DSA member of Congress…
"Mexicans fought an empire that demanded our land and our labor. And we won."
These people don’t see themselves as Americans. They don’t want to be. If America is "just an idea", then we should be able to deport her for not subscribing to it.
215 years ago, Mexicans fought an empire that demanded our land and our labor. And we won.
I'll carry that fight with me to Congress as New York's first Mexican American representative.
And I'm strengthened not just by Mexico's history but its present. Last month I met comrades in Morena who are standing up to the empires and corporations that have always taken from us – and building a government for the working class.
¡Viva la Independencia, Viva México!
