My Family Votes, another organization that joins in favor of the migrant community

My Family Votes
Mi Familia Vota: A national organization of Latino Democratic voters in the United States, cares about building Latino power and voices to advance policies that promote the health, safety, and prosperity of Latino communities across the country.

The arrival of Donald Trump as president of the United States has caused concern due to the series of executive orders that severely restrict legal immigration and militarize the border. In light of this, Héctor Sánchez Barba of the organization Mi Familia Vota has expressed that it is an attack on the foundations of the nation and its values.

My Family Votes, is a national organization of Democratic Latino voters in the United States, concerned with building Latino power and voices to advance policies that promote the health, safety, and prosperity of Latino communities across the country.

The president of the organization, Héctor Sánchez Barba, has issued a statement expressing his concern about the changes in immigration policy.

“Our country is at its best when we are able to harness the power of those who come here to help build a better, more equitable society for all. Our country’s uniqueness lies in its ability to embrace anyone who seeks an opportunity to work and become a vital part of our society.” 

He also claims that Trump's anti-immigrant agenda is not only an attack on immigrants, it is an attack on the foundations of the nation and its values, because Trump wants people to believe that immigrants are bad for the country and that they contribute nothing to the United States, but this is a false narrative. 

Hector Sanchez said the executive orders he recently signed will hurt families, the economy, and cause people to live in fear, “We have seen this before, children torn from their parents’ arms and locked in cages. Let’s be clear: these executive orders will extend to millions of people regardless of their immigration status.”

On the issue of revoking birthright citizenship, the statement said that this unconstitutional act will tear families apart and change the country forever if allowed to be implemented. 

Trump's speech shows a migrant community that contributes nothing, however, in the statement from the president of Mi Familia Vota, he reported that $35 billion in taxes have been paid by undocumented households.

“We need these contributions, and we must honor the humanity of our immigrant family. That is why we will fight these attacks on our community with everything we have, organizing, mobilizing, and building the political power necessary to hold accountable those behind and supporting these acts of hate. We are on the front lines because we believe in a democracy that works for everyone, not just a privileged few,” Sánchez concluded.
