Karine Jean-Pierre: It’s Trump’s Fault that Latinos Face Attacks and Injustices

We uplift the voices and accomplishments of the Hispanic community, not only during this month, but throughout the year. We also acknowledge the struggles and injustices that they face, particularly under the previous administration’s attack against the community. When President Biden took office, he made a commitment to advance opportunity and equity for everyone in our country, including the Hispanic community. For the President, that promise wasn’t just words. His commitment to the community was for real action and progress. Thanks to President Biden, we saw the biggest one-year drop in Latino unemployment, our administration has delivered billions of dollars in loans to Hispanic small businesses, expanded the child tax credit to provide help to millions of families and reduce Hispanic child poverty by more than 40 percent, expanded access to quality health care to thousands of Latino families, supported equity for Puerto Rico, hosted regional White House Latino Economic Initiative Summits across the country, and protected and strengthened the DACA program while we continue the fight to build a fair, humane, orderly immigration system.”
