Supporter --
Last night during the Republican presidential debate at the Reagan Library, we
were shocked. And this time, it wasn't by something one of the candidates said.
During a commercial break, we saw a new ad by an organization called
"Californians for Population Stabilization." Now, we're used to ads criticizing
undocumented immigration and chest-pounding about a border fence, but this
political ad was different. This one called for an end to legal immigration.
This political ad attacked all immigrants. We need your help now to respond to
these sorts of attacks. Will you donate $25 or more right now to fight back?
This political ad argued that all immigrants hurt our economy and take jobs away
from hard-working Americans. As study after study has shown, this is just flatly
untrue.
And what's more, this ad was run during a debate at the Reagan Library, named
for President Reagan, a man who, in 1986, signed a pathway to citizenship into
law for undocumented immigrants.
Ronald Reagan once recalled a letter he received from a constituent: "He wrote
that you can go to live in France, but you can’t become a Frenchman. You can go
to live in Germany or Italy, but you can’t become a German, an Italian. He went
through Turkey, Greece, Japan and other countries. But he said anyone, from any
corner of the world, can come to live in the United States and become an
American."
That's as true today as it was then.
Last night's political ad was a sad, desperate attempt to divide Americans from
one another. Our country deserves so much better than that. We're all Americans,
we all deserve respect, and we need to stand up for one another when groups of
citizens are being ostracized.
Will you stand up for legal immigrants? Donate $25 or more now, and help us
fight back.
Thank you,
Immigrants' List
