Anti-immigrant actions based on prejudice, misinformation

“Every time there are economic problems and there are cutbacks on social services, the immigrant is made a scapegoat. Now, after 9/11, the fear of “terrorism” has been used by various groups (such as Save Our State and right-wing politicians) to criminalize the undocumented and anyone who supports them.

In recent months, we have seen anti-immigrant forces push hateful and punitive policies, such as the Sensenbrenner HR 4437 bill, to the forefront. The Senate and the House have not moved forward in advancing any type of comprehensive immigration policy.”
