Statement “This weekend we became a country that uses tear gas on moms and babies seeking refuge at our borders. The cruel treatment of families trying to apply for asylum is horrifying and shameful, and it must end.
“We do not need to militarize our border. We do not fear moms and children. The Trump administration’s response was disproportionate and utterly without justification.

Statement “President Trump’s post-election announcement – that his administration will effectively deny the moms, children and families who come here from Central America the chance to apply for asylum – is cruel, heartless and a violation of U.S. law and treaty obligations. It puts refugees with well-founded fears of persecution at risk of a return to persecution. The President does not have the authority to criminalize families that simply want the chance to live in peace.

Statement “President Trump doubled down on his immoral anti-immigrant actions late yesterday with a promise to illegally block asylum-seekers, violate their human rights by jailing families for extended periods of time, and increase the military presence at the border to 15,000 troops. It is appalling that the President seems to be making policy and allocating resources based on the dishonest scare tactics he uses for political gain.

Statement “As countless legal scholars with a range of political views are pointing out, President Trump does not have the power to overturn birthright citizenship, which is enshrined in our Constitution. Doing so would require a constitutional amendment, which in turn requires an extraordinary consensus that does not exist because, thankfully, few people in this country share his extreme, baseless anti-immigrant views.

Statement “FedEx made a wise and responsible move by ending its practice of giving discounts to National Rifle Association (NRA) members last week. That partnership was tantamount to an endorsement of the NRA’s appalling agenda and gave NRA leaders a marketing tool to entice people to join and support its work.
