Donald
Trump's extreme immigration proposals continue inspire his supporters
to act violently against minorities, while other Republican presidential
candidates like Marco
Rubio and Ted Cruz renew their pledges to end and repeal DACA and DAPA
on day one of their administration.
With
each passing day, Republicans continue to talk about their plans to
deport millions of hardworking immigrants families. It is this type of
anti-immigrant rhetoric
that continues to divide our communities, and threaten to separate and
deport families like mine.
I
recorded the following video to help illustrate what's at risk for
immigrants like myself, and to let you know what we can do to protect
our friends and family against
the anti-immigrant attacks from Republicans.
Juan
Escalante of America's Voice Talks About What Donald Trump Means for
the Immigrant CommunityAs you know, there are currently 11 million
people living in the United
States without papers who, like myself, deserve a life of dignity and
respect. That's why we fought and ultimately won pro-immigrant programs
like DACA and DAPA.
However,
Republicans like Donald Trump, Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz are continuing
to unleash an unprecedented attack on immigrants across the United
States -- and now he
is the leading Republican candidate for President.
In
the coming weeks, America's Voice will launch a campaign to help
protect DACA and DAPA. Currently, DACA provides me with a driver's
license, a work permit, and the
ability to live without the constant fear of deportation. The same
could be true millions of undocumented parents who would qualify for DAPA; however, a Republican led lawsuit continues to stand in the way of
their relief.
I
am confident that if we work together over the next several months, we
can ensure that the next President will stand with immigrants like me,
my family, and the 11 million
people living in the United States without papers.
The
stakes could not be higher for the immigrant community. My ability to
remain in the United States hinges on the the 2016 general election,
which is why I hope you
will join America's Voice in the coming weeks.
