As a “citizen of the world,” Jacin Alfaro said he was not too concerned about the proposed campaign for mass deportation of President Donald Trump and anti -immigrant rhetoric.
Alfaro, a 40-year-old worker of the delivery company, came to the United States more than 25 years ago, running away from the El Salvador Civil War. He has experienced political cataclysms and racism before.
“We are an easy prey for him, but I think we need to survive and learn, and most importantly, this makes us stronger,” Alfaro said.
Alfaro was just one of the dozens who attended the full “Know Your Rights” forum in North Las Vegas, led by the Cinthia Moore (D-North Las Vegas) assembly, Democrats General Aaron Ford, Senator Edgar Flores (D-Las Vegas ) and South Nevada Deputy Secretary of State Ruben Rodriguez. The organizers advised the attendees what to do if immigration officials appear at their house or in the workplace and repeated government policies over immigration and deportation.
But Alfaro and a few of a half dozen attendees India He spoke at the event, in spite of Trump’s anti-immigration rhetoric rhetoric, they did not panic for Trump’s agenda-especially, given that they “survived” through his first administration and they consider much of his programs to be impractical.
The consequences of the Trump immigration labor program, which includes a campaign for mass deportation and refuge, can have a particularly pronounced effect on Nevada, where about 1 in 5 residents is born abroad. Nevada has the largest unsuccessful population per capita of each country and the largest share of mixed status families in the country. Immigration defenders have warned that, in addition to dividing families, Trump’s agenda can be widely destroyed to Nevada’s economy and cultural tissue.
Nevada employees have expressed doubts about the practicality of Trump’s immigration program. Just last week, governor Joe Lombardo told reporters that he did not believe that mass deportation was a “appropriate policy”, saying that it would take “excessive time” and citing staff problems with immigration and customs application (ICE). Meanwhile, reporter Mark Amade (R-NV), who is responsible for the budgetary undercommented budgetary, which controls the Ministry of Homeland Security, said that even more funding would take time to build the infrastructure needed to deport.
With this in mind, Amade said he did not believe that undocumented people were under an immediate threat.
However, the organizers of the forum on Thursday warn people not to allow immigration officers in their home, even if the person responsible is legal. If they live in a mixed -status family, they could put others in their household at risk, Flores said.
Even if ice employees appear with an order, Flores reminded the audience that they can always want to talk to a lawyer first, just to confirm that this document is valid and signed by a judge.
“Keep calm,” Flores warned.
Maria Guadalupe Arreola, 70, said she was the most worried of her niece, who is a dreamer, recipient of the Obama era’s deferred action program, which has given temporary protection to people who brought to the country illegally as children.
She does not believe that many of Trump’s proposals, such as his proposal to get rid of the citizenship of firstborn rights, will come true, but it is still restless.
“I’m a little worried about dividing families with mass deportations. The bigger part of us come to work to look for a better future. We are not bad people, “Aloola said.
As Trump’s mandate started last Monday, advocacy groups and legal aid organizations throughout Nevada began to host events, including protests against mass deportments and information sessions for undocumented immigrants. On Tuesday night, the Immigrant Coalition in Nevada and other local organizations held a rally outside the Las Vegas Federal Court of Justice.
Many of the organizers of this event seemed cautiously optimistic. Jesse Rivera, a 21-year-old UNLV student at the non-profit Somos Votantes, said he was concerned about himself and his family, who immigrate from Mexico and the consequences of Trump’s blocked executive order.
However, Rivera said that it remains the hope that by organizing the community he would be able to overcome the threats of deportation and hateful rhetoric.
“You just have to continue to work,” Rivera said. “You can’t let this weigh on you and prevent you from working.”
