Demonstrators recently gathered near the White House, expressing support for President Trump's hardline immigration policies while waving Cuban flags. Many attendees, including recent immigrate Alexeys Blanco Diaz, praised Trump's crackdown on illegal immigration, acknowledging it as putative protection against oppressive regimes. Despite being a recent Cuban immigrant himself and facing challenges in the asylum process, Blanco Diaz supports Trump's actions, illustrating a complex alignment of immigrant experiences and political beliefs. The Trump administration has moved to restrict asylum access and ended previous supportive policies, which advocates claim are harmful and unnecessary.
I came in with my papers, with all of the evidence I have of being oppressed in Cuba. But nobody asked me anything. And at that moment, I thought, this is not right.
We are thankful that Donald Trump is taking action against illegal immigration.
If Blanco Diaz showed up at the border today, under President Trump, he would likely be turned away.
The White House moved quickly to block access to asylum at the border.
