MIAMI—A diverse group of supporters gathered outside President Donald Trump’s hotel in Doral, Florida, hoping to catch a glimpse of him during a recent Latinos roundtable event. Many were exiles from socialist or communist regimes such as Cuba and Venezuela.
This personal backdrop—many having fled to America—and the notion that the Democratic Party has been shifting further left, are key factors behind their support. The administration’s repeated sanctions against the regimes of Venezuela and Cuba helped solidify their decisions.
Jorde Lewis, a Venezuelan American, said he couldn’t comprehend why anyone from his home country would vote for the Democratic Party, since he believes they are “offering socialism.” A majority of Venezuelans live in poverty and millions have fled the regime.
“We left socialism to come to a capitalist state,” Lewis told The Epoch Times on Sept. 25. “I know exactly what it’s like to live under socialism, not to have food, not to have electricity.”
“The minimum salary in my country is a joke,” he said. “Its $5—and a bottle of ketchup is $1.”
In July, presidential candidate Joe Biden said he would be “the most progressive president in American history.” His agenda has also been described as progressive by left-wing media.
Lewis said he fled to America because of the opportunities it presented as a capitalistic society. He doesn’t want a big government, he wants a small one, “so we can have the freedom to be human beings.” This year, Lewis won’t be voting by mail: “I come from a socialist country and they always cheat in the elections.”
“We don’t want this country to become the country that we left behind,” he said. “We want institutions, we want freedom, freedom of religion, the right to bear arms.”

It will be ironic when Immigrants and black men save America from suburban Karrens.
Question is are there enough of them to ward off the rats along with the fraud taking place now?
I was at a Chase bank in the San Fernando valley last month and a guy from Romania was in line speaking very loudly about the rise of communism in the U.S. I cheered him on but I was the only one in a flock of Sheeple.
I have a naturalized Chinese-American friend, i’ve riibbed him that he should have held out 20 more years over there; he didn’t need to move. He gives me a dirty look.
My experience has been that there are no more fervent supporters of this country than first-gen naturalized citizens.
That’s me
“It will be ironic when Immigrants and black men save America from suburban Karrens.”
If most immigrants were like them the Rats wpuld be rushing to build the wall and uprooting sanctuary cities.
I work with a pro from the Eastern Block and he cannot believe the liberals in this country.

Naturalized citizens vote 70%-80% Democrat.
Asian Indians, who might be the best educated ethnic group in the USA, voted 80% to reelect Obama.
In 2016, Asian Indians voted 77% for Hillary.
There is no place to run, folks. The US is the literal Alamo of the world. We must make our stand here and now.

Unfortunately, history demonstrates that once the cultural revolution has started...there is no way to stop it without bloodshed. If history remains our measuring stick, 8 million people will die and we may not see freedom again for generations to come.
“Naturalized citizens vote 70%-80% Democrat.”
If that is true, conservatives are not doing a good job of making their case, or Iibs are doing a very good job “helping” them to vote.
