowing for small businesses to thrive and when you have a political landscape where there's a lot of regulation and so much tax that really hinders the innovation that entrepreneurs can have," Lauf said. "I'm a very big proponent of entrepreneurship and small business and that's a big platform of mine. My district has a lot of small business owners and we need to ensure we're creating an environment that really fosters that growth."
When asked about those who called the president "racist" for wanting to enforce immigration laws, Lauf responded: "It's so sad, he's not a racist, you know people like my mom and my grandmother and many other Hispanic Americans who have come here legally feel so insulted by that because they did it the right way and there is a process for it and you should be a law-abiding citizen. President Trump is doing his best to protect the country and we should be enforcing legal immigration laws."

Lauf will try and win back a traditionally Republican district that the Democrats narrowly won with 52.5% of the vote in the 2018 midterm election. Her ultimate opponent would be none other than Rep. Lauren Underwood (D-IL).

Rep Lauren Underwood
The same Lauren Underwood who outrageously claimed that the Trump administration is “intentionally” killing migrant children captured at the border. Please note: the Committee later voted to remove some of Underwood's incendiary comments from the record!

I think the descent people of Illinois 14th Congressional District have a real clear choice should it come down to Lauf vs Underwood.
Morality vs everything that is despicable in American politics today

The fight goes on!
Of course you know that if her parents were to legally immigrate here now, by Trump's new rules, she would be living in Honduras.
Her parents did follow the immigration laws and did legally immigrate here.
Which has what to do with the thread?
No Stevie, she would not have been an anchor baby. Her father was an American citizen.
Seriously? Surely you know the difference between LEGAL and ILLEGAL.
Turning yourself in to ICE and asking for sanctuary is LEGAL.
Yup - requesting asylum is LEGAL - being in country without permission is ILLEGAL - asylum is NOT a permission slip to enter the country legally. It is just a LEGAL request to be granted permission to enter into the Naturalization process based on personal circumstances. Illegal Aliens can request asylum, but that does not give them LEGAL access to come and go into the U.S.
That may be, but that does not make one a LEGAL Immigrant.
What?
From your comment I take it you have not one clue how immigration into the U.S. works or asylum.
Wow ..... encouraging!
We need someone like that to run against our crackpot in Michigan. Tlaib.
Exactly the type of candidate the GOP needs to produce. They helped build it for us, let us develop and enhance it!
Good for her!
“I’m not anti-anyone, I’m pro-America,"
How refreshing.
"I’m not anti-anyone, I’m pro-America,"
"Positive American Thinking" for the "Left", Is like contracting Ebola these days though.
I take it you wrote the article Vic.
I will just put it like this - NO ONE who enthusiastically supports Donald Trump, like this young woman seems to, can ever realistically claim to have morality on their side.
If she denounced Trump and has credentials as a traditional moderate Republican maybe she would be an acceptable person to represent the far western suburbs of Chicago, but that doesnt seem to be the case.
If you want to be taken seriously as an article writer for Newstalkers you should stop associating the name Trump with morality.
John - you're not the Trump police - might be a good idea to back down from your "I know and hate Trump 'cause he Sux" soapbox.
Do you actually observe what Trump does or says? It doesnt seem like it. I dont accept criticism from people who live in a fantasy world where Trump is acceptable as president of the United States.
You should let the Trump campaign know that you endlessly defend the moron with highly repetitive comments. Maybe they will send you a Make America Great Again Hat.... if you send them 35 dollars in return.
Trump IS President...that is a reality. Most of us accept reality.
You really still have issues that Clinton, a career politician, lost the 2016 electoral votes to a career businessman. Unfortunately for you John, even though Trump isn't "acceptable as President" in your eyes, he is your President.
John, I appreciate your opinion of the 45th President. Let's just keep in mind that you are not the only person who gets to define what is moral. When you condemn what was done to Brett Kavanaugh, I'll consider your version of what is moral.
She doesn't need to denounce Trump. It is unfortunate that anyone might state that is a 'requirement' to be an 'acceptable person'.
I get so tired of your completely transparent machinations against anything Trump in here so let me lay this out so even you can understand it.

Nope, not even close, guess again.
Coming from you, the irony of that comment is exponentially stratospheric
More irony ..... someone call Culligan to install an irony filter
Warp ten .... that way!

Evidently Catalina Lauf claims that Ocasio Cortez hates everything America stands for. I have seen a few interviews with AOC, and as far as I can tell she "stands for" helping the working class people of America achieve a better life. She says exactly that many times over. That is un-American? rofl.
You claim that Lauren Underwood has smeared Trump. What is this woman doing to AOC?
And she'll do that …… how ?
"Over taxing" and "Over Regulating" the job providers ?
Forcing the "Job Providers" to pay a "MORON" the same amount as a smart employee ?
Forcing the turnover of the "Job Providers" companies to the "People" ?
Not to mention the "New Green Deal" that'll cost a couple double digit trillions, medicare for all, open borders for all.
AOC, and all the ones running on the "Left" ticket, want folks to work FOR GOVERNMENT GAINS, so the government can give a few things back to "THE PEOPLE" !
Did you happen to hear when Cortez compared American detention centers to Nazi concentration camps?
Thanks to all those who kept it civil
Still Winning.......
