Marco Gutierrez, one of the founding members of “Latinos for Trump,” is profiled in the latest offering from “60 Second Docs.”

WATCH:

Gutierrez was born in Mexico and legally immigrated to the United States to chase the “American Dream.”

After becoming a millionaire in the real estate business, Gutierrez lost it all when the housing bubble burst in 2007, and now he realizes the true “value of the American Dream.”

“I feel like Democrats have kidnapped our communities,” he explained. “Latinos for Trump is an attempt to bring balance to my culture.”

Gutierrez explained that he’s been called a traitor to his own heritage, simply for campaigning for Trump.

“People come up to me and say you’re not Mexican anymore. I receive death threats all the time, and even my brother is not speaking to me,” he continued. “It is as if I was being punished by Hispanics for voicing my opinions.”

Ultimately, Gutierrez is supporting the Republican nominee because he believes “Donald Trump will bring jobs back to our communities.”

“Defending the American Dream comes with a price, but in the end it will be worth it.”
