Ramirez released a statement on her ‘present’ vote:

“I voted PRESENT on account of I’m completed with political video video games. The majority is dropping time bringing a bill that’s already current laws. There are ALREADY no immigration benefits for Hamas terrorists. After collaborating for 15 hours of a sham impeachment, I couldn’t stomach one different bill solely launched to achieve low value political components, politicize immigration, and divide our communities. Identical to the Republican’s sham impeachment, this bill doesn’t meaningfully deal with border security nor extra protect our communities. H.R.6679 is pointless. It’s a waste of property and time. And I’m not having fun with alongside.”

Tlaib posted a longer statement defending her ‘no’ votes on 4 funds searching for to tighten immigration authorized tips:

Tlaib Opposes Hateful GOP Anti-Immigrant Funds

At current, Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib (MI-12) launched the subsequent assertion referring to her opposition to 4 hateful anti-immigrant funds:

“As quickly as as soon as extra, my colleagues have chosen to waste our time inciting racism that locations our immigrant neighbors in peril and makes our communities a lot much less safe. These 4 funds have one frequent theme: dehumanizing our immigrant neighbors. These are racist, fear-mongering funds that do nothing to restore our outdated and inhumane immigration system.

H.R. 6678 would violate elementary due course of protections by together with new grounds of exclusion and deportation primarily based totally on mere allegations, not convictions, of Social Security fraud. No person must be separated from their communities and their family due to an unproven allegation.

H.R. 6976 would suggest that our immigrant neighbors who obtained right here proper right here lawfully and who’ve resided in our communities for a few years may presumably be deported and ripped from their households due to one misdemeanor DUI conviction, making a separate and unequal system of justice.

H.R. 5585 would create a model new federal felony offense for evading Border Patrol, although this offense already exists in virtually related sort in federal laws. Since that’s already illegal, it’s clear that the aim of this bill is simply to demonize migrants and asylum seekers.

H.R. 6679 is pointless on account of it’s redundant with already current federal laws. It’s merely one different GOP messaging bill getting used to incite anti-Arab, anti-Palestinian, and anti-Muslim hatred that makes communities like ours unsafe.

I made a promise to my residents as soon as they despatched me to Congress that I’d take important actions to complete hateful Trump-era immigration insurance coverage insurance policies, reunite households, welcome migrants and asylum seekers, and reform our immigration system. I reaffirm that dedication instantly, and may on a regular basis converse truth to vitality throughout the face of disgusting makes an try by my colleagues to dehumanize our immigrant neighbors.”
