A Race-Class Narrative About Immigration

Regardless of where we come from, what our color is, or how

we worship, every family wants the best for their children. But

today, certain politicians and their greedy lobbyists are putting

all of our families at risk. They rig the rules to enrich themselves

and avoid paying their fair share of taxes, while they

defund our schools and threaten seniors with cuts to Medicare

and Social Security. Then they turn around and point the finger

for our hard times at new immigrants—even tearing families

apart and losing children. When we reject their scapegoating

and come together across racial differences, we can make this a

nation we’re proud to leave all of our kids—whether we’re white,

Black, or brown, from down the street or across the globe.
