United We Dream Faults Trump for Funding ICE

Arthur,
Right now, thousands in Puerto Rico still don’t have power in their homes. Hurricane Florence is about to hit the east coast. And we just found out that Trump robbed TEN MILLION DOLLARS from tens of thousands of families waiting for recovery efforts in FEMA funds to give to ICE. Check out this New York Times headline for yourself:
$10 Million From FEMA Diverted to Pay for Immigration Detention Centers, Document Shows Image
This is absolutely disgusting, and yet another reason why we must elect leaders who will fight to defund ICE and protect immigrants. Can you contribute now to fund our Here to Stay campaign, and help us spread this message to voters?
Contribute »
This Republican obsession with detaining immigrants in cages is cruel andexpensive. Voters deserve to know that their leaders chose to spend their tax money dehumanizing and hurting immigrants, instead of providing disaster relief -- and the only way they’re sure to find out is if we reach them at the doors and on the phones through our Here To Stay campaign.
We need your help to ensure that every voter knows what their representatives are doing to hurt immigrants, and where they’re getting the funding to run detention camps. Can you chip in now to help us spread the word?
With you on our side, we’re going to be able to defeat the monsters that allowed this to happen, and elect real champions for immigrants in their place. I hope we can count on you to stand with us, and make this election count.

United We Dream Fundraises Off Democrats' Nightmare Proposal to "Abolish ICE"

This is as nutty as it gets.

Unbelievable.

"Abolish ICE" does not poll well with many voters, Democrat as well as Republican.



And yet, the Goergre Soros funded group United We Dream (rallying all the support for the nightmare kids and their illegal alien parents), wants to fundraise off this moral insanity.

Check out the latest fundraising call below:


Exciting news, Arthur: We have new Abolish ICE shirts and hats available in the UWD store!
SHOP NOW
They’re perfect to wear at rallies, marches, or anytime you want the world to know how you feel about this abusive and dangerous agency.
Since its creation in 2003, ICE has committed numerous and frequent atrocities: ripping apart families, abusing Black and brown bodies, setting up detention camps, and deporting immigrants. Yet, Congress continues to give them millions of dollars every year to continue these horrors.
We must do everything we can to fight back, and that starts with boldly showing our support for the Abolish ICE movement whenever we can -- so grab a shirt or hat today at the United We Dream store to show your support today.
All the funds raised from our store go directly to support our work abolishing ICE, building out deportation defense teams, and organizing immigrant youth communities across the country. I hope we can count on you to help us out in this critical moment in our fight.
With strength and gratitude,
Uriel and the rest of the team at UWD

Now this is just sad.

United We Dream faced their worst nightmare: they couldn't get any kind of DACA bill passed in Congress. They abused the legislative process, slammed and shamed their elected officials--actually, not their officials since many of them reside in the country illegally and therefore are not entitled to call these individuals their representatives.

They took over the US Senate cafeteria. They overwhelmed the offices of specific elected officials. They attacked good and decent people while screaming profanities at elected officials and their staffers.

And they got NOTHING.

This merchandising scam is beyond outrageous.

Does anyone really think that this is going to work?

Shame on them.

The Angel Parents and their tragedies speak much louder than the sob stories of illegal alien parents who broke into the United States, knowing full well that they were putting their lives and the lives of their children at certain risk. Once again, where is the compassion for Americans, for the neediest citizens in our many communities?

It's time to focus on public safety and the security of our nation's sovereignty at all cost. We need to find a way to cut off the funding to this treasonous "United We Dream" group any way we can.

United We Dream Nightmare Has Come True: No DACA Deal, Now They Have Sob Stories

This is what it has all come down to.

The illegal aliens in our country have learned the hard way that citizenship is all that matters. Because the illegals were not citizens, they can no longer stay in the country, and whatever political clout they claimed to possess is all gone.



It's over.

Now they want to tell sob stories about all the young illegals who crowded into US Senate and Congressional offices, who took over streets, who harassed average Americans and law-abiding citizens.

Sure, go ahead, please tell us your stories, and keep reminding us we DACA not only should not be renewed, but should have never been implemented in the first place.

