President Donald Trump's 2020 budget proposal 'threatens the safety of immigrant families being terrorized in communities every day, without appropriate checks and balance,' the Center for Law and Social Policy said.
Immigration advocacy groups have slammed President Donald Trump's 2020 Budget as an anti-immigrant bid to further the U.S. leader's"hateful" agenda and ongoing immigration crackdown.
In a statement condemning the budget, the Defund Hate Coalition, which includes immigration advocacy groups United We Dream, the Detention Watch Network, the American Civil Liberties Union, Asian Americans Advancing Justice and Heartland Alliance, said Trump's budget"doubles down on his hateful, anti-immigrant agenda."
Calling on Congress to reject the budget proposal, the Defund Hate Coalition said that"for far too long, our representatives have said they care about immigrant communities while simultaneously funding aggressive immigration enforcement, border barrier construction, and deadly immigration jails. In its own statement the Center for Law and Social Policy , a nonpartisan anti-poverty nonprofit, accused the Trump administration of"terrorizing immigrants" with its budget proposal.
"Even as the Senate is set to vote to reject Trump’s declaration of a national emergency at the southern border, the president is proposing an additional $8.6 billion in funding for building a border wall. The recent partial government shutdown showed that Democrats and Republicans in Congress reject using taxpayer dollars in this way," CLASP said.
