Hi. I’m John Hunter, I’m a conservative, I’m a Trump supporter, I think he’s done a great
job, sure, he has a few character flaws in terms of his personality. He makes fun of the
wrong, I think, people sometimes, but otherwise the results are spectacular, so I support
him fully.
((Laura Hunter, Retired School Teacher))
Hi, my name is Laura Hunter, I am a Mexican, I don’t like Trump character or policies in
many ways. I’ve been in the States more than in Mexico, I have dual citizenship.
((John Hunter kissing Laura))
What about me? You ever asked me about me? Come here, my little guacamole.
Location: on the way to the Mexican border
((John Hunter, Inventor))
I was a, I started the project called “Water Station” in 2000, and, we’re, we started
putting water in the desert. Bill was Laura’s boyfriend at the time, I guess he read about
me in some newspaper, and so, they came out to help me.
Location: in the desert near the Mexican border, 90 miles east of San Diego, CA

When John got to start “Water Station”, I was one of the first volunteers. He started this
project because in year 2000 there were 29 people, that died on this area. Since
operation “Gatekeeper” it was very difficult for people to come across – they started
going to more desolated areas. Usually we put a box with six gallons of water, and
every two weeks we come and check out. And our main goal is to reduce the heat-
related deaths in this area here.
Sometimes we were so tired, and we didn’t have enough people helping us, so John
would say, “What of somebody dies?” And I said, “Well, you know, it’s just so much we
can do, they have God also, we are not God to stop people from dying”.
LIVE Laura in the desert:
“I am not a spring chicken anymore!”

We’d be working like slaves in the back of the pickup truck. She’d be throwing metal
around, because we used to run 340 stations, sometimes by ourselves. But she would
work alongside me, but she was not only strong and had a heart of a lion, but she was
also very feminine, very rare combination in women.
So, that’s how I met Laura
((Laura Hunter, Retired School Teacher))
Be serious.
((John Hunter, Inventor))
We got rid of the boyfriend, and the rest is history. We flew to Vegas, we had a quick,
really fantastic marriage. It was, how does Trump doing it, honey? It was fantastic! It
was fantastic marriage, and we made marriage great again!
Location: Escondido, CA
She happens to distribute me totally in everything, except for one thing. We both like
Mexico, even they hate me here in Mexico. I am only kidding.
But in my opinion Trump is killing it, and the people that the left is running right now are
a clown show. It’s ridiculous, the do not represent middle class values whatsoever.
So I’m an average guy, I like people that work hard and try hard. And that represents
more of the conservative thing that these guys just wants to get everyone a free pass.
Who’s gonna pay for the free pass? The guys who work their asses off.
I like Trump for what he’s done for the economy and forget the immigration stuff, he’s no
worse than Obama, except he is honest. Obama was dishonest about the immigration
situation.
I started the water station project when all the lefties were afraid, I went and put water in
the desert for the last 20 years. So, I’ve been a liberal since. But I also believe in being
honest.

How in the world somebody has the nerve to start accusing Mexicans of being rapists,
of being criminals. You can make your point, but you don’t have to belittle, you don’t
have to insult.
((John and Laura Hunter))
John, jokingly: Are you referring to me or Trump now?
Laura: Excuse me, I didn’t interrupt you, sweetheart, so it’s my turn. When you do that, I
loose my chain of thought.
Location: Crossing the Mexican border at Tecate.
((Laura Hunter, Retired School Teacher))
How can you teach children to be respectful if the guy in the White House is a bully?
This is such an issue on John and our marriage because I don’t like bullies.
Location: Tecate, Mexico
((Laura Hunter, Retired School Teacher))
And what I dislike about him the most is his lack of respect for women.
((John Hunter, Inventor))
I understand where she’s coming from. I have to admit, he insulted a lot of nice women.
((Laura and John Hunter))
Laura: What would you do, if he insulted me? What would you do?
John: Honey, you know me, I punch people in the nose just for fun.
((Laura Hunter, Retired School Teacher))
We argue a lot about it, I have told people, “I’m not an extension of John, I am myself.
And we argue, if he is watching Fox News, I just walk away.
((John and Laura Hunter))
John: For the last two years I turn on CNN, they’re bashing Trump, that’s all they do.
We hate Trump, we hate Trump.
Laura: Don’t exaggerate, they don’t say, “We hate”.
John: I’m paraphrasing.
Laura: Be truthful.
John: Honey, this is my interview. She gives me 5 minutes, you got 25 minutes.
Laura: Sweetheart, you are doing that “Trump” right now. You are doing a “Trump” but
lying about it.
John: I get five minutes of something, right!
I’m a big fan of Trump’s. I’m going to vote for him three or four times if I could legally do
it.
Laura: Well, guess what?! I’m going to block his vote!
Laughing.

If I’d been born on that side of the border, I would be looking for a better life over here in
the States too. It’s a tough situation. You have beautiful countryside in Mexico, beautiful
countryside here. But the systems are different. A poor person in Mexico doesn’t have
much of a chance in any upper mobility.
((Laura Hunter, Retired School Teacher))
We cannot change the politics or the situations on this countries where the people are
coming from, but the only thing we can do is put water, and if it is in our hands, why
not?
