Latino Democrats Tout Migrants as Their Constituents | |
2023-12-16 | |
![]() "We are here to protect immigration as it is," Rep. Nanette Barragan (D-CA), told an audience of legislators, activists, and media at a December 13 rally beside the Capitol.
Barragan said: Let me put it a little differently. We’re here to call on President Biden and Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to reject the immigration and border bills at the hands of Republicans in the ongoing negotiations around the supplemental [emergency funding bill] The event included multiple Democratic legislators who championed illegal migrants and future migrants — and rhetorically divorced their American constituents. Almost none of the legislators mentioned the cost of migration to their many constituents — Latino and other — who lose wages, jobs, homes, status, and investments because desperate migrants must work for less. | |
