Immigrants have a long and distinguished history of serving in the U.S. military. This Memorial Day, we also remember that some have made the ultimate sacrifice for their adoptive nation. According to one figure, 300 foreign-born soldiers died in combat between 2001 and 2013. One of these immigrant patriots, Marine Lance Corporal Jose Gutierrez, 22, was one of the first U.S. service members to be killed in action during Operation Iraqi Freedom. He was once undocumented, arriving in the U.S. alone when he was just 14.  “He had been born in Guatemala in 1974 but his parents died while he w ..read more

The Republican Presidential nominee who is currently tied in the polls is again associating himself with Nazism. That is not over-the-top hyperbole but is a statement of fact that is hard to reconcile. As the AP wire story tells us, there is an unmistakable pattern of Donald Trump associating with neo-Nazis and white nationalists and embracing the Nazi rhetoric, like fears about immigrants ‘poisoning the blood’ of the American people. Incompetence, sloppiness, and ignorance are exceedingly weak figleaf defenses from a campaign with a demonstrated pattern of giving aid and comfort to antisemit ..read more

U.S. citizenship will be no guarantee of protection for many people of color if indicted former President Donald Trump and white nationalist aide Stephen Miller return to the White House in January 2025 to carry out their mass-purging of millions of workers and families from their homes, jobs, and neighborhoods.  This is not hyperbole. Just look at the explosive watchdog report that revealed the deportation of dozens of U.S. citizens and the illegal detention of hundreds of others. In 2021, the nonpartisan Government Accountability Office released a shocking report detailing how federal ..read more

Two New England states recently welcomed new arrivals under Welcoming Corps, the Biden administration’s expanded program allowing groups of Americans to sponsor a refugee.  In Connecticut, a group of sponsors welcomed a family of six that initially fled the Syrian civil war in 2012. At that time, Zyad Al Mahameed and Souzan Al Jarad had just one child, who, because of age, “was unaware of the surrounding war,” Welcoming Corps said. “That’s when I thought that I should start a plan to get out of there, just to save our lives,” the family’s father said.  After fleeing to Jordan, the f ..read more

Republican battleground Members, particularly those representing heavily-Latino districts, must be forced to be on the record if they support the targeting of their communities for mass round-ups    The Biden campaign marked the sixth anniversary of the Trump administration’s official announcement that it would be the official policy of the U.S. to rip children, including nursing infants and toddlers, from the arms of asylum-seeking parents. The campaign’s ad, “Ripped Apart,” features gutting audio of sobbing children separated from their families in 2018. “They scream ‘Mami’ and ‘P ..read more

Written by David Leopold The restraints held back the worst excesses that soiled the previous promises of mass deportation will no longer be in place.    During Donald Trump’s first campaign, he repeatedly vowed to deport all undocumented immigrants. For example, in June of 2015, he told CNN’s Dana Bash, “We will find them, we will get them out…It’s feasible if you know how to manage. Politicians don’t know how to manage.” In 2017, when Trump became president, it was clear his mass deportation rhetoric would be tempered by the rule of law.  For mass deportation of the 11 m ..read more

Eight Florida farmworkers were killed following a catastrophic collision near Dunnellon this week. The Tampa Bay Times reports that the deceased were among 53 farmworkers who were off to start the day’s work at a family-owned peanut and watermelon farm when their bus was struck by a truck that had suddenly crossed into the center line, causing it to crash into a fence and tree before rolling over.  More than 40 other workers were injured, several of them seriously. Six of the deceased have been identified, the Associated Press reported. Their names were Evarado Ventura Hernández, 30; Cri ..read more
