NORTH LAS VEGAS, Nevada — Former President Donald Trump promised a new wave of legal immigration and greater prosperity for Hispanics as he stopped at a massive warehouse in this city’s enterprise zone Saturday.
“We’re gonna have a lot of people come in, but it has to be done legally,” the ex-prez said at the event organized by Building America’s Future, an advocacy group.

“We did great and for the Hispanic Americans, because that’s why we’re here, I want to just say household income for Hispanic Americans . . . your household income was the highest it ever was; the Hispanic American poverty hit the lowest rate ever.”
An estimated 500 supporters gave up a weekend day to spend time in line and sit patiently for the man who has a 0.2% lead over Vice President Kamala Harris in the Silver State.

“We have far more people than the other side,” Trump told the crowd. He predicted the Trump-Vance ticket could end up “breaking 50% of the Hispanic vote.”

That optimism resonated with Hispanic Nevadans who said Biden-Harris-era inflation has hit them hard.
“We are on a Democratic diet right now,” Lydia Dominguez, the Air Force veteran and candidate for the Clark County School Board, told the audience, referring to the inflation she’s faced since 2021 and its impact on her grocery tab. “And I’m tired of being on that diet.”
Harris, whose surrogates acknowledge being “scared” about her prospects here, made her own appeal to Hispanic voters Thursday, taping a Univision town hall broadcast at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, campus.

Trump spoke at an event moderated by former Rep. Maya Flores, R-Tex., with Nevada GOP Senate candidate Sam Brown and Robert Unanue, the controversial CEO of Goya Foods.

To laughter from the Spanish-speaking audience members, Unanue dubbed Harris “Que Mala” — “So bad” — and lamented the performance of the Biden-Harris economy, where he said the price of cans used by his factory has shot up 64% since 2021. Higher fertilizer prices caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, he said, have also impacted the Hispanic foods company.
Before the event, supporters said they’re hoping another Trump administration would help their businesses and families.

The Rev. Jonathan Quezada, pastor of The Harvest LV Church in Henderson, brought his three children to the event, telling The Post, “We’re Trump supporters more than anything. He represents a lot of the values that we have and that we represent. So we just want to get [him] to the finish line.”
This week, Real Clear Politics gave the state to Trump in its survey of “no toss-up” states.
Neither of the authors of “Homesteading 2.0” (Dec. 15 Review-Journal) lives in Nevada. Yet, they believe they are qualified to advocate for increased development of our public lands.
To date, much new development has focused on luxury housing and green energy projects, rather than the need for affordable housing. While the authors acknowledge our successful conservation efforts, they fail to mention that current residents are being heavily regulated by the water authority, facing penalties, and pressured to reduce water usage. Lawns are being replaced with desert landscaping, and ongoing development to accommodate growth is contributing to the urban heat island effect. This growth has led to more congested roadways, wildlife encroaching into urban areas due to habitat loss and reduced access to recreational spaces that residents once enjoyed.
One of the defining features of Las Vegas was the open space surrounding the valley, which has long been a unique advantage of living in the Southwest. We must carefully consider how much growth we are willing to support moving forward.
Due to rainy weather forecast, the Annual Menorah Lighting in Nevada City has been moved indoors to The Miners Foundry (325 Spring St, Nevada City). Co-sponsored by Chabad of Grass Valley and The Miners Foundry, this special and FREE Chanukah celebration will take place on Thursday, December 26, at 4:00 p.m., and the public is invited to join the fun.
This year, for the first time ever, the event will feature the lighting of a 12-foot illuminated menorah, the largest and brightest in Nevada County. The menorah lighting promises to be an inspiring and memorable moment, bringing the community and our elected officials together to celebrate the message of Chanukah.
The evening will also include a unique performance by a Hassidic fire performer from Brooklyn, adding excitement and energy to the festivities. Guests will enjoy live Chanukah music, singing, and dancing, along with warm Starbucks coffee. Delicious latkes and donuts will be served, and there will be Chanukah gelt and dreidels for everyone to enjoy.

“Chanukah is about bringing more light into the world each day,” said Rabbi Nochum Yusewitz. “We’re grateful to be able to gather indoors this year to keep everyone warm and dry while celebrating the holiday together. Although it’s the 9th year we are organizing this, there are lots of ‘firsts’ this year so that’s very exciting.”
