There are still almost eight months until Americans elect the president who will manage the country’s destinies between 2025 and 2028, and after the so-called Super Tuesday, Donald Trump reconfirmed being the favorite to receive the republican nomination to measure yourself against Joe Bidenwho will seek to be re-elected with the support of the Democratic party.
Still somewhat warm on the electoral panorama to come, New Yorkers of Latin origin Melissa Viloria, are already beginning to express themselves about the electoral future and the next four-year period, revealing a bit of discouragement. Although a good part of the Big Apple electorate claims to be inclined to support the current President over his rival, in the Peruvian’s words, there is disappointment because the elections will be between two candidates in which “everyone has their buts” and neither convinces. .
“These elections already seem like the elections of our countries in which one votes for the least worst. Although I worry that Trump returns to power, because he has shown that he does not respect the law and encourages hatred against immigrants, Biden has been the culprit of the immigration crisis that New York is now experiencing with everything free for newcomers and no support for working people like me, who continue to struggle to pay rent, services and food,” says the Democratic voter. “The best thing that could happen is that different candidates appear from now until November, for the good of the country and the immigrants who work hard. Neither Trump nor Biden convince. They should retire“.
Enzo Hernandez, Originally from Mexico, he has a similar position, but is more pessimistic about the future of vulnerable communities and working families no matter who wins.
“I honestly don’t expect anything from the next government because whoever comes up, in terms of immigration, they are not going to do anything for anyone. The thing is very simple, if they do nothing for their own citizens born here, they are not going to do anything for us, whether they are Democrats or Republicans,” says the Hispanic worker, who considers that Biden is not a “savior” and Trump is not either. “the demon”.
“Neither of them is a friend of the working class or an immigrant and the truth is that I think Trump is more talkative and both make the typical paraphernalia that is done in an election to bring grist to the mill. Both Trump and Biden are going to make election speeches, because we “We don’t paint at all.”
Enzo Hernandez He assures that none of the possible candidates will do anything for immigrants.
From community organizations and immigrant defense groups, there seems to be more clarity about the support they will give, and although there are still complaints to the current President and the Democratic Party for lack of measures that benefit communities, such as the approval of an immigration reform that legalizes to millions of undocumented immigrants and better working and living conditions both in New York and in the rest of the American Union, Trump is seen as a danger that must be stopped.
This is how he let it be seen Theo Oshiro, codirector ejecutivo de Make the Road Actionwho assured that part of that organization’s plan to stop the advance of the favorite to be the official candidate of the Republican party, will be to mobilize with strong work from volunteers and leaders in key states to move the balance.
“This year, Make the Road Action will engage voters in the five states where we work (New Jersey, New York, Nevada, Connecticut and Pennsylvania). It is crucial that we continue to fight anti-immigrant rhetoric and present a positive narrative about immigration and many other issues that are important to our communities,” Oshiro said. “We will work tirelessly this year in New York and key swing states to mobilize voters“.