Arthur,
I am an immigrant. I am a woman. I am powerful. And I am here to fight.
Today is March 5th, the deadline Trump gave Congress to pass legislation to protect immigrant youth. And right now, youth from more than 15 states are flooding the streets of Washington D.C. to demand protection.
You can join us in our day of action by sharing our stories. We’re putting our bodies on the line today and we need our allies across the country to amplify our stories to make sure Trump and Republicans see and hear us. Because we are here to stay.
I grew up undocumented. Every day, I witnessed the injustice and inequality that undocumented people face in America. And every day, something inside of me said, this isn’t right. That’s why I organized a walkout of my high school to reclaim our humanity and demand justice. Today, I am so proud to see thousands of young people like CiriacCamilaPenny and many more rising up and inspiring others. They are on the front line, fighting for the protection of our communities.
Our fight for the Dream Act is about more than protecting immigrant youth -- it is a fight to protect the soul of our democracy. We  demand that Donald Trump stop hunting down our people! We are here to assert our humanity and to call on all people of conscience to rise up and resist.
They tried to bury us.
But they did not know we were seeds,
Eli and the rest of the team at United We Dream
P.S.  Call 888-872-5316 and share your story, and why you support young immigrants today!

It's time to share a different set of stories.

Let's talk about all the young lives lost to illegal aliens. Let's talk about the working men and women who no longer have work or who no longer live in safe neighborhoods because of rampant illegal immigration. Why are working Americans across the Rust Belt forced to resort to welfare and unemployment?



Why is it that the media care more about illegal aliens and their troubles, when they should be focusing on the needs of the next generation of Americans? It's over, folks.



It's time for all of us to put the needs of Americans First and fight to make American Great Again.

To Make America Constitutional Again!

United We Dream Organizes One Last Time Before Their Nightmares Come True

I am so glad that March 5th is almost upon us, and Congress has gotten nothing done in the way of immigration "reform".



I am A-OK with Congress not passing anything until Election 2018, and we get more Republicans elected to federal office

Arthur,
Immigrant youth are organizing day and night to plan our next wave of actions before March 5th and to share our stories about how our lives would fundamentally change if Congress passes the Dream Act. This is what the moment demands.
Our stories have helped mobilize millions of Americans to fight alongside us in solidarity and to pressure members of Congress to support the Dream Act – and this tactic can work again.
Our stories are a powerful tool to win the protection and dignity that we so urgently need, and the clock is ticking. Here’s how you can help make sure our stories make as big an impact as possible:
  1. Listen to and share our stories. If you have a story to share, take one minute to record your own story. We need everyone with us in this fight, including you and your friends and networks. If everyone who gets this email shares our stories, it means thousands more people could join our cause. This only takes a moment.
  2. Make a contribution. Our team can do a lot with a little, but we’re stretched thin doing all the work of collecting, producing, and sharing these stories – on top of planning massive actions that’ll take place next week through March 5th. Every dollar helps us do more in our fight for the Dream Act.
    Contribute $27
    We have come so far in this fight. We’re beyond grateful to the thousands of people who have made calls, donated, shown up to actions, and risked arrest in order to win protection and dignity for our communities. The Dream Act never would have gotten so far without you.
    Trump killed DACA and because of that, 122 immigrant youth lose protection from deportation every single day. That’s 850 every week. And that number will skyrocket after March 5th, the arbitrary deadline that Trump created for Congress to act. This is the next phase of Trump's cruel decision to end DACA, one where even more immigrant youth will lose our protections. This is why it is so important that we fight harder than ever for Congress to pass a Dream Act right now.
    Our window to protect millions from deportation before March 5th is narrowing. But together, our power is great. When we mobilize, I believe there is nothing that we cannot do.
    This is no time to let up. Please lend your support by sharing our stories here, or by making a contribution here.
    Thank you for everything,
    Greisa and the rest of the team at United We Dream

DACA is dead, folks.

I don't think there is anything that Congress can do to resuscitate this program.

President Trump is playing the Democratic Party like a harp from hell, and they just sit their in their inadequacy, unable to pass ... anything.

What fun!



It's about time that illegal aliens of all ages woke up and went home, to their countries of origin. It's of no interest to me if their parents brought them into this country as babies, and they know of no other life than this country.

The parents are responsible for this set-up, not the American people. For decades, we had expected our government to enforce all immigration laws, to stop the flow of illegals across our borders and into our country.

The political class that wants easy votes and cheap labor holds all the blame, not the American public.



As of now, it's time for "Si se puede DEPORT!"

