To fellow desis
In this letter, Revathi underscores the very high stakes of the 2024 election for the desi American community.
Dear Fellow Desis,
November 5th is a little over two months away, and we have a lot at stake in its outcome. I came to this country as a 21-year-old and was afforded the finest of higher education opportunities. Following that I had a long and meaningful career in healthcare and hospital administration. At every step of the way, I was never challenged about my national origin, the colour of my skin, or my religion. I believe that this is true of most of our Desi community.
Donald Trump and his MAGA followers and the infamous Project 2025 could potentially stifle any future contributions that our community could make to the nation by negatively impacting immigration. During his time in office, Trump spoke about the possibility of “denaturalizing” naturalized citizens for reasons that were obscure. Stephen Miller – remember that name? Mr. Miller was one of Trump’s most trusted advisors on immigration policy.
He has a well-known hatred of anyone who is non-white – hmmm, that would be people who look like you and me!! He was and will again be the architect of restricting every type of legal immigration imaginable.
There are numerous other reasons to vote against a second term for Donald Trump: protecting women’s rights and voting rights, saving healthcare and stopping gun violence amongst others.
The choice is clear: Kamala Devi Harris and Tim Walz as the Democratic nominees for President and Vice-President will respect our Desi community and all for which we stand. Freedom and Democracy!
So, my plea to you, my fellow Desis, is to please VOTE for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz on November 5th so that we can continue to contribute to this country and be seen as citizens who stand for democratic values and the rule of law.
