plan of action - July 21, 2017

Dreamers

Trump has recently stated his determination to override DACA recipients’ protected status and toss them out of the country. Some hard-core Republican attorneys general from 10 states, under the leadership of Texas, are threatening to sue the president to precipitate the deportation of these young people.

To the rescue comes Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) who are championing a bi-partisan measure to extend and formalize protection for Dreamers.

Action:

1. Contact Lindsey Graham and Dick Durbin and thank them for their efforts to protect Dreamers.

2. Contact the Attorney General of one or two (or more!) of the following states to express your shock and disappointment that they would attempt to pull the rug out from under law-abiding Dreamers. Ask them to back off from their threat of a law suit.

Texas (the ringleader)        Louisiana
Alabama                                   Nebraska
Arkansas                                  South Carolina
Idaho                                          Tennessee
Kansas                                       West Virginia
