GOP BRINGS ITS IMMIGRATION FIGHT TO EAGLE PASS
RAICES, a San Antonio-based immigrant rights organization, called the GOP's Eagle Pass border visit "nothing more than incendiary political theater to dehumanize and stoke anti-immigrant fear" against those fleeing persecution, economic and political instability, violence, and the effects of climate change across Central and South America.
"It is abundantly clear that there’s nothing off the table when it comes to negotiating away the rights of anyone pursuing safety and a future in the U.S." said RAICES spokesperson Faisal Al-Juburi. "Our lawmakers are more than willing to erode the federal policies that govern our country and endanger the lives of families and people brave enough to fight for their dignity and security."
