Washington-after a variety of immigration measures by President Donald Trump and his vow of issuing mass deportation, the Hispanic Caucus of the Congress emphasized on Thursday, as these guidelines damage three specific groups, migration background and so-called dreamers.
“These three main dampers are of crucial importance for this caucus and bring us together, regardless of whether we are progressive, moderate or a bit moderate,” said the chairman of the Caucus Adriano Espaillat, Democrat of New York. “We will talk about these three important elements while the (immigration) debate continues.”
In the November elections, the Republicans achieved uniform control in Washington, after being prepared for promise to raise border security and to support Trump in his promise to start mass deportations of people without legal status.
Now some Democrats are also moving to the right, with non -partisan support supported both in the house and in the Senate in order to send a draft law to the president’s desk, which will lead to a mass unification of immigrants, which, among other things, because of charging theft were charged or arrested. Trump is expected to sign it into the law.
The New Mexico Democrat Rep. Gabe Vasquez, which represents a border town, said: “I think it is our collective responsibility to overcome the split rhetoric and work with our colleagues to find the solutions that our Americans really interest.”
This includes legal immigration paths and resources for border security, he said.
An executive order that Trump signed this week could make migrants with asylum officers who are called CBP One App. He also ended asylum and ended humanitarian probation for hundreds of thousands of immigrants.
Another arrangement that the constitutional law on the right to get into the birth of citizenship was already temporarily blocked by a federal judge in the state of Washington.
Food prices
During the press conference, the Democrats emphasized the importance of immigrant work for the US economy and how Trump’s promises of mass deportations will raise the prices of food, since agricultural workers are afraid to work because of the fear of deportation.
“Agricultural workers, on the other hand, are critical, not only for the economy, but if they continue to be afraid and are missing because they feel like they are deported, it will appear at our dining table,” said. “The prices for fruits and vegetables and products that you choose will raise dramatically. So if you think we have a problem with inflation, this will set up steroids. “
Members of the Caucus like Rep. Linda Sánchez, Democrat from California, emphasized how “immigrants are the backbone of the economy”.
The Congress household office estimated that the high level of immigration is expected between 2024 and 2034 Increase the gross domestic product by 8.9 trillion dollars.
“Despite their contributions, our communities are attacked by President Trump because he sees them as an easy goal,” she said. “Whether we want to recognize it or not, we are dependent on your work.”
If program
When it comes to dreamers, Espaillat said that the majority of the Americans were brought to the USA in the postponed campaign for arrival on childhood as a minor.
“I think there is a general consensus in America that these young people should be largely allowed, and their status should be regulated,” he said.
The democratic MP of Texas Sylvia Garcia said that she was confident that Trump wants to keep dreamers in the United States. Trump in December He said he was open to working with Democrats to keep the DACA recipients in the United States, but no plans and legislators have remained skeptical.
“He didn’t say how and that is the question of the day,” she said.
During the first term of trump, he tried to end Daca, but was blocked by the US Supreme Court because the procedure for the end of the program was inappropriate.
Last week, a federal state court decided Daca illegally, but the court keeps the program on the spot before a likely appeal procedure at the United States Supreme Court.
