Dear John,
Amidst the nearly overwhelming blizzard of bizarre behavior from Trump and
his team, I want to call your attention to what he is trying to do to
immigrants and communities along the border.
Today Trump’s Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is in El Paso, the defining
city of the Texas-Mexico border, to intensify the propaganda push that
aims to sell America mass deportations, militarization of border
communities, removal of protected status for migrants who are legally
present in the U.S. and the end-run cancellation of the Constitution’s
14th Amendment granting U.S. citizenship to everyone born in this country.
This, despite the fact that migration numbers are at a four-year low; that
the only solution that will provide controlled borders and lawful,
predictable migration is a re-writing of our immigration laws; and that
these theatrics will unnecessarily hurt American families, our economy and
the rule of law.
Not to be outdone, and always with his political finger in the wind, Texas
Governor Greg Abbott expanded Texas National Guard deployments to the
border, adding more taxpayer dollars to the $11 billion he has already
spent.
Instead of meekly accepting this unconstitutional farce, I suggest we
fight back.
Fight back by making sure that the people who are being harmed have the
help and the resources to protect themselves, to stand up for the rule of
law, and to stop these abuses by the Trump and Abbott administrations.
Fight back by making sure that candidates who challenge the MAGA
stranglehold on political power in Texas can win because they have the
voters, the message and the turnout machine at their back.
