Immigration
Protecting family unity and ensuring our public policies address the concerns of immigrant families.
As part of MomsRising’s mission to advocate for economic security for all families living in the United States, we have reached out to our million members and developed education campaigns to build public will for fair treatment of immigrant children, mothers and families. Our intent is to further a constructive national dialog on reforming our country’s immigration policies so that they reflect our values as a nation and allow for all families to contribute to our culture and economy.

Moms know how important our immigrant community members are in keeping our families and kids healthy.
This bill would deter immigrants from reporting sexual assault or domestic violence to the police and put members of our community at risk of deportation! It would erode community trust in law enforcement, making our communities less safe and increase racial profiling and family separation. Something as simple as a traffic violation, requiring no jail time, can put people on track for deportation, blurring the lines between the criminal system and the immigration system.

North Carolina House Bill 10 would force local sheriffs to collaborate with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). This would deter immigrants from reporting sexual assault or domestic violence to the police and put members of our community at risk of deportation! Something as simple as a traffic violation, requiring no jail time, can put people on track for deportation, blurring the lines between the criminal system and the immigration system.
