John,
As a proud immigrant, I am infuriated.
Using migrants and their families to score political points is unbecoming of any elected official. But now it's a part of the GOP playbook. Every election cycle, Republicans become more and more emboldened with their hateful agenda.
It’s bad enough that they do everything in their power to stir up resentment against immigrants simply seeking a better life, often escaping terrible conditions and risking everything to come here. Now Republicans are trying to turn migrants and refugees into political pawns just in time for the midterm elections.
GOP governors are pulling stunts that are confusing, manipulating, and now trafficking migrants as a campaign tactic. It’s cynical, power-hungry, and just plain wrong. We cannot let Republicans define the narrative on “border security” when real lives are at stake.
We can’t and won’t let them get away with treating peoples’ lives as a political game.
Building an immigration system rooted in humane, compassionate, and evidence-based policy is a cause near and dear to my heart. Before I came to Congress, I founded the largest immigrants' rights organization in Washington State.
And as Chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, I have pushed for years to prioritize immigration reform that centers human dignity and respect. Now and always, I will continue to fight for an America that treats everyone with decency and equality - the country we all deserve.
I hope you are with me.
In solidarity,
Pramila
