A New Wave of Hate: The Anti-Immigrant Legislative Boom Since 2020
==================================================================
Stand Against the Surge of Anti-Immigrant Legislation
=====================================================
Dear LULAC Members and Supporters,
Anti-immigrant sentiment is on the rise, and the numbers speak for themselves.
Our LULAC National Institute’s research and policy team has just released a
report titled "A New Wave of Hate: The Anti-Immigrant Legislative Boom Since
2020." [ [link removed] ] The findings are stark—since
2020, there’s been a 357% increase in anti-immigrant legislative proposals, with
233 bills introduced this year alone. These proposals target our Latino
communities, criminalizing immigrants, attacking sanctuary policies, and
undermining the rights of undocumented workers.
States like Texas and Florida are leading the way in pushing these harmful laws.
Yet, the contributions of Latinos are undeniable. Our communities contribute more
than $3.6 trillion to the U.S. economy annually, including over $96.7 billion in
federal, state, and local taxes. These bills not only hurt people—they hurt our
nation as a whole.
This report is a wake-up call. We must mobilize, fight back, and protect the
rights of immigrants and Latinos across the country.
Together, we have the power to make a real impact. Check out the full report
here: A New Wave of Hate [ [link removed] ] and read this
coverage by Camilo Montoya-Galvez [ [link removed] ] ,

Very sincerely,
Juan Proaño
LULAC CEO
