来自多米尼加共和国的移民弗洛·克鲁赛塔最近成为了美国公民，他和总统唐纳德·特朗普周二在美国广播公司的市政厅。
克鲁赛塔问了总统一个问题她的母亲最近死于乳腺癌，乳腺癌已经扩散到她身体的其他部位。她问特朗普将如何让更多移民成为正式美国公民。

但特朗普回答了她的问题——关于移居相反，通过谈论冠状病毒危机，似乎误解了她母亲死亡的原因，将其比作已经导致近20万美国人死亡的流行病。
“我感到失望，”周三晚上，克鲁赛塔对美国广播公司新闻直播首席主播林西·戴维斯说。
“他开始谈论移民，然后他完全转向COVID。我知道这就是我们现在生活的情况，大流行，但我没有说我妈妈死于冠状病毒。所以，我不知道他是否误解了我，或者他真的为了他的利益而改变了我的问题，”她说。
克鲁赛塔说她想纠正总统，但说不出话来，因为她哭得“太多了”。
“这并不是说不合适，”克鲁赛塔在谈到纠正特朗普时说。“只是我很痛苦。我试着开口。”
克鲁赛塔的家人于2006年从多米尼加共和国来到美国。她母亲在一家肉类加工厂工作了“多年”，她说。“如果她生病了，她从来不去看医生。她不想停止工作。”
克鲁赛塔以描述母亲开始向特朗普提问。
“她患有乳腺癌，但它已经转移到了她的大脑、骨骼和肺部，”克鲁赛塔忍住眼泪对总统说。“她19日去世了。她最大的梦想之一是成为公民投票。而且她确实[成为了一个公民]，在她去世的前十天。我也做到了。她那么用力地推我去做，我就在这28号过去了。”
“我在这里是因为她，”克鲁赛塔说。“她应该在这里问你，谢谢你...在这次疫情中，你让人们更加亲近。我们失去了工作，但我们学会了如何爱家人。所以我是从她口中说出来的。”
特朗普从谈论移民系统开始回答她的问题，但在回答中转向谈论冠状病毒大流行。
“这是一个非常悲伤的故事，但我们希望人们来到我们的国家，”特朗普告诉她。“我们希望他们进来——很多人——但我们希望他们通过法律系统进来。通过一个系统...他们热爱我们的国家。他们为进入我们的国家而工作。”

2020年9月15日，在费城国家宪法中心，由美国广播公司新闻首席主播乔治·斯特凡诺普洛斯主持的美国广播公司新闻市政厅，弗洛·克鲁赛塔·穆尼奥斯向唐纳德·特朗普总统提问。
特朗普还告诉克鲁赛塔，他的政府正在处理这场流行病，显然误解了克鲁赛塔母亲的死因。
“我们会处理好的，”他谈到新冠肺炎大流行时说。“它会得到照顾的。疫苗将会有很大的不同。”
克鲁赛塔说，总统的回答并没有左右她作为美国公民将投给谁的第一票。
“他让我们的一切都变得艰难。我不知道为什么我们可以投票给他...因为他只是在拆散人们，拆散家庭。我们需要他明白这一点，”她说，并补充说，她是合法来到美国的，持有J-1签证。
“他给我的答案让我认为，如果我投票给他，那些没有证件来到这里的移民——因为我们有很多这样的人——他们不会从他那里得到任何希望，因为他想要的，他说他想要的，是人们合法地来到这里，”她说。
“但是那些不是合法来到这里的呢?你打算怎么办?为什么他们会是外国人?他们在这里做的所有工作呢?他们带来的家庭和移民在这里出生的孩子呢?他们呢?”克鲁赛塔补充道。
周二晚上，在总统误解了她的问题后，克鲁赛塔告诉美国广播公司新闻，她很感谢有机会代表全国各地的西班牙语、西班牙语和拉丁美洲社区发言。
“这是一个很好的机会，可以公开我们对他的想法和我们想听到的，”她说。
美国广播公司新闻提出与拜登一起主持一个类似的市政厅会议，但双方未能找到一个双方都同意的日期。
Voter 'disappointed' after Trump fails to answer her question about immigration during ABC News town hall
Flor Cruceta, an immigrant from the Dominican Republic who recently became a United States citizen, had an odd exchange withPresidentDonald Trumpat ABC News' town hall Tuesday.
Cruceta asked the president a questionon behalf of her mother, who recently died from breast cancer which had spread to other areas of her body. She asked Trump what he would to do allow more immigrants to become full U.S. citizens.

