To the editor: Why are so many Cuban Individuals in Florida voicing their opposition to open borders? Why do they contemplate immigration one in all their most urgent considerations? (“Florida Democrats’ lesson for California: Do not take anybody’s assist as a right,” Nov. 16)
Have they forgotten the migration of 1000’s who fled the hostilities of the Cuban Revolution? What concerning the Mariel boatlift in 1980, which introduced Cubans fleeing oppression to the US? Or the continued Cuban migration disaster that began in 2021, the place financial difficulties rooted in Trump-era sanctions have sparked one other wave of individuals searching for entry to the US?
True, Latino voters are usually not one homogenous group, but when we might come collectively, we might discover that all of us need the identical factor: justice and freedom for all.

To the editor: I suppose the saying generally attributed to PT Barnum is true – a sucker is born each minute.
Anybody who helps former President Trump at this level has been duped and can’t, or is not going to, admit to themselves that they’ve been duped. There’s nothing redeemable about him.
His followers are actually in a cult, though they refuse to consider and settle for it. The pinnacle of the Republican Nationwide Committee has even stated that she is going to assist the previous president if he’s convicted.
Democratic voters should come out in overwhelming numbers. At this level I now not have any sympathy or empathy for these within the cult. None. They made the selection to assist a traitor. Allow them to lie within the mattress they’ve made for themselves.

To the editor: The Florida Latinos talked about on this article clearly didn’t study their lesson from Trump’s first time period as president. Non-citizens like Alejandro Rodriguez, a Nicaraguan residing in Florida, might face deportation if Trump is re-elected.
Who can overlook what candidate Trump stated to black voters in 2016: “What have you ever acquired to lose?” He definitely confirmed undocumented and non-state Latinos what they needed to lose.
Latinos have to get up. If you happen to assume Trump’s first spherical was unhealthy, one other will likely be hell on earth.

To the editor: Alejandro Rodriguez, an immigrant from Nicaragua, says that “if I’ve my door open, anybody can come out and in. The identical with borders.”
That comment acquired me interested by the story of scholars getting the next training. Together with congratulations, the provost asks what they recommend for these working towards the diploma. The reply: “Strengthen the necessities.”
Rodriguez’s perspective is kind of egocentric. He has entered this nation however helps restrictions on others. How will that perspective assist humanity within the face of local weather challenges which can be already scary migration from affected areas and threatening much more populations?
We want knowledgeable and artistic options to a essential scenario, not “the boat is full.”
