Thread: EMERGENCY LOBBY ACTION BY TIRRC MARCH 27 TN

Emergency Call to Action!

Please Attend the TN New American Day on the Hill

(Register today for this March 27th event!)

Tennessee state legislators are attempting to pass some of the harshest legislation against immigrants and refugees in the nation. They've proposed over 40 bills designed to instill fear in all immigrants, a piecemeal approach to immigration enforcement certain to break down communities and damage quality of life for all Tennesseans.

Should noncitizens be charged an immigrant tax for certain services, regardless of their immigration status?
Should our Japanese, Korean, and Spanish-speaking neighbors undergo special security checks to get driver's licenses?
Should landlords, church bus drivers, even car salesmen be turned into immigration enforcement agents?
Does preventing 50,000+ immigrant drivers from obtaining driving safety documents or insurance make our roads safer?
Do rules that prohibit adult immigrants from studying English help them integrate into our communities?
Should all Tennesseans be forced to provide proof of citizenship anytime they interact with a public employee?
Should immigrant parents have to worry that they will never see their children again every time they drive on TN highways?

Unjust Proposals, Unintended Consequences

— Tennessee's effort to legislate federal immigration policy—

Tennesseans want the government to fix our immigration system, but they're not asking for this. What follows is 40+ state legislative attempts to make life more difficult for all immigrants, a piecemeal approach to immigration enforcement certain to break down communities and damage quality of life for all Tennesseans. The people of this state want a legal immigration system that works, and a federal government willing and able to uphold the rule of law. They're not asking for a new immigrant tax that penalizes noncitizens regardless of immigration status, special security checks for Japanese, Korean, and Spanish-speaking immigrants, burdens on landlords, church bus drivers, even car salesmen to enforce federal immigration policy, fifty thousand immigrant drivers on the road without driving safety documents or insurance, rules that prohibit adult immigrants from studying English, or laws that make a criminal of any government employee who doesn't understand the legal difference between asylum and Temporary Protected Status (TPS). The majority of Americans prefer a comprehensive, federal solution that reflects our nation's values of family, hard work, and fairness.
