Immigrant voters talk hope, fear and big money in the US election

This new US citizen was born in Melbourne, Australia, and now lives in Houston, Texas. He identifies as a libertarian-leaning independent but doesn’t yet know who he will back in his first election – he might even leave the presidential section blank.

To be completely frank, I’m absolutely petrified that a potential leader of the country can raise $1bn (£770m) from donors.

The money in politics absolutely scares me and the fact that we are trending extreme, at least in the rhetoric, whether or not we see that in actions, is a bit different [to Australia].

There is a difference between the way people who come to the country look at politics and the people who are born in the country look at politics.

I think those of us that come here recognise the difference between rhetoric and action quite readily. I think there are some people that do get very caught up in the rhetoric.
