John,
As the newly named Ranking Member of the House Immigration Subcommittee,
you can be sure I’m going to call out Republicans’ shameless hypocrisy
about immigration.
Rep. Jim Jordan, our subcommittee’s Chair, just led his Republican
colleagues on a sham search for “illegal” immigrants at the southern
border, even going so far as to conduct a bogus “investigation.” This is
pure performance from a party that clearly has no interest in actually
reforming our immigration system or serving those who come to our country
looking for a better, safer life.

GOP’s cruel agenda and fight for our communities. Will you chip in to
stand with me?

When I ran for Congress in 2016, I ran unapologetically as an immigrant
and South Asian woman. I ran on my story and my life and my community
responded overwhelmingly to send me to the House as the first South Asian
woman elected and one of only two dozen naturalized citizens in all of
Congress.
For years, I’ve pursued justice for immigrants in Washington and all over
our nation, starting as an organizer in Seattle and through my six years
in Congress until now, serving as Ranking Member on this subcommittee.
I’ve fought unjust deportations, advocated for newly naturalized and
immigrant Americans, and mobilized women against cruel family separation
policies. I’ve been to the border time after time and spoken to people
there — real people, not the imaginary “illegal” immigrants Republicans
can’t seem to find.
I know firsthand the difficulties of navigating the immigration system in
our country. I came to the U.S. when I was 16, alone, with nothing in my
pockets. After 17 years on an alphabet soup of visas, I finally became a
U.S. citizen — which is why I know it’s so important that we establish
clear, humane, legal pathways to citizenship.
It’s clear that the Republican leadership of the Judiciary Committee has
no intention to engage in good faith to reform our immigration laws for
the better. This is the work that I came to Congress to do, and I will
never stop fighting.
[ [link removed] ]I will fight to radically transform our immigration system no matter
what, but I’m stronger with you by my side,
John. Will you donate
$3 today?
In solidarity,
Pramila
