Stop the Raids - Talking Points
If it is lawful for ICE officers to separate little children from their mothers then something is dreadfully wrong with our immigration system.
What a terrible contradiction that as the Senate debates passing a comprehensive immigration reform bill that would include a pathway to citizenship the Administration is arresting, detaining, and deporting the same immigrants this legislation would help.
These aggressive and far-reaching raids have disrupted the lives of thousands of families. We are at a crossroads as a nation in deciding what kind of country we want to be and how we value family unity, community, and the rights of children.
This aggressive attempt to instill fear simply underscores the urgent need for Congressional leaders to act swiftly and boldly on passing a comprehensive immigration reform bill that is fair and just and brings immigrant workers out of the shadows of our society and onto a path to citizenship.
ICE raids separate little children from their mothers. The damage caused by these actions will cause long-term trauma to thousands of children.
The stepped up arrest and detention of immigrant mothers and father, many who have been contributing to this country and their communities for many years, has only succeeded in polluting the problem and sending a terrible message to the nation and to the world.
