Today’s Action: Keep the path to citizenship open
The Trump Administration announced this week that they will now penalize legal immigrants who have accepted any social service (food stamps, Affordable Care Act, Children’s Health Insurance Program, the earned income tax credit, and more), allowing this to be grounds for denial of green cards and visas.
This is a clear smear campaign against immigrants who contribute billions in tax dollars, stimulate the economy, and have every right to access these services that they help pay into. Immigration advocates are already seeing legal immigrants withdrawing from these programs, losing vital support networks because they fear deportation and family separation. Nearly 20 million immigrant children could be affected, and almost 9 in 10 of those children are American citizens…moving us one step closer to a kind of citizen caste system where MAGA hats are on top.
This plan will not require Congressional approval…but we used public pressure effectively enough to stop family separation, and we can do it again with this. Call or email your members of Congress and tell them to make a strong public statement against Trump’s plan to deter the path to citizenship and visa for millions of immigrant adults, thereby also denying vital support networks for 20 million American children.
Let’s make one thing clear. Nearly every step Trump has taken since entering office has been to keep his white Americans in supreme authority in our country. We are not in a battle against him on individual issues of immigration and border policy — we are fighting to preserve our highest of all values, that we are all created equal. Even without Trump, we as a society are still striving to truly achieve this goal and with Trump and his Republican Party, we must double down to stop us sliding too far in the wrong direction.
