资深劳工活动家多洛雷斯·韦尔塔表示，特朗普总统针对墨西哥裔的贬损言论表明他“不懂历史”，并呼吁加利福尼亚州、得克萨斯州及其他州的拉丁裔选民在11月的选举中推动变革。
“我只想说，此刻属于我们，”这位96岁的活动家在接受哥伦比亚广播公司新闻采访时说道。
她回顾了特朗普首次总统竞选的开端：“你知道的，总统从那部自动扶梯走下来后的第一件事，就是攻击墨西哥人……他不懂历史。他不知道得克萨斯州曾是墨西哥的一部分。”
特朗普在2015年竞选启动演讲中称，墨西哥“没有把最优秀的人才送到美国”，并声称：“他们带来了毒品，带来了犯罪，他们是强奸犯。而且我猜，其中一些人是好人。”
韦尔塔自20世纪60年代起就活跃于政治和民权运动领域，她与塞萨尔·查韦斯共同创立了后来发展为美国农场工人联合会的组织。她因推广西班牙语口号“是的，我们可以”（Sí, se puede）而闻名，数十年来这一口号被诸多政治和劳工运动广泛采用，2008年巴拉克·奥巴马的竞选团队就使用了其英文翻译版本“Yes, we can”。今年早些时候，韦尔塔因成为最新指控查韦斯存在性行为不端的人士而引发关注。
韦尔塔周末在得克萨斯州民主党代表大会上发表了讲话，她对民主党人数十年来首次角逐得州全州公职的艰难竞选之路抱有信心。州众议员詹姆斯·塔拉里科和吉娜·希诺霍萨分别是该党提名的参议员和州长候选人，将对阵共和党候选人肯·帕克斯顿和州长格雷格·雅培。
《纽约时报》与锡耶纳学院周二发布的民调显示，塔拉里科与帕克斯顿的支持率均为47%，不相上下；而连任三届的现任州长雅培以个位数优势领先希诺霍萨。塔拉里科获得了61%的得州西班牙裔选民支持，这个关键投票群体在2024年该州总统选举中以55%的票仓支持特朗普。
共和党方面试图将塔拉里科描绘成过于激进的极左翼候选人，大肆渲染他过去关于性别等议题的言论。韦尔塔在接受哥伦比亚广播公司新闻采访时表示，共和党对塔拉里科的“攻击”简直“荒谬可笑”。
谈及拉丁裔选民的力量，韦尔塔指出，希诺霍萨以及加利福尼亚州州长竞选的民主党候选人哈维尔·贝塞拉都是西班牙裔。贝塞拉在民主党占绝对优势的加利福尼亚州被看好胜选。
“所以，如果这种情况能在加利福尼亚发生，那也能在得克萨斯发生，”她补充道。
加利福尼亚州的选民基础远比得克萨斯州偏向民主党。但希诺霍萨在接受哥伦比亚广播公司新闻采访时指出，根据出口民调数据，2018年得克萨斯州民主党参议员候选人贝托·奥罗克获得了64%的拉丁裔选票，这帮助他以仅差2.6个百分点的差距险些击败共和党现任参议员特德·克鲁兹。“如果我在2026年能拿到64%的拉丁裔选票，我就能赢，”希诺霍萨说道。
“民众渴望变革，”希诺霍萨表示，“得克萨斯州当前的局势是，存在着反现任官员的情绪。”
“那些掌控社交媒体算法、掌控有线电视新闻网、掌控我们屏幕上政客的亿万富翁们，正在挑动邻里对立，削弱让得克萨斯州如此伟大的友爱情感，他们以党派、种族、性别、宗教为分歧点分裂我们，这样我们就不会注意到他们在掏空我们的钱包，”塔拉里科在代表大会上说道，“这是世界上最古老的策略：分而治之，但在这些亿万富翁将我们分裂成不同阵营的当下，得克萨斯不会被征服。”

Labor activist Dolores Huerta says Trump “does not know history” with past comments on Mexican people
June 30, 2026 / 11:24 PM EDT / CBS News
Longtime labor activist Dolores Huerta says President Trump’s disparaging remarks about Mexicans show he “does not know history,” and called on Latinos in California, Texas and other states to push for change in the November elections.
“I just want to say that this is our moment,” the 96-year-old told CBS News.
She recalled the beginning of Mr. Trump’s first presidential campaign: “You know, the first thing when the president came down that escalator, he attacked Mexicans. … He does not know history. He does not know that Texas was once part of Mexico.”
Mr. Trump said in his 2015 campaign launch speech that Mexico was “not sending their best” to the United States, alleging: “They’re bringing drugs, they’re bringing crime, they’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”
Huerta has been active in politics and civil rights activism since the 1960s, when she and Cesar Chavez co-founded the group that later became the United Farm Workers. She is known for popularizing the Spanish-language slogan “si, se puede,” which has been widely adopted by political and labor movements over the decades, including in 2008, when Barack Obama’s campaign used its English translation: “Yes, we can.” Earlier this year, Huerta drew attention for becoming the latest person to accuse Chavez of sexual misconduct.
Huerta, who spoke at the Texas Democratic Convention over the weekend, was enthusiastic about Democrats’ uphill battle to win their first statewide races in the Lone Star State in decades. State Reps. James Talarico and Gina Hinojosa are the party’s nominees for senator and governor, respectively, taking on Republican candidates Ken Paxton and Gov. Greg Abbott.
A New York Times / Siena College poll released Tuesday had Talarico and Paxton tied at 47% each, while Abbott, a three-term incumbent, was leading by single digits over Hinojosa. Talarico had the support of 61% of Texas Hispanics, a crucial voting group that went to Mr. Trump by a 55% margin in the 2024 presidential race in the state.
Republicans have sought to cast Talarico as too far to the left for Texas, highlighting his past statements on gender and other issues. Huerta told CBS News that she thought the “attacks” that Republicans have lobbed against Talarico are “ridiculous.”
Pointing to the power of Latino electorate, Huerta noted that both Hinojosa and the Democratic nominee for governor of California, Xavier Becerra, are Hispanic. Becerra is favored to win in heavily Democratic California.
“So, if it can happen in California, it can happen in Texas,” she added.
California’s electorate is far bluer than that of Texas. But Hinojosa noted in an interview with CBS News that 2018 Texas Democratic Senate candidate Beto O’Rourke received 64% of the Latino vote, according to exit polling, helping him come within 2.6 points of unseating GOP Sen. Ted Cruz. “When I get 64% of the Latino vote in 2026 I win,” Hinojosa argued.
“People want change,” Hinojosa said. “What is happening in Texas is there is this anti-incumbency energy.”
“The billionaires who own the social media algorithms, who own the cable news networks, who own the politicians fighting on our screens, they are turning neighbor against neighbor, weakening that spirit of friendship that makes Texas so great, they divide us by party, by race, by gender, by religion, so we don’t notice that they’re picking our pockets,” Talarico said at the convention. “It is the oldest strategy in the world: divide and conquer, but Texas will not be conquered at a time when these billionaires are dividing us into different tribes.”
