Today’s Action: Vote Down Family Jails and #DefundHate
For 18 months, President Trump has tried and failed to fulfill his campaign promises of a billion-dollar border wall (which Mexico was supposed to pay for, remember that?) and the elimination of “chain migration.” So now, like a cartoon dictator, he’s literally throwing children in jail until he gets what he wants.
If you have Republican Members of Congress…
The Republican bills in Congress reflect this tyranny: Sen. Ted Cruz’s (R-TX) plan to build more detention centers, limit asylum attorney preparation time, and unshackle detention time for children; and the “compromise” bill in the House that’s so bad even Republicans can’t agree on it (but makes seeking asylum more difficult and provides billions for a border wall).
With many Republicans already unwilling to follow Trump down this path, we have a chance to stop his policies in Congress.
If you have Democratic Members of Congress…
Democrats are already doing a great job of fighting and voting down every bad Republican bill and we should acknowledge and thank them for that. But they could do even more.
Trump’s biggest tools right now are Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE). And in the past, most Democrats have voted to renew and increase funding for ICE and CBP….now, we need them to defund the hate.
