We believe that a crystal ball is not needed to predict the future and know that the year 2024 begins with two dilemmas for the Latino community in New York and throughout the nation.
The first for the primary elections and the definition of Democrats and Republicans on who will be the tenant of the White House from 2025.
The second refers to the crisis that will occur in these campaigns and the aspirations of Mayor Eric Adams to repeat his term, the rivers of undocumented immigrants and asylum seekers who arrive by the thousands daily to the border and are sent to the so-called sanctuary cities like the City from New York.
In the first point there is a very thin line between what we want and what could happen, because with Donald Trump’s lead in most opinion polls, everything indicates that the Republican primary will only serve to define second place. . That is if the Court allows him to be a candidate.
In other words, the person chosen in the primary would be in first place if Trump’s inability to compete with Joe Biden is successful.
As a Republican, New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu has already thrown stones at candidates such as former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and Trump himself, calling for them to withdraw to clear the upward path of former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley. .
Since Christie is a tough nut to crack, he has already said that he will wait for, in the first primary of the electoral calendar, in New Hampshire, on January 23, the red voters to decide if he can remain or if they give him another defeat. Everything indicates that this will be the case because he is third in the polls in that state.
The second issue is a little more complicated to analyze, since it touches the core of our people. I am referring to the overwhelming immigration that threatens to crush Mayor Eric Adams’ aspirations to be re-elected for his second term.
Here the political consensus in Washington DC comes to play an important role.
Well, it is not an easy task for the residents of the State of New York to leave immigrants in municipalities like Secaucus or Jersey City in New Jersey.
With the strategy of red states like Texas, of sending those who cross their border to New York, all the towns neighboring the Big Apple can become sanctuary cities, even if they have not asked for it.
That is why Congress remains indebted to the nation, since this problem must be resolved by bipartisan agreement in the heart of the political capital of the world with immigration reform.
