The year 2019 brought children in cages, families separated, and thousands locked in detention centers. The gates were shut, supposedly because there’s “no room at the inn.” Now, a year later, the Trump administration advocates for its immigrant and migrant zero-tolerance policy to be used against homeless people here too, proposing to round them up and force them out of the cities. It won’t stop there either, unless we stop it now.
Various Democratic presidential candidates have called for reforming the immoral and barbaric U.S. immigration system. Let’s hold their feet to the fire now. One step is to demand that all candidates fight any attempt to declare a zero-tolerance policy against any part of the population, whether homeless or undocumented.
Read the People’s Tribune and Tribuno del Pueblo for stories on what candidates and everyday people are doing to defend the people.