United We Dream Illegals Cry "Blackmail" Despite Months of Emotional Extortion

Now if this isn't hypocrisy, I don't know what is.

The United We Dream radicals are playing the "blackmail" card against the United States Senate, as though our legislators are cruel or unethical for wanting border security and enforcement.

This is how shameful and abusive the whole movement has become. The United States Government owes these illegal aliens nothing.

It is not our fault that their parents broke the law and brought their children into the country. We have American youths in great need. The job market has barely begun to improve for working Americans to have a chance once again.

We do not need more competition for American workers.

We need to put Americans first, and ensure their safety. How many DACA recipients have committed crimes, have engaged in human trafficking or smuggling to bring more illegal aliens into this country.

And instead of going after the Democrats, the political party which has been making all the broad promises to protect the young illegal alien "DREAMers", they are going after the Republican Majority, whose votes they need to win any kind of concession on amnesty.

The final point in sharing this eblast?

To show the full-fledged arrogance of the United We Dream Movement which is funded with George Soros treachery to undermine the United States and water down citizenship.

This is wrong, and this attitude should not be rewarded in any way.

Arthur--
This week, the Senate has begun a free-for-all process of legislating my life and the lives of my friends and family. We will see the horrific vision of the White House and extremist Republicans on full display.
They will present plans to end family immigration and mass deportation, a build up of detention camps and a massive increase in armed forces to raid American neighborhoods to snatch away men, women and children. Their vision is nothing short of white supremacy and a massive relocation of people of color into jails, shadows, camps and out of the country.
This week, we will see a variety of amendments to achieve white supremacist, anti-immigrant goals, and they must be defeated. Here are two ways you can help, right now:
  1. Call 478-488-8059 to tell demand Congress pass the Dream Act this week and not harm other immigrant communities in the process!
Contribute
They will say that they will protect some immigrant youth if the nation swallows their poison pills. They will expect praise for their generosity and compassion, and tell us that if we don’t agree, they will deport us. This is not compassion; it is blackmail.
We will not be used as a bargaining chip to lock another person into the camps, rip a family apart or undermine the very idea of family immigration. And we will not allow our fear, pain, and lives to be used to ban those seeking refuge, or towards those who seek to be with their families. We will not be used to tear apart the moral fabric of this country.
For months, we have organized and mobilized the country to demand a common sense solution that delivers protection without harming others, and we won’t stop until we get it.
Make a Call: 478-488-8059
Members of Congress with a conscience must make the moral choice to reject this white supremacist proposal and work towards a breakthrough that their own immigrant ancestors would approve of.
We won’t stop fighting until we win,
Eli and the rest of the team at United We Dream
Final Reflection

I urge everyone to call the above number, but ignore the pro-amnesty prompts. Whichever lawmaker's office you reach, tell them to reject amnesty of any kind, put Americans First, and enforce all immigration laws.

United We Dream ... For Americans: Call Congress--No DACA, No Amnesty, Americans First

The desperation is getting deeper.

The Democratic Party has continued to abandon the "dreamers". They are actually nightmares, but their nightmares are coming true. They will not get any kind of pathway to citizenship in Congress.

President Trump offered a generous compromise, but the liberal base and the illegal alien radicals will not accept anything less than full amnesty for every illegal alien in the country, with no enforcement, enhanced security, or advanced metrics to ensure that illegal immigration become a thing of the past.

Here is the latest eblast, in which the nightmare brats are demanding everything, throwing one temper tantrum after another, convinced that manifest harassment against every elected official will somehow guarantee them what they want.

Not going to happen, kiddies! Deal with it!

