We can build an orderly, humane, & stable immigration system, AND change US policies that force people to flee their home countries. Proud to introduce our Migration Stability Resolution with Rep. Pramila Jayapal, Congressman Chuy García, Congresswoman Sydney Kamlager-Dove, Congresswoman Delia C. Ramirez, & Rep. Juan Vargas.
New! 🚨 We American Immigration Council published new estimates of the costs of mass deportations. We find: - Mass deportations would cause GDP to drop by 4.2-6.8%, more than the Great Recession. - The annual cost to arrest, detain, process, and remove 1 million people would be $88 billion.
Lance Corporal Haidar is among 148 residents we have been desperately trying to help evacuate from Lebanon. One of my constituents was already killed in an Israeli airstrike. The Department of State is leaving Americans behind and failing to protect their own citizens.
**Update: After personally calling the Department of State and demanding that they do their job, Lance Corporal Haidar was finally put on a flight—but was unable to bring his wife. Our government’s lack of urgency to get Americans out of Lebanon is shameful.
