MIAMI (AP) -- On a recent Saturday morning in South Florida, 50-year-old Edgar Ospina stood in a long line of immigrants to take the first step to become an American.
Ospina has spent almost half his life in the U.S. after emigrating from his native Colombia, becoming eligible for citizenship in 1990. 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's so negative about immigrants. 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 center stage in the presidential campaign, especially in the race for the Republican nomination.

Trump isn't against immigration. His wife is an immigrant! He is against ILLEGAL immigration.
good. if that is what it takes to make America great again then lets go.
Thank you for finally doing what you should have done in 1990. We welcome legal immigrants,and so does Trump. So, become a Citizen!
We welcome you, as long as you are a citizen,
working, and paying taxes, like the rest of us.
Seems to me that Trump has already had an effect on immigration. People believe that he means what he is saying and are responding in a positive way, becoming citizens or getting out. We will make America great again.
Trump Is not dividing the country, Illegal aliens are.
That's what libitards do. They take a statement out of context to suit their clueless narrative. ie Hillary! !!
