Democratic Hispanic Caucus of Florida

We are heartened to see that for the first time in 12 years, the U.S bishops issued a joint statement addressing the current situation impacting immigrants in our nation. We thank @Pontifex for leading the way as the voice of the voiceless and for standing up for human dignity.

Elvira Salazar must be very confused because the only one openly supporting communists is her Papi Trump, who stood next to Venezuelan communist dictator Delcy Rodriguez and praised her as a “terrific person” and is also buying diesel from Putin. Get it straight, Maria Mentira!

We were honored to welcome Democratic Leader Congressman @RepJeffries to South Florida in support of U.S. House candidate for congressional district 27, Eliott Rodriguez @ERodforCongress! We are ready to send Maria Elvira Salazar home and Eliott to Congress! Vote #24 on the ballot for change!

Many in our communities have fled fascist and communist dictatorships, and we recognize authoritarians when we see them. In November, we have the opportunity to vote for all who support a free Florida, a free America, and our Constitution and the rule of law. #BlueWaveln40Days

María Corina Machado @MariaCorinaYA has been denied entry to Venezuela 7 times. The most recent denial was because the country closed its airspace. There's no reason to think the Trump administration is prioritizing regime change over oil and the profits it brings. While Venezuelans long to see their nation free from Rodriguez’s communist dictatorship and are struggling to recover from a brutal earthquake, Delcy stayed in a presidential suite at the Lotte Hotel, priced at $15,000 per night. The same man who likes to call Democrats “communists” seems to be enjoying his friendship with communist dictator Delcy Rodriguez very much. The hypocrisy is shamelessly astounding!

Silencing dissent and the media is at the top of the authoritarian playbook. It can also backfire on you, like we saw today when he had no mic because the press pool wasn't there. We stand with the media and #No1stAmendmentBan in a free America!

Last night, 2,977 lights filled the New York sky, forming the Twin Towers—one light for every life lost on September 11, 2001. Not just lights.
Lives. Behind every light was a person who was loved. A mother, father, child, spouse, friend, or colleague. Each with a story, a family, hopes, dreams, and a tomorrow that never came. 250 of those lives lost were of Hispanic and Latino heritage. Twenty-five years later, we remember not only what happened, but the people we lost—and the families whose lives were changed forever. For those who remember that morning, the memories remain. For those too young to remember, we have a responsibility to tell their stories and keep their names alive. Because they were never just a number; they were 2,977 lives. 2,977 life stories. 2,977 human beings who mattered. Last night’s lights remind us that even after the darkest night, there is always a light worth protecting. Let us honor those we lost by choosing love over hate, compassion over fear, and unity over division. Let us never allow hatred to have the final word in our country. May their memory be our light, their courage our strength, and their lives our inspiration to build a kinder, more united America. We remember. We honor. We carry their light forward. #neverforget #911remembrance
