Lujan Statement on Speaker Ryan's Anti-immigrant Amicus Brief Resolution
Statement
Issues: Government Operations Immigration
"Thanks to the President's executive actions, 9,000 DREAMers in New Mexico -- young people who were brought to our county as children and are contributing to our communities -- have not had to live in fear of deportation. With this vote today, House Republicans are doing their best to channel Donald Trump with a mean-spirited attack on the immigrant community and put DREAMers and their families at risk of being torn apart.
"It's disappointing but not surprising that House Republicans are continuing to demonize immigrants rather than bringing to the floor comprehensive immigration reform -- policy that is good for our economy, our national security, and recognizes the contributions immigrants make to our country every day."
