BACKGROUND:
Last month Congress passed a flawed emergency funding, gifting $4.6 billion to the Trump administration to continue their inhumane anti-immigrant campaign at the border.
How did we end up with this bill?
- the GOP led Senate voted down a House bill providing human humanitarian aid at the border
- the GOP led Senate approving a bill will no guard rails for how our neighbors are treated in Trump’s camps
- conservative Democrats of the “problems solvers caucus” insisted that the Senate bill be passed with no amendments
- the Senate bill passes the house with mostly Republican votes
Most of the Oregon delegation (Blumenauer, Bonamici, and Defazio along with Senator Wyden and Merkley) stood by our immigrant neighbors and voted against this bill. But there is more work to be done.
Budget talks and investigation are coming up in Congress. We must keep calling and make it clear to our Members of Congress that they must
- work for a budget that provides humanitarian aid for those suffering at the hands of ICE/CBP and no additional money to DHS
- call for an immediate impeachment inquiry over the illegal conditions in these camps.
