In light of this, H\u00e9ctor S\u00e1nchez Barba of the organization Mi Familia Vota has expressed that it is an attack on the foundations of the nation and its values.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mifamiliavota.org\/es\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">My Family Votes<\/a>, 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.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The president of the organization, H\u00e9ctor S\u00e1nchez Barba, has issued a statement expressing his concern about the changes in immigration policy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cOur 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\u2019s uniqueness lies in its ability to embrace anyone who seeks an opportunity to work and become a vital part of our society.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He also claims that Trump&#039;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.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hector Sanchez said the executive orders he recently signed will hurt families, the economy, and cause people to live in fear, \u201cWe have seen this before, children torn from their parents\u2019 arms and locked in cages. Let\u2019s be clear: these executive orders will extend to millions of people regardless of their immigration status.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trump&#039;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.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe 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,\u201d S\u00e1nchez concluded.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>You may be interested in:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/peninsula360press.com\/en\/trumps-war-on-immigrants\/\">Trump&#039;s war on immigrants a threat to public health<\/a><\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>La llegada de Donald Trump como presidente de Estados Unidos ha preocupado, por la serie de \u00f3rdenes ejecutivas que restringe severamente la inmigraci\u00f3n legal y militarizan la frontera, ante esto, H\u00e9ctor S\u00e1nchez Barba de la organizaci\u00f3n Mi Familia Vota, ha expresado que es un ataque a los cimientos de la naci\u00f3n y a los valores.
