Organize to stop unjust immigration laws

Thanks to Erin Jordan for her July 3rd article, “Deported pastor decries Iowa immigration law.” Her article reveals the pain and heartache from our unjust border laws. It highlights that most of us will do what it takes to make life better. We work, save and sacrifice for our loved ones and families. Like us, new immigrant Iowans work hard for their families, too.

New immigrant Iowans work hard for Iowa. They work at home to provide safety and success for the ones they love. Many work with us in our homes to do the same. Immigrant Iowans work with us to build our homes and care for them. We work together on our farms, fields and factories, shops, stores and schools, etc to make Iowa work better. The work of new Iowa immigrants makes Iowa better!

There are real solutions that create a fair immigration process and make the border work. MAGA Republicans block them. They want chaos and conflict to distract us from how they’re damaging our state and taking away from what our families need. The recent court action stopping the start of the unjust immigration law shows me that we can defeat big money and organized people power works to make our world a better place. That’s why we rallied on July 1st. Let’s stop MAGA Republican hate peddling and keep working together for our freedoms, families and futures.
