The Democratic Party charged against the immigration measures of President Donald Trump and accused him of wanting to sow “terror” in the country. Congressman Adriano Espaillat, who was in charge of the message, questioned the economic and reorganization strategy of the government.
In his discharge for the Democratic Party, Congressman Adriano Espaillat had the responsibility of answering in Spanish To the speech of the president of the United States, Donald Trumpfor those who had strong qualifiers for the way of directing the country.
“It acts as a king, as if it were a monarch more than if it were a president,” said Espaillat who is the position of president of the Hispanic Caucus of Congress.
Espaillat sent his video message from the East Harlem, in the New York city district where he was chosen.
The American dream
Epaillat is born in Santiago de los Caballeros, the Dominican Republic, so it frequently takes this aspect as a spearhead to defend immigrants who have arrived in the United States in search of a better future.
“We all arrive in the United States of America for the American dream, the possibility of achieving a better life and creating a better future for our children working hard, hugging diversity and taking advantage of the opportunity that this great nation gives us all,” he explained.
The congressman also mentioned “the environment of terror” that said the president has created against the community of emigrants.
Among the Migratory measures More controversial undertaken by Trump, there is that of sending hundreds of irregular immigrants to the detention center at the facilities of the Naval Base in Guantanamo, Cuba. Civil Rights Groups have protested that route, claiming lack of guarantees in due process for detainees, to whom the White House Tilda de criminals and perpetrating criminal gangs such as the Venezuelan Train of Aragua.
“Trump's migratory measures are not designed as he and his allies say, to deport criminals that they should really be deported but to crack a kingdom of terror that negatively impacts the local economy.
The Democratic congressman criticized the Republican president for the voluminous amount of executive orders he has signed since January 20 when he assumed his position in the White House.
The decrees signed by Trump range from those related to border security, linked to immigration policy, as well as others of economic order to some that have resulted in particular interest such as the name of America to the former Gulf of Mexico or declare English as an official language.
Inflation linked, mass layoffs
Espaillat, also referred to the campaign promises of the Republican, who attacked his democratic rivals for economic inflation without having achieved a specific result to date.
“Today he didn't tell us what measures to take to lower inflation rates,” he said.
In that sense, he said that the price of eggs has continued to rise in recent weeks, as well as the scarce access of workers “to buy a decent residence for their families and every day that passes it seems more a dream impossible to achieve” due to high costs.
The announced imposition of tariffs on Mexico and Canada – which precisely entered into force this Tuesday – was qualified by Espaillat as “a disastrous economic measure.”
Another aspect indicated as a negative by Hispanic congressman Adriano Spaillat against President Trump was that of the historic wave of layoffs that has occurred after the closure or reorganization of important government agencies such as the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the cessation of officials and researchers in the Federal Agency for Emergency Management (FEMA) and take to the unemployment of hundreds of hundreds Meteorologists of the National Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
The Democratic part also criticized the appointment Trump made by billionaire Elon Musk at the head of the Government Efficiency Department (Doge) and who has as a mission the reduction of the bureaucratic apparatus of the US government, but has left thousands of workers in limbo.
At the end of February the number of Americans who requested unemployment help in 22,000, reaching 242,000 in the third week of that month, according to Labor Department data. The analysts project that 220,000 new applications would be presented.
Weekly applications for unemployment help are considered an indicator of layoffs. The average four weeks, which softens part of weekly volatility, increased by 8,500, reaching 224,000. Analysts expect the layoffs after the expenses of expenses proposed by the Doge appear in the report in the coming weeks or months.
“The cut of government employees that President Trump makes through the richest man on the planet, Elon Musk, is an inhuman measure and lacking planning and sanity,” he said.
He accused both of trying to deceive Americans, explaining that the aforementioned cutting plan. “They created the Doge agency that seeks to cut escencial programs such as Social Security, Medicaide, Assistance to Veterans and Aviation Security,” said Espaillat.
“No one voted for Elon Musk,” he said.
