Caribbean immigration advocates, labor union welcome Democratic midterm sweep 

Caribbean immigration advocates Tuesday night, Nov. 3, welcomed voters’ overwhelming rejection of President Donald J. Trump’s policies by giving Democrats control of both Houses of Congress.

“Voters today sent a clear message: we need a government that is responsive to the needs of immigrants, working-class families, our trans and gender-expansive loved ones, young people, women, and Black and brown communities,” said Natalia Aristizabal, co-executive director of Make the Road New York (MRNY), an immigrant advocacy group.
