Voters who grew up in first and generation immigrant families must oppose cult dictatorial candidates

Echo opinion letters published in the Los Angeles Times:

To the editor: Why are so many Cuban Americans in Florida voicing their opposition to open borders? Why do they consider immigration one of their most ardent concerns? (“Florida Democrats’ lesson for California: Don’t take anyone’s support for granted,” Nov. 16)

Democratic voters must come out in overwhelming numbers

Have they forgotten the migration of thousands fleeing hostilities during the Cuban revolution? How about the Mariel boatlift of 1980, which brought Cubans fleeing oppression to the United States? Or the ongoing Cuban migration crisis that started in 2021, in which economic hardship rooted in the Trump-era sanctions has sparked another wave of people seeking entry into the U.S.?

True, Latino voters are not one homogeneous group, but if we could come together, we would find that we all want the same thing: justice and liberty for all. From Toni Martinez-Burgoyne, Pasadena

To the editor: Interesting how people from Venezuela and Cuba who escaped dictators in their home countries are now ready to endorse one here. From Fernando Torres, North Hills

To the editor: I guess the saying commonly attributed to P.T. Barnum is right — there’s a sucker born every minute.

Anyone who supports former President Trump at this juncture has fallen for the con and cannot, or will not, admit to themselves that they’ve been duped. There is nothing redeemable about him.

His supporters are now in a cult, even as they refuse to believe and accept it. The head of the Republican National Committee has even said she will support the former president, (even❓) if he is convicted❗😡

Democratic voters must come out in overwhelming numbers. 

At this point, I no longer have any sympathy or empathy for those who are in the cult. None. They made the choice to support a traitor. Let them lie in the bed they’ve made for themselves. From Scott Hughes, Westlake Village
