As President of Latinos for America First and Latinos for Trump, I am issuing a stark warning: If the Trump campaign does not radically intensify its efforts with the Latino electorate, we are handing victory to the Democrats on a silver platter in 2024.

Our Latino community is not just an influential demographic; it is the pivotal battleground that will determine whether we save our nation or let it crumble under leftist ruin. The stakes are astronomical, and yet, our outreach is woefully, almost negligently, inadequate.

This is not a minor oversight — it is a catastrophic failure that threatens to derail our conservative movement and betray the very principles we hold dear.

In states brimming with electoral power like Florida, Texas and Arizona, the Latino vote is absolutely decisive. But what is the Trump campaign doing? We seem content with superficial engagement, completely oblivious to the Democrats who are tirelessly working to lock down these votes with promises and deceit about their disastrous policies.

It is infuriating to watch potential victories slip through our fingers because of complacency and a lack of aggressive, targeted campaigning.

Our community, steeped in values of hard work, family, and patriotism, is naturally conservative, yet the Democrats portray us as monolithically liberal. This gross misrepresentation goes unchallenged far too often, allowing them to make inroads with our people through lies and manipulation.

It’s time for the Trump campaign to wake up and deploy a full-scale war effort in Latino outreach. We need more than token Spanish ads and occasional rallies. We need a persistent, boots-on-the-ground operation that goes door to door, community to community, explaining why the Republican platform is the true champion of Latino aspirations.

We need to expose the left’s crippling socialist agendas that have wreaked havoc in the countries many of our families fled. We must be relentless in debunking the myths peddled by the Democrats, who have done nothing but exploit Latino voters for their own political gain while delivering misery and dependency.

Furthermore, we must tackle the issues of immigration and border security head-on with boldness and truth. We must advocate for strong, secure borders coupled with a fair and dignified immigration system.

The left wants to paint our push for security as anti-immigrant, but we know it is about protecting everyone inside our borders, including millions of Latinos who call America home.

This is a call to arms. The 2024 election is not just another political contest; it is a cultural and ideological war for the heart and soul of America.

The Trump campaign must ignite a fierce and unyielding outreach to Latino voters, shattering the leftist stranglehold and bringing our people into the conservative fold en masse. Anything less is unacceptable and will be met with the harshest condemnation from those of us who know just how much is at stake.

We will accept nothing short of a vigorous, unwavering commitment to winning the Latino vote. Let’s go on the offensive and ensure that our victory in 2024 is not just possible but unequivocally certain.

The time for timidity is over. We fight now, or we face defeat.
