Trump has an unbelievable immigration plan.
John,
With a critical election ahead of us, Republicans are launching nationwide campaigns to spread hateful lies about immigrants and our communities. In fact, more than 46 million people living in the United States were born elsewhere.
Yet despite their proven contributions to their communities, Republicans continue to twist the truth and launch hate campaigns targeting them. Here are three of some of the most common lies Republicans say about immigrants:
- Claim: It’s illegal to ask for asylum.
Reality: It’s legal for people to come to the United States and ask for asylum. It’s a long and complicated process, and not everyone is approved, so it’s not a free ticket into the United States.
- Claim: All undocumented people are dangerous.
Reality: No one is dangerous just because they’re undocumented. In fact, a study found that U.S.-born citizens are more likely to be arrested for violent, drug-related, and property crimes.
- Claim: Undocumented people take advantage of benefits.
Reality: Undocumented people pay an estimated $31 billion dollars in taxes each year and receive almost no benefits for their contributions.
John, the Republican anti-immigration campaign is based on lies and xenophobia, and we need to fight back.
Can you split a contribution of $5 between Immigrant Legal Resource Center, National Immigrant Justice Center, and Advocates for Immigrant Rights to support undocumented people across the nation?
PITCH IN
Republicans have a plan for undocumented people, and it’s extreme. According to Donald Trump, if re-elected, he will carry out the largest domestic mass deportation plan in American history.
He wants to use the National Guard to knock down doors and take undocumented people into detention camps. This is a real plan that’s written down in Project 2025 — and he wants to see it through. This year, Trump killed a bipartisan deal over the southern border so he can enact his agenda in the future.
John, Donald Trump and other Republicans want to see undocumented people put in detention camps. This is disgusting, and we need to make sure it never happens.
Split a contribution of $5 right now between Immigrant Legal Resource Center, National Immigrant Justice Center, and Advocates for Immigrant Rights to fight back against the GOP’s ominous plan for our future.
PITCH IN
In solidarity,