Arthur,
This is what betrayal looks like: This morning, both Democrats and moderate Republicans moved to end the GOP shutdown without securing a Dream Act. They had leverage to protect immigrant youth who are in grave danger – but instead they used our suffering as a bargaining chip to get more dollars for other programs.
The majority of Americans support a Dream Act – and we will use our power to continue this fight. Can you make a call right now to show Congress that we will not accept their betrayal?
Make a call now: 832-610-3896 
This came after over a hundred immigrant youth marched through the halls of Capitol Hill, visiting 240 House Democrats and moderate Republican offices for 14 hours to share our stories and demand permanent protection that does not harm our families and other immigrants. We’ve been putting our bodies on the line to hold Congress accountable. And we expected greater leadership and courage from our elected officials. But they failed us, again.
The backstabbing by Chuck Schumer, betrayal by 73 House Democrats, and Paul Ryan’s cruel games leaves me, my sisters, and millions of immigrant youth at greater risk of being dragged to detention camps and deported. Speeches, crocodile tears and Facebook posts will not save our lives.
We fight because the lives of ourselves and our loved ones are at stake. Since Trump killed DACA, over 19,000 immigrant youth have lost their livelihoods and protections, and 850 more become vulnerable each week. Millions of us have no protection at all, and Congress has a moral responsibility to oppose Trump’s white supremacist plans to wipe us from the face of this country.
Each day of delay means more ruthless deportations and a further erosion of our nation’s values. But we will never give up fighting because this is our home, and our eyes are set on freedom.
Please add your voice to the fight right now by calling Congress 832-610-3896. Let’s show them that we will not accept this betrayal.
Thank you for speaking out,
Greisa and the rest of the team at United We Dream
P.S. Immigrant youth are already hard at work planning our next phase of actions to fight for a Dream Act. Can you help by making a contribution to support immigrant youth?

The same repeated talking points are going nowhere fast. American citizens do not want a DREAM Act. They dream of our nation's laws being enforced. They want American citizens to know that they will be free and secure in their own countries, without fear that an illegal alien, foreign national, or other kind of invader will rob or kill American families and dreams.

The chutzpah is just too much to bear sometimes. Who do these nightmare thugs think they are?

Please call the above numbers. Ignore the programmed, recorded prompts and let the Congressional representatives know:

1. No DACA
2. No Amnesty
3. Build the Wall
4. Put Americans First
5. End the Visa Lottery
6. No more chain migration
7. etc.

Not Working: Illegal Aliens Take Over US Senate Well Demanding DREAM Act

I am so tired of these illegals. Shame on their insolence.

They have repeatedly invaded US Senators' offices. They have gone into House Reps' offices.

Now they are going right into the well of the buildings where our nation's laws are drafted, debated, and voted on.

They all need to be rounded up and deported. Shame on all of them!

Please call this number, ignore the recorded prompts, and tell the legislators:

(478) 488-8059
#NoDACA
#NoAmnesty
#AmericansFirst
#BuildTheWall

Arthur,
This is what over 700 immigrant youth and allies calling for a Dream Act looks like:
Dream Act Now
We just took over the Russell Senate building to send a powerful message: Reject Trump’s racist, anti-immigrant plan. Pass the Dream Act now.
Contribute
Right now, Congress is debating a new version of Trump’s plan. It includes a pathway to citizenship, but at a terrible cost – more deportations and militarization of our border communities. Immigrant youth will not be used as a bargaining chip against our parents and our communities.
Yesterday, United We Dream members went to the offices of 80 Republican House Members demanding the Dream Act. Today, we took over Congress – and 100 immigrant youth and allies were arrested. We are showing that together, we are beautiful, resilient, and brave. And we will never give up fighting for justice.
Our families have risked it all to come here, to build a new life, and are making this country better. The fight for the Dream Act and the fight to stop the Trump plan is a matter of life and death for immigrant families. But it is also a critical line in the sand for all people of conscience and the soul of our democracy.
Thank you for everything,
Greisa and the rest of the team at United We Dream

United We Whine: Illegal Parents Pleased for DACA Jailed Son

The sheer arrogance is unrelenting.

Who do these illegal aliens and their enabling political action committees think they are?

If you are in this country illegally, you are an illegal alien.

You have no civil rights to claim in any court of law or other legislative public forum.

This latest eblast shows the arrogant desperation of this pro-illegal movement. This time, I will not only post the eblast, but I will provide comments within the text in blue, bold text like this: "California."
Arthur,
Despite having DACA, ICE detained my son Edder on November 12, 2017.
My son and I immigrated to the United States when he was three years old. I still have the vivid memory of what my son would answer anytime he was asked where he was from.

“California!” he answered with certainty.

“No, you’re from Mexico,” I added.
Did you just read that?!
This DACA recipient, which does not absolve his unlawful status in the first place, was shushed by his mother because he would say "California."
The Parents of this illegal aliens clearly prove that they care more about their home countries than they do the United States. Illegal aliens 
“But I don’t remember that,” he’d reply.