But Trump answered her question -- aboutimmigration-- by talking, instead, about thecoronaviruscrisis, appearing to misunderstand the cause of her mother's death, likening it to the pandemic which has killed nearly 200,000 Americans.
"I feel disappointed," Cruceta said to ABC News Live Prime anchor Linsey Davis Wednesday night.
"He started talking about immigration and then he completely switched to COVID. I understand that that is the situation we are living right now, the pandemic, but I did not say that my mom died from thecoronavirus. So, I didn't know if he misunderstood me or he really changed my question to his benefit," she said.
Cruceta said she wanted to correct the president, but couldn't get the words out because she was crying "too much."
"It's not that it was inappropriate," Cruceta said of correcting Trump. "It's just that I'm in pain. I tried to speak."
Cruceta's family came to the U.S. from the Dominican Republic in 2006. Her mother worked at a meatpacking plant "for many years," she said. "If she got sick, she never went to the doctor. She didn't want to stop working."
Cruceta began her question to Trump by describing her mother.
"She had breast cancer, but it made metastasis on her brain, bone and lungs," Cruceta told the president, holding back tears. "She passed on the 19th. One of her biggest dreams was to become a citizen to vote. And she did [become a citizen], ten days before she died. And I did it, too. She pushed me so hard to do it, and I did it this past 28th."
"I'm here because of her," Cruceta said. "She was supposed to be here and ask you and thank you for this... during this epidemic, you made people closer. We lost our jobs but we learned how to love our family. So I'm saying that from her."
Trump began answering her question by talking about the immigration system, but veered to speaking about the coronavirus pandemic in his answer.
"It's a very sad story, but we want people to come into our country," Trump told her. "We want them to come in -- a lot of people -- but we want them to come in through a legal system. Through a system that... they love our country. They work to come into our country."
Flor Cruceta Munoz asks President Donald Trump a question at ABC News' town hall hosted by ABC News chief anchor George Stephanopoulos at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, Sept. 15, 2020.
Trump also told Cruceta that his administration is taking care of the pandemic, apparently misunderstanding the cause of Cruceta's mother's death.
"We'll have it taken care of," he said of the COVID-19 pandemic. "It's going to get taken care of. The vaccines are going to make a big difference."
Cruceta said that the president's answer hasn't swayed her one way or the other on who she will cast her first ballot for as a U.S. citizen.
"He's making everything hard for us. I don't know why we can vote for him... because he's just pulling people apart, he's just taking families apart. And we need him to understand that," she said, adding that she came to the U.S. legally, with a J-1 Visa.
"The answer he gave me makes me think that if I vote for him, the immigrants that came here without papers -- because we have many people like that -- they're not going to have any hope from him because what he wants, what he says he wants, is people to come here legally," she said.
"But what about the ones that did not come here legally? What are you gonna do? Why are they just gonna be the foreigner? What about all the work they have done here? What about the families they bring here and the kids that are born here from immigrants? What about them?," Cruceta added.
Cruceta told ABC News on Tuesday night, after the president misunderstood her question, that she was thankful for the opportunity to speak on behalf of Spanish-speaking, Hispanic and Latino communities across the country.
"It was a great opportunity to be open about what we think and what we want to hear about him," she said.
ABC News offered to host a similar town hall with Biden, but the two parties were not able to find a mutually agreeable date.
