Supporter,
Last year, the Trump administration announced that it would end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program -- which President Obama had established to provide temporary deportation relief for some undocumented immigrants who have been in the country since they were children -- saying that the move created a “window of opportunity” for Congress to codify protections for Dreamers and “resolve the DACA issue with heart and compassion.”
Since then, thousands of DREAMers have lost their DACA protections, and others aren’t even trying to renew their DACA status out of fear of giving their information to an administration that is aggressively deporting even people with clean records.
PFAW's Right Wing Watch released a video today, at the same time that Congress is debating legislation on immigration, highlighting White Supremacists on the anti-immigrant Right as the real obstacle to enacting a solution for the 800,000 DREAMers whose lives have been turned upside down by the elimination of DACA.
Please check out the video and help spread the word!
87% of Americans support protecting DREAMers. And the people who are most vocal in fighting against protections for DREAMers are among the the worst racists and nativists the extreme Right Wing has to offer. Now it's time for members of Congress -- particularly Republicans -- to choose which side their on.
Thank you!
