Tell State GOP Legislators to Stop Bullying Immigrant Babies
The Issue
Republican lawmakers from 5 states are joining up with anti-immigrant hate group FAIR in a state by state effort to repeal birthright citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants.
They are hoping to re-write the Constitution, specifically the 14th Amendment to say that anyone born here is not a citizen unless both their parents are citizens.
Just because these Republican legislators lack the ability or are so full of hatred that they can't sit down and come up with a solution to a broken immigration system does not give them the right to use it as a wedge issue to toy with the Fourteenth Amendment guarantee of equal protection.
Tell the GOP that bullying immigrant children as a way to divert attention from real immigration reforms is deplorable. And to come up with some real solutions to our broken immigration system.
