Fringe sheriffs who believe they’re totally unaccountable to any state or federal authority hosted a right-wing conference in Las Vegas last week, where they made explicit calls for vigilante gangs “to patrol polling stations and stop the ‘expected flood’ of ‘illegal’ immigrant voters,” WIRED reports. Of course, this is a non-existent issue: non-citizen voting is already illegal and is a “vanishingly rare” occurrence. This bogus claim of non-citizen voter fraud is instead being used by the right-wing to sow doubt and distrust in our electoral process should the election not go its way in ..read more

While the U.S. has made some advancements in addressing climate change, including lowering greenhouse gas emissions, this upcoming Earth Day is an important reminder that our communities haven’t been immune from the devastating consequences of this global crisis.  “A historic heatwave in the Pacific Northwest resulted in dangerous temperatures, which was made 150 times more likely because of climate change,” Diana Martinez Quintana and Dan Mathis wrote in 2022. “It killed nearly 200 people in Oregon and Washington.

First published May 23, 2019; last updated April 19, 2024. In a word: yes.  People who demonize immigrants often claim that they are “takers” who “don’t even pay taxes.” Nothing could be further from the truth. Immigrants, regardless of immigration status, are on the hook for a variety of taxes, including local, state, and federal income taxes. It’s the law — everyone who resides in the US and earns an income must pay taxes on that income.  Immigrants who do not have a Social Security number use an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) to legally file tax returns and repo ..read more

Virginia Republican candidate Cameron Hamilton this week boosted an obviously falsified flier that combined some of the far-right’s worst anti-immigrant and antisemitic conspiracy theories to attack the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS), a respected Jewish immigrant relief agency founded nearly 150 years ago.  The bogus flier – initially shared by the right-wing Heritage Foundation, the group behind Trump’s “Project 2025” – sought to implicate HIAS in a fictional plot purporting to get new migrants to vote for President Biden. It was so transparently fictional that it was even dismisse ..read more

Earth Day 2024 is an important reminder that the global climate crisis and migration are intrinsically intertwined. While people migrate for a variety of reasons, such as family reunification or to seek asylum from life-threatening factors like state persecution and gang violence, climate change and related environmental crises have also resulted in the forced displacement of many people.  Across the globe, millions of people have been “forced to move due to the impact of climate change,” Diana Martinez Quintana, an immigration and climate justice advocate, wrote in 2022. “An average of ..read more
