Dear John, President Trump just signed the executive order to temporarily suspend immigration to the United States. It will:
The president is attempting to divide us. Our political leaders should be focused on containing and preventing further spread of the coronavirus. We must stand united. Americans and newcomers are in this fight together as we recover and rebuild our economy. The vibrancy of our future depends on it. Sincerely, P.S. – For details on the order, see this summary the Council wrote with our colleagues at the American Immigration Lawyers Association. John, President Trump’s announcement to temporarily halt all immigration to the United States is deeply troubling. His actions are designed to distract and divide us from the fact that America now has the highest rate in the world of death and infection from the coronavirus. This should be a moment where everyone in America stands together to defeat the virus. Our leaders must focus on the robust public health response our nation needs to get our society and economy back on track. The American Immigration Council remains committed to our proud history as a nation of immigrants—and to advancing a fair and just immigration system that benefits everyone. We cannot do our work without your partnership. Stand with us today.
