Dear John,
The Senate passed its version of the reconciliation bill on Tuesday, July 1st. Now, it heads back to the House of Representatives, which has a goal of passing it before July 4th.
We have to speak out now before it's too late. Stand with the American Immigration Council and tell your representative to oppose the bill. [[link removed]]

This dangerous bill slashes funding for vital American programs to fuel harmful separation of immigrant families. What's in store if it passes?
* Making legal immigration a pay-to play system with astronomically high and largely mandatory fees. The bill will make it impossible for many low- to moderate-income people to apply for immigration benefits by imposing tremendously high fees on immigration applications, including humanitarian programs like asylum.


* Lining the pockets of private prison corporations by expanding the immigration detention system . The bill includes a 265% annual budget increase to ICE’s current detention budget. This would represent a nearly 62% larger budget than the entire federal prison system and could result in daily detention of at least 116,000 non-citizens.


* Supercharging arrests in our communities and in small businesses. ICE would receive $30 billion—3 times its current annual budget—to hire new ICE agents, provide retention and performance bonuses, and enlist local law enforcement agencies to enforce civil immigration law across the country.

* Expanding deportations, including to third countries and notorious foreign prisons. The billions of dollars in new funding will allow ICE to continue to ignore court orders and circumvent people’s due process rights as it aims to deport hundreds of thousands of immigrants.
Tell your representative to vote NO on the reconciliation spending bill [[link removed]] . Investing in punitive immigration enforcement while defunding programs that support working families is a false choice and harmful policy.
Sincerely,
Adriel Orozco
