MCALLEN'S "TRUMP GIRL" CONTINUES WORK WITH "EMPOWER TEXANS" DESPITE FATHER'S CARTEL CONNECTIONS AND MURDER CONVICTION

Self-Described "Trump Girl" Miriam Cepeda

During the 2016 campaign, Donald Trump would shade his eyes and peer out over the campaign audience looking for a black supporter.

"Where's my Afro-American?" Trump said more than once, oblivious of the obvious condescension.

"There he is!" the candidate would say.

"Isn't he great?"

4 Trump" Audience in 2016

Trump also had a Mexican, a beautiful 24 year old Hispanic in McAllen, Texas, Miriam Cepeda, a post graduate student at UT-RGV, one of the organizers of the "Pachanga 4 Trump" event held in Hidalgo County during the campaign.

"I completely agree with Donald J. Trump's policies as far as creating a stronger border and enforcing our border security," Cepeda says. "I first hand have seen ... friends that are getting involved with illegal activity that's associated with drugs or human trafficking. It's an issue that people need to realize is reality."

Paradoxically, while Cepeda supports Trump, her undocumented father and uncle, with alleged ties to the Mexican drug cartels, have both been convicted of murdering a cartel lawyer in Southlake, Texas, a suburb of Fort Worth.

The "Trump girl" states:  "People need to wake up and realize that the illegal immigrants that are here, that have no other form of self employment, do turn to drugs, do turn to the cartel business, do turn to illegal immigration. And I'm saying this because I have family members that are involved in this stuff, and they are in the state jail at this moment, and I would love nothing better but for them to be deported," she said.

Ms. Cepeda views Ivanka Trump as a role model:

"Just look at his daughter, Ivanka Trump," she told CNN. "Look at an inspiration she is to any woman, any woman that's seeking a career, and wants to be a mother. She's the perfect example of the ideal, classy, professional woman. That just shows as a reflection of her father."

Cepeda's goal is to someday have an official role in the Trump administration.  Meanwhile, she works with Empower Texans, a quasi-lobbying group that works to elect right-wing candidates.
