En un giro inesperado sobre sus políticas y con planes en puerta de terminar el programa que protege a “dreamers”, el presidente Donald Trump firmó una Orden Ejecutiva para impulsar el bienestar de la comunidad latina, reconociendo su aporte a los Estados Unidos.



La acción del republicano ocurre un día después de la visita del presidente mexicano Andrés Manuel López Obrador a Washington y cerca del proceso electoral de noviembre, donde el voto hispano será relevante, pero según las encuestas se inclina por el exvicepresidente Joe Biden.


El documento “Iniciativa de Prosperidad Hispana de la Casa Blanca” fue firmada por el mandatario en el Jardín de las Rosas y busca, según la Casa Blanca, ayudar a que este grupo étnico logre “el sueño americano”.


“Esta Orden Ejecutiva establece la Iniciativa de Prosperidad Hispana de la Casa Blanca y el Grupo de Trabajo Interagencial”, indica un informe oficial de la Administración Trump, la cual también crea la Comisión Asesora del Presidente sobre Prosperidad Hispana.


El objetivo, se indica, es mejorar el acceso a oportunidades educativas, de capacitación y económicas para los latinos.


“Esto mediante la promoción de opciones para mejorar la elección de escuelas, el aprendizaje personalizado, la participación familiar, la educación cívica y los caminos hacia trabajos de mayor demanda”, indica.


El plan del presidente Trump surge a la par que mantiene sus intenciones de terminar con el programa de los Llegados en la Infancia (DACA), que beneficia a más de 700,000 “dreamers” y sus familias, muchos de ellos estudiantes universitarios o egresados.


La Administración Trump defiende su proyecto al asegurar que los trabajadores y las familias hispanas “prosperan bajo las políticas del presidente Trump”, aunque no menciona a los inmigrantes.


“Bajo el liderazgo del presidente Trump, nuevos empleos e inversiones están llegando a casi 9,000 Zonas de Oportunidades recientemente designadas, hogar de más de 9 millones de hispanos”, afirma la autoridad.


Durante el evento de la firma, el presidente Trump mencionó la visita de “su amigo”, López Obrador y destacando que la relación entre EE.UU. y México es “más fuerte que nunca”, a pesar de los insultos a la comunidad migrante, afirmando que eran “violadores” y “criminales”.


“(Esta orden) expandirá los esfuerzos de todas dependencias federales, para acercar la educación y oportunidades económicas para los hispanos”, afirmó el republicano.



En un reporte de datos, la Casa Blanca destaca que antes de la pandemia de coronavirus, la tasa de desempleo hispano alcanzó un mínimo histórico de 3.9%, aunque diversos estudios señalan que son justamente los latinos quienes más han perdido su trabajo y poder adquisitivo durante esta crisis de salud.


La Administración Trump presumió que en 2018, la tasa de pobreza para los hispanos alcanzó el nivel más bajo registrado, ya que desde 2016 casi 611,000 han salido de esa condición, además de que el nivel promedio de ingresos aumentó a $50,000 dólares anuales por familia.


Según datos del Pew Research Center, el 13.3% de los votantes elegibles en los Estados Unidos este año son latinos, lo que representa un récord.


Las encuestas a nivel nacional señalan que más del 60% de los votantes hispanos respaldan al exvicepresidente Biden, pero el reciente libro del historiador Geraldo Cadava, “The Hispanic Republican: The Shaping of an American Political Identity, from Nixon to Trump”, revela que un tercio de los sufragantes latinos son fieles al Partido Republicano.


A inicios de este año, antes de la pandemia de coronavirus, en sus mítines, el presidente Trump comenzó a enfocarse más a la comunidad hispana, como ocurrió en Nevada.


“¡Cerca de un tercio de personas que se registraron en el #TrumpRally en Las Vegas fueron blancos y latinos!”, indicó la campaña de Trump en febrero sobre el mitin en Nevada. “El presidente @realDonaldTrump ha creado una economía inclusiva y ha puesto a TODOS los estadounidenses primero… Los demócratas siguen dividiéndonos”.


El Pew proyecta que en Arizona, el 24% de los votantes elegibles este año son latinos, dos puntos porcentuales más que en 2016; mientras que en Florida se proyecta que los latinos sean el 20% de los sufragantes.

Executive Order on the White House Hispanic Prosperity Initiative ssued on: July 9, 2020

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, and in order to improve Hispanic Americans’ access to educational and economic opportunities, it is hereby ordered as follows:

Section 1.  Purpose.  The success of Hispanic Americans is integral to the economic future of our country.  As more than 60 million Hispanics live in the United States today, Hispanics are the largest minority group in the country.  Hispanics are also the Nation’s youngest major racial or ethnic group.  Generations of Hispanics constituting different backgrounds and cultures have contributed to building a strong and prosperous America.  Their collective contributions continue a legacy of inspiration that is a cherished part of the American experience.

While we celebrate the many ways Hispanic Americans have contributed to our Nation, we also recognize that they face challenges in accessing educational and economic opportunities.  In the last 3 years, my Administration has supported school choice, Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs), and new career pathways, including apprenticeships and work-based learning initiatives, because quality education options offering multiple pathways to economic success are critical to developing our Nation’s potential for the jobs of tomorrow.  My Administration has also supported investment in economically distressed communities, including through Opportunity Zones, and economic opportunities for small and minority-owned businesses.  The initiative set forth in this order increases emphasis on the connection between educational and economic opportunities, and exploring and promoting opportunities for Hispanic Americans, both through and outside traditional education options, that lead to economic prosperity.

 Today, Americans have more paths to prosperity than any previous generation, and it is necessary to ensure that Hispanic Americans have every opportunity to access these pathways and to fulfill their educational and economic aspirations.

Sec. 2.  White House Hispanic Prosperity Initiative.  There is established the White House Hispanic Prosperity Initiative (Initiative), housed in the Department of Education (Department).

(a)  The mission of the Initiative shall be to improve access by Hispanic Americans to educational and economic opportunities.  Consistent with its mission, the Initiative shall:

(e)  As part of the Initiative, there is established an Interagency Working Group (Working Group) to collaborate regarding resources and opportunities available across the Federal Government to increase educational and economic opportunities for Hispanic Americans.  The Working Group shall also serve as a channel for communication between the Initiative and other agencies.