California is his earliest memory, and this country is home for the both of us. That’s why we were so excited when he was able to apply for DACA. He could finally say with certainty that this country was home.
"California" is not his home, though, because his mother broke the law and broke into this country. It is both shameful and wrong for these illegals to exploit their children into such a hideous fashion. The mother and the son should be deported.
But after they detained my son, ICE called United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to have his DACA revoked on November 17, 2017. ICE working in collaboration with USCIS is unacceptable.
Wrong, lady. ICE and USCIS have every right and necessity to work together. Shame on these arrogant illegal aliens!
We need to bring Edder home. Sign this petition now to demand ICE release my son Edder and return him home. If enough of us raise our voices together, we can be loud enough to be heard in the halls of power.

I urge everyone reading this post to call or email ICE and thank them for doing their job without hesitation or reservation.

Being separated from my son has been the hardest thing I’ve experienced as a mother, and I can’t bear the thought of losing him. What’s even more infuriating is knowing that my son is not the only DACA recipient to go through this experience. Trump and his administration have killed the dreams of our children, and created chaos in the lives of families like mine across the country.

"California."She wants us to feel sorry for her being without her son?

What about Kate Steinle's family?


What about Angie Morfin, whose son was murdered by an illegal alien?


Once again, I am so tired of these embittered, whiny illegal aliens and their kids demanding amnesty. They should be begging for mercy, and they don't deserve to stay in this country.
SIGN THE PETITION
But I am holding onto hope. Congress needs to pass a Dream Act now to protect millions more just like my Edder. Every time we would talk about our vision for our future here, my  son would always tell me “si mama, eso lo vamos hacer” – ”yes mother, we will do it.” I believe that with your help, we will. 

With hope, 

Leticia and the rest of the team at United We Dream

Final Reflection

United We Dream is turning into a disunited nightmare.

Where is the justice for American citizens? Where is the righteous government which follows the law and ensures enforcement of the nation's laws?

This abusive pandering must be met with requisite, righteous force. Enough is enough.

Deport all illegals, including the DACA recipients. They have neither right nor reason to stay in a country against which they have grown more hostile and demanding.

Make sure to call ICE and let them know where there are illegals in your communities. Enforce our laws, put Americans First, and let's get that border secured.

#SchumerShutdown Has Turned into the #SchumerShakedown

The winning never ends!

Cryin' Chuck Schumer is now Lyin' Chuck, since he and Alzheimer's Nancy Pelosi have promised over and over that they will get a clean DREAM Act passed in the House, in the US Senate, or just about anywhere or everywhere they can.

What a joke. They don't have majority power in either chamber, and Doug Jones stunning upset is not giving Democrats any edge, since he will turn into a DINO really quickly. All the left-wing, George Soros talk to mobilize the base in Alabama is not going to work out for the left-wing progressives who are determined to turn the United States into a third-world hell-hole.

The Democrats in the US Senate had pledged to do everything they could to ensure a DREAM Act or some kind of DACA Fix. Never happened. Twice now the Democratic Party has disappointed their illegal alien base, by and large because illegal aliens cannot (or at least should not) vote.

What is it with the Democratic Party? They have lost their minds, they have lost any kind of strength and independence. They have turned into the party of illegal aliens, DACA Brats, and Nightmare Kids.

And the illegals are not going to let minority leader Chuck Schumer forget it!

Check out who they are harassing now!

The DACA group, United We Dream, funded by a George Soros nonprofit, were protesting and "taking over" senators' offices in Washington, DC, last week in order to demand a "clean Dream Act."  NOW these same angry DACA recipients and their support groups have organized a PROTEST to be staged in front of  Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer's New York district home today.

Our community is outraged by the Senate vote to pass a temporary budget deal with no solution for Dreamers. Instead of holding firm for Dreamers, Senator Schumer and most Senate Democrats backed down from their commitment to stand up for our communities. 


Join us outside Senator Schumer's house to remind him: Our lives are on the line, Chuck!

We need a clean Dream Act Now--not in three weeks. Now. 122 Dreamers will continue to lose their status every day, potentially losing their jobs and being put at risk of deportation. Congress can’t continue to push the lives of 800,000 youth and their families aside. Dreamers are tired of false promises and need a legislative solution NOW!

It is past time for Senator Schumer to use his political power in Congress as the minority leader and finally bring home a clean 
#DreamActNow for undocumented youth, without compromising the future of their families by funding a racist wall and increased border security measures that only tear families apart.

