Today’s Action: Don’t let Trump bully Congress into giving up on Dreamers
The Senate failed again yesterday to find any solution for Dreamers, ripping through four immigration bills that ranged from atrocious to compromise to awesome but passing none.
The solution, of course, is already there: the DREAM Act itself is ready to secure the safety of 800,000 young lives, and Democrats and a few Republicans are ready to pass it on its own.
The ‘issue’ is that Trump sees America’s Dreamers as nothing more than a bargaining chip for what he now calls his ‘four pillars’ – four drastic, bigotry-fueled changes to American immigration philosophy and border protections – and his veto threat shut down any bipartisan efforts toward passing a clean bill.
Vetoes can be overturned, and Trump’s mind can change with a strong breeze or a fleeting Fox News sound bite. Contact your Members of Congress and tell them not to give up in the face of Trump’s bullying – we need a clean DREAM Act now.
Republicans want this issue to go away – they’ve faced six months of public outcry over a crisis that their president unilaterally created. Trump wants his wall and an end to our celebrated lottery immigration system (see: “shithole countries”) – and he’s throwing a veto-fit now that two courts have stalled his decision to end DACA protections.
But Dreamers need us to stand firm and fight harder.
Tell Republicans: Don’t let Trump’s absurd demands stop them from passing a DREAM Act NOW.
Tell Democrats: Keep fighting, don’t let up – we support you.
Tell them the lives of 800,000 young people depend on it. And so do their jobs.
PS — Please don’t forget to sign the petition declaring that ENOUGH IS ENOUGH and we must Ban assault weapons NOW, and join the vast majority of Americans demanding Congress protect Dreamers NOW!
