Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe faced backlash for making Latinos the target of his jokes at a rally for former President Donald Trump at Madison Square Garden. In response, Astrid Silva, the founder of Dream Big Nevada, emphasized the importance of reminding the Latino community that they matter and contribute, regardless of their immigration status. Dream Big Nevada, a nonprofit organization, provides essential services to immigrant families and encourages them to advocate for themselves and others in similar situations. While not aligning with a particular political party, the organization urges individuals who can vote to make their voices heard at the polls.
Former Dreamer and naturalized citizen Uriel Escudero Garcia emphasized the importance of respecting the Latino community and supporting candidates who prioritize the needs of hardworking individuals who contribute to society. Garcia, who recently voted for the first time, highlighted that his vote was a way to advocate for those who are unable to do so, particularly his fellow Dreamer brothers and sisters who face an uncertain future. Despite reaching out to Latinos for Trump for comment, News 3 is still awaiting a response. Through stories like Garcia’s, the Latino community continues to strive for representation and respect in political discourse.
