OPINION:
The Biden-Harris administration’s misguided policies have driven our nation to the brink of chaos, undermining core American values and principles that resonate deeply in the Hispanic community. This administration’s open borders, unchecked spending and socialist tendencies threaten not only the American dream but also the very foundation of our national security and economic prosperity.
The Hispanic community, now more than 60 million strong, stands at a pivotal moment in America’s future. With their undeniable contributions — economically, culturally and through service in the armed forces — Hispanics exemplify the grit and determination that define this nation.
Yet the Biden-Harris regime has tried to sabotage these values. Their policies endanger the aspirations of millions of hardworking Hispanic Americans who, like many, just want safety, opportunity and a government that upholds the rule of law.
While progressives push their agenda, failing to protect our borders and favoring foreign interests over American jobs, the America First movement stands firmly with Hispanic Americans. As a Texas native, I can attest to the contributions this community, which values faith, hard work, entrepreneurship and a traditional family structure, has made in our country.
The Biden-Harris administration, however, is eroding those principles with its reckless border policies, cutting funding to law enforcement and promoting economic stagnation through burdensome regulations.
This administration’s failure to address the immigration crisis is especially harmful. Rather than ensuring safe and lawful immigration, this failure has led to dangerous consequences for both Hispanic Americans and our nation.
Unchecked illegal immigration has resulted in increased human trafficking, drug smuggling and crime — all of which disproportionately affect Hispanic communities. Meanwhile, President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have turned a blind eye, more interested in appeasing progressives than protecting Americans of all political stripes.
Economically, Hispanic Americans have thrived under policies prioritizing job creation and deregulation — policies championed by the America First agenda. The administration’s bloated government spending and heavy-handed regulations stifle this progress, making it harder for Hispanic-owned businesses to succeed. On Mr. Biden and Ms. Harris’ watch, the American dream is becoming harder to achieve, especially for the Hispanic entrepreneurs who are the backbone of many communities.
We cannot ignore the reality that Mr. Biden and Ms. Harris are out of touch with the values cherished by millions of Hispanic Americans. Their push for progressive policies prioritizes government control over individual liberty, suffocates economic growth and weakens national security.
These policies are directly at odds with the America First agenda, which seeks to empower all Americans, especially those who have built their lives on the promise of hard work and opportunity.
Progressives’ divisive tactics — pitting communities against one another and exploiting cultural differences — are a cynical attempt to fracture our nation. But Hispanics see through these schemes. They know that America First stands for strong borders, economic freedom and a government that works for the people, not against them.
As we look ahead, it’s more critical than ever to ensure that Hispanic voices are heard and amplified in the fight against the destructive policies of the Biden-Harris administration. The Hispanic community’s commitment to the America First agenda is a powerful force that can help restore this nation’s greatness. Together, we can reject failed liberal policies and build a future that prioritizes every American’s safety, prosperity and liberty.
It’s time to hold President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris accountable for their failures and stand united with the Hispanic community in defending the principles that have made our country great. By aligning with the America First movement, Hispanics are ensuring that their families, their businesses and their future remain secure in a nation that values them — not as political pawns but as vital contributors to America’s enduring legacy of freedom and opportunity.
