In light of this, Hérault Schez 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.

“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.”
