华盛顿——佛罗里达州共和党众议员玛丽亚·埃尔维拉·萨尔扎周日表示，她敦促特朗普总统“保住你为共和党带来的这份成果”，后者凭借西班牙裔选民的支持取得胜选，此前萨尔扎在一则竞选广告中警告称，特朗普政府的移民执法政策“做得太过分了”。
“先生，你正处于这个历史节点，可以保住你在2024年为共和党带来的这桶金，”萨尔扎称她曾这样告诉总统。
上周，萨尔扎发布了一则引发广泛关注的竞选广告，她在广告中警告称，2024年将特朗普送进白宫的西班牙裔选民“感到被背叛了”。身为古巴裔美国人的萨尔扎此前就曾批评政府的驱逐行动，但这则广告标志着这位共和党议员在中期选举仅剩数周之际，与白宫拉开了新的距离。
萨尔扎周日在接受《与玛格丽特·布伦南会面》节目采访时表示，她在发布广告后与总统进行了交谈，称这是一场“非常愉快的对话”，特朗普“非常乐于倾听”。
“没有哪位总统能说服西班牙裔选民将55个百分点的支持票投给共和党总统，”萨尔扎称她对总统说，“请保住你为共和党带来的这份成果。为什么？因为我们需要继续赢得选举。因为我们面临着来自民主党方面的社会主义这个巨大威胁。”
萨尔扎提到自己与迈阿密社区关系密切，指出她是政治难民的女儿，也是第一代美国公民。她表示，自己希望“保留植根于共和党、同时也是西班牙裔群体所认同的美国价值观”。
在广告中，萨尔扎直指政府全面的移民执法行动，称该政策已导致一些没有犯罪记录的人士被拘留。这位佛罗里达州共和党人称移民是一个“非常复杂的议题”，并援引公众对移民改革的支持态度，同时区分了“毒贩、保姆、黑帮成员和园丁”。她认为总统理解这种区别。
“他是做建筑和酒店业的，比任何人都懂这一点。我在对话中也跟他说了，你可以解决这场持续了40年的烂摊子，”她说，“他是唯一能做到这一点的人，因为他懂，他是个商人。”
萨尔扎认为总统的顾问们或许难辞其咎，警告他们正在“损害他的政治遗产”。
“这里没有任何攻击，”她说，“我只是作为来自南佛罗里达地区的国会议员提醒他、给他提个醒：他的一些顾问根本没有全面地呈现情况。”
根据美国人口普查局的数据，萨尔扎自2021年起进入国会，今年11月将在迈阿密地区的选区寻求连任，该选区近四分之三的人口为西班牙裔，且倾向于共和党。她表示自己是“自豪的共和党人”。
“我的出发点是好的，”她补充道，“我跟他说：‘先生，看看你所取得的成就。不要浪费掉它。’”
萨尔扎11月的对手是民主党候选人埃利奥特·罗德里格斯，他曾是哥伦比亚广播公司迈阿密分社的前新闻主播。
罗德里格斯在一份回应声明中表示，萨尔扎“拒绝承担责任”，并指出她此前一直支持总统的议程。
“她一直等到选举前几周，直到自己的政治前途岌岌可危时才站出来发声，”他说，“我支持稳固边境和积极驱逐危险罪犯。但我永远不会支持恐吓辛勤工作的家庭、将父母与子女拆散，或是像萨尔扎众议员所做的那样，将那些在我们社区生活、工作并纳税多年的人当作罪犯对待。”
Rep. Salazar tells Trump on Hispanic voters: “Preserve that fortune that you have brought” to the GOP

Washington — GOP Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar of Florida said on Sunday that she urged President Trump to “preserve that fortune that you have brought to the party” with support from Hispanic voters, after warning in a campaign ad that his immigration enforcement policy has “gone too far.”
“Sir, you have this moment in history where you can keep the pot of gold that you brought to the GOP in 2024,” Salazar said she told the president.
Last week, Salazar released a campaign ad that gained widespread attention as she warned that Hispanic voters who propelled Mr. Trump to the White House in 2024 “feel betrayed” by his administration’s immigration policies. Salazar, who is Cuban American, has been critical of the administration’s deportation efforts in the past, but the ad marked a new distance the Republican put between herself and the White House just weeks before the midterm elections.
Salazar told “Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan on Sunday that she spoke to the president after releasing the ad, describing it as a “very good conversation” in which Mr. Trump was “very receptive.”
“No other president was able to convince the Hispanics to vote 55 points for a GOP president,” Salazar said she told the president. “Please preserve that fortune that you have brought to the party. Why? Because we need to continue winning elections. Because we have this very big threat called the socialists on the Democratic side.”
Salazar cited her closeness to the Miami community, noting that she’s the daughter of political refugees and a first-generation American. She said she wants to “preserve the American values that are entrenched in the GOP and that the Hispanics share.”
In the ad, Salazar pointed to the administration’s sweeping immigration enforcement campaign, which has resulted in some cases in individuals being detained who have no criminal record. The Florida Republican called immigration a “very complex topic,” citing public support for immigration reform, while distinguishing between “the narco and the nanny and the gangster and the gardener.” She argued that the president understands that distinction.
“He is a construction and hospitality guy. He gets it more than anybody. And I told him during our conversation, you could fix this mess that has been happening for 40 years,” she said. “He’s the only person, because he gets it, he’s a businessman.”
Salazar argued that the president’s advisers may be to blame, warning that they are “compromising his legacy.”
“There are no attacks here,” she said. “I’m just forewarning him and advising him as a member of Congress from the South Florida area that some of his advisers are just not presenting the whole picture.”
Salazar has been in Congress since 2021 and is seeking reelection in November in a Miami-area district where nearly three-quarters of the population is Hispanic, according to Census Bureau data, and which leans Republican. She said she’s a “proud Republican.”
“I’m coming from a good place,” she added. “I’m telling him, ‘Sir, look what you did. Don’t squander it.’”
Salazar is facing Democratic candidate Eliott Rodriguez, a former news anchor for CBS News Miami, in November.
Rodriguez said in a statement in response that Salazar “refuses to take responsibility,” noting that she’s supported the president’s agenda.
“She waited until weeks before an election, and until her own political future was in danger, to speak out,” he said. “I support secure borders and the aggressive removal of dangerous criminals. But I will never support terrorizing hardworking families, separating children from their parents or treating people who have lived, worked and paid taxes in our community for years like criminals, as Congresswoman Salazar has.”
