In a recent visit to North Las Vegas, Nevada, former President Donald Trump expressed his commitment to legal immigration and the prosperity of Hispanic Americans.
Speaking at a warehouse in the city's enterprise zone, Trump outlined his vision for a future where legal immigration is embraced and the Hispanic community thrives.
According to The New York Post, Trump addressed the crowd at an event organized by Building America's Future, an advocacy group. He stated, Were gonna have a lot of people come in, but it has to be done legally. The former president also highlighted the economic achievements of Hispanic Americans during his tenure, stating, Your household income was the highest it ever was; the Hispanic American poverty hit the lowest rate ever.
The event drew an estimated 500 supporters, who sacrificed their weekend to show their support for Trump, who currently holds a slight lead over Vice President Kamala Harris in Nevada. Trump expressed confidence in his popularity, asserting, We have far more people than the other side. He also predicted that the Trump-Vance ticket could secure over half of the Hispanic vote.
His optimistic outlook resonated with Hispanic Nevadans, many of whom have been adversely affected by the inflation experienced during the Biden-Harris administration. Air Force veteran and Clark County School Board candidate Lydia Dominguez expressed her frustration with the current economic situation, stating, We are on a Democratic diet right now. And Im tired of being on that diet.
While Harris made her appeal to Hispanic voters at a Univision town hall broadcast at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, Trump's event was moderated by former Rep. Maya Flores, R-Tex., and featured Nevada GOP Senate candidate Sam Brown and Robert Unanue, the CEO of Goya Foods. Unanue humorously referred to Harris as Que Mala So bad and criticized the Biden-Harris economy for the 64% increase in the price of cans used by his factory since 2021.
Supporters of Trump expressed hope that another Trump administration would benefit their businesses and families. The Rev. Jonathan Quezada, pastor of The Harvest LV Church in Henderson, brought his three children to the event, stating, Were Trump supporters more than anything. He represents a lot of the values that we have and that we represent. So we just want to get [him] to the finish line.
As the political landscape continues to evolve, recent surveys by Real Clear Politics have indicated a potential shift in favor of Trump in Nevada. This development, coupled with the former president's commitment to legal immigration and the prosperity of Hispanic Americans, could have significant implications for the future of American politics.
