Immigration Reform and the Lies “Pro†Migrant Nonprofits Use to Gain Support [via Facebook]
“[T]he ongoing showcase presented by the world of advocates and nonprofits promotes a comprehensive immigration bill and applauds bipartisan compromises that have a harmful impact on migrants and our human rights movement. These advocates ignore the devastation this bill threatens and instead, they frame it as “common sense reform.†Why are trusted advocates reinforcing the President’s narrative that he is helpless in making humanitarian interventions in a system that sits squarely under the executive branch? . . . The strategies coming from our organic leadership are about defending and gaining human rights, often locally, and promoting truth and political education that address real root issues. . . . Our strategies are not about passing an anti-immigrant bill so we have something to call a victory – and it is frustrating to see others do so in our name. . . . It’s disheartening. CIR is built on dishonest messaging, and a strong pledge to the Democratic Party — not our community.” ~Luis Serrano