Meet at Grand Army Plaza at 5:15pm under the arch, see you there!

Schumer, you have no Cojones caving into the Republican side, If Mr. Schumer thinks he's going to get Mitch The Dick to keep promises PLEASE DON"T MAKE ME LAUGH and CRY at the same Time.

Question: If these illegal DACA were to be arrested and charged for the "take over" of congress members' offices, wouldn't that be a lawbreaking act that would result in their DACA status being revoked?  

DACA TAKING OVER CONGRESS MEMBERS' OFFICES

United We Dream, funded via a George Soros nonprofit, is promoting the "taking over" of congress members'offices to demand passage of a DREAM Act.  Below is a United We Dream press release about DACA recipients taking over the Republican Congress Members' offices of Bob Goodlatte, Martha McSally, Michael McCaul and Raul Labrador. These congress members are in support of legislation that would fund the wall, end chain migration, increase the number of border patrol agents and grant DACA legal status. THE PROTESTERS HELD POSTERS WITH PHOTOS OF EACH CONGRESS MEMBER WITH THE WORDS "DREAM KILLER" UNDERNEATH THE PHOTOS.

PLEASE CALL THE CONGRESS MEMBERS, whose offices were taken over by DACA recipients, AND TELL THEM NO DACA AMNESTY HELP AMERICANS!  Click on the link to the congress members' websites to view their home districts. If it's after business hours, leave a voice mail message.

Immigrant Youth Take Over DC Offices Of Republicans Goodlatte, McSally, McCaul, and Labrador

CHRIS VALDEZ JANUARY 12, 2018 
PRESS RELEASE

https://unitedwedream.org/2018/01/immigrant-youth-take-dc-offices-republicans-goodlatte-mcsally-mccaul-labrador/
Youth Tell Republicans: “Stop Being Dream Killers, Pass the Dream Act Now”
For Immediate Release
Contact: Sheridan Aguirre | sheridan@unitedwedream.org | 202.793.2267
Washington, D.C. – Today, immigrant youth from North Carolina, California, Texas and Washington state returned to Capitol Hill to take over the offices of Republican Reps. Bob Goodlatte (VA), Michael McCaul (TX), Raúl Labrador (ID), and Martha McSally (AZ)to brand them as Dream Killers: obstructionists of the Dream Act who are allowing immigrant youth to become targets for deportation.

Dream Killers Goodlatte, McCaul, Labrador, and McSally introduced legislation early this week which uses temporary legal status to immigrant youth to cut family-based migration and the diversity visa program. Today’s action came as immigrant youth and activist Alyssa Milano visited the offices of four Republican House Members in California while angry Trump supporters tried to shout them down and yelled “white power!” (NOTE: Citizens for enforcing immigration law counter rallied the United We Dream DACA bus tour in Orange County, CA. At no time did anyone yell, "white power." Of course there is no video of this because it did not happen. United We Dream is publishing lies!)

United We Dream members nationwide are calling out the Republican Dream Killers who are working against the Dream Act both online and at their offices.

Office takeover at Dream Killer Martha McSally’s (AZ) office on Capitol Hill

Office takeover at Dream Killer Michael McCaul’s (TX) office on Capitol Hill
Deya Aldana, United We Dream organizer and potential beneficiary of the Dream Act:

“Republicans are standing in the way of the Dream Act, so we marched back up to Capitol Hill to takeover the offices of Representatives Goodlatte, McCaul, Labrador, and McSally to demand they stop their obstructionism and pass the Dream Act by January 19.

“The clock is ticking and with each passing day, immigrant youth who immigrated to this country as minors are losing their livelihood.


“Today we made it clear that we will not jeopardize our parents or other immigrant communities in order to live our lives with safety. We won’t back down — it’s on Congress to deliver the bipartisan Dream Act with a pathway to full citizenship by January 19th.”

Jonathan Zapeta, undocumented youth member at United We Dream – Houston, said:

“When I was in Dream Killer McCaul’s office, I looked around the room and saw McCaul’s pride for Texans, but what everyone needs to know is that his enforcement heavy approach only serves to replicate the same atmosphere of fear and surveillance that our community members in the Rio Grande Valley face under the constant watch of Border Patrol and ICE.

“We won’t throw our communities under the bus and we don’t want second class citizenship. On January 19th, Congress needs to do what is right and pass the Dream Act without hurting other communities.”
