For the Anglo
community, this is an advance of the Nativist Wing of the Republican Party.
For Latinos and
immigrants, this is fascism.
Our Coalition Partner
United We Dream called the proposal . “ a white supremacist ransom note.”
Congress refused to pass the DREAM act on Monday, leaving
800,000 immigrants vulnerable to deportation in the near future. For 16 years,
those hundreds of thousands of DREAMERs have waited for congress to pass the
DREAM act. In that time, the DREAMERs gained a fragile legal status thanks to
DACA in 2012. Now they lack even that, with only a temporary injunction against
Trump’s cancellation of DACA protecting them from losing their right to live
and work in the U.S.
We condemn the
Republican Party and President Trump for their assault on immigrants, their
militarization of the border, their assault on sanctuary cities, their efforts
to end family unification and for their termination of DACA and TPS.
We must unite with
others to oppose the Administration proposals.
The Democratic Socialists of America will stand
with immigrant communities to fight for a just immigration reform bill.
Congress must not pass the Trump administration’s version of immigration
reform, which would destroy the lives of millions. Any bill that passes needs
to protect the rights of immigrants by granting them citizenship. Anything else
is unacceptable. The upcoming weeks will be critical. The next deadline is
February 8th. Now is the time to organize.
