Trump has once again said the unthinkable. Doubling down on the unhinged rhetoric he usually peddles, he said that Democrats ask him not to call immigrants animals, but they are animals.
Trump has traveled to Michigan to exploit the tragic murder of an innocent woman, Ruby Garcia, by an undocumented illegal immigrant. While he seeks to weaponize this heartbreaking event to further his anti-immigrant agenda, let us not forget the glaring irony: Melania Trump, the First Lady, is herself an immigrant.
Trump’s hypocrisy is not only morally bankrupt but also deeply damaging to the fabric of our nation. It highlights his callous disregard for the contributions and struggles of immigrants who come to this country seeking a better life for themselves and their families, and make our country great with their contributions.
President Biden and his administration are tirelessly working to address our immigration crisis with compassion and pragmatism. Despite facing numerous obstacles, including relentless obstruction from House Republicans at Trump's behest, Biden continues to push for bipartisan legislation that would provide much-needed reforms to our broken immigration system.
It is crucial that we recognize immigrants as the positive force they are in American society. However, the Trump administration's policies have led to the current backlog of 3 million asylum cases, leaving countless individuals and families in limbo.
We cannot afford to stand idly by as Trump and his allies undermine the very values that define us as a nation of immigrants. We must continue to fight for a fair and just immigration system that upholds our principles of compassion, inclusion, and opportunity for all.
Join us in condemning Trump's hypocrisy and standing in solidarity with immigrants who contribute to the richness and diversity of our nation.
