Trump Misleads America Attacking Family Immigration Laws
Donald Trump Again Shows He Has No Respect For America’s Families, and Misleads America with Nativist, Fearmongering Attacks
San Francisco, CA — On his morning soapbox interview with “Fox & Friends,” President Trump attacked family-based immigration laws that have unified families in this country for nearly 50 years, lying about the harms of family immigration while ignoring how his family has benefited from the family reunification program.
Below are remarks by the Value Our Families coalition:
“Donald Trump is a product of family reunification immigration laws in this country, and instead of opening the same opportunities that have allowed his family and in-laws to stay together and prosper in this country, he’s misleading Americans by vilifying and scapegoating immigrants.
“The President using terms such as “chain migration” is his way of lying to Americans, coding it with racist scare tactics to disenfranchise immigrant families in this country. Make no mistake, every time Donald Trump attacks family immigration, he is attacking all of our families.”
