Tell Congress to say NO to a budget that funds human rights abuses and mass deportations!
I am alarmed by the administration’s treatment of immigrants and the lack of due process. In the last few months, the administration has sent immigrants to foreign prisons without notice or a hearing, targeted students and scholars who are legally in the U.S. for deportation because of political speech, and carried out raids in schools and homeless shelters. This is an assault not only on immigrants, but also on our democratic principles.
Moreover, immigrants are critical to our communities, our economy, our families, our small businesses, and the care workforce. Nearly 40 percent of home care workers are immigrants. Cuts to Medicaid to fund mass deportations would deal our healthcare infrastructure a double blow, making it even harder for families to find the care they need. A budget that prioritizes mass deportations and human rights abuses instead of Medicaid is a waste of taxpayer dollars and hurts our aging parents, hardworking caregivers, and communities.
Our tax dollars must be used for programs like Medicaid that give families the opportunities and tools to succeed, NOT to fund mass deportations, human rights abuses, and an assault on our rule of law.
Thank you for standing with our families and our communities.
Why is this important?
The U.S. Congress is considering a budget that would supercharge the Trump administration’s ability to scale up its assault on immigrants and further damage our rule of law, hurt our economy, and pay for it by massive cuts to Medicaid, Social Security, SNAP, and HeadStart, and other programs for our children and families.
Join us in calling on Congress to say NO to a Republican-led budget that fuels human rights abuses and mass detention, paid for by cuts to Medicaid and other programs that lift families and the economy!
