During one of Representative Tom McClintock’s town halls, a DREAMer student – protected under the DACA program – bravely stood up and asked him what will he do to protect DREAMers and “people who love this country and respect it” from deportation.
McClintock gave a heartless response: “She should obey our immigration laws, return to her own country and apply for admission […].”
“It has become increasingly clear that in the Republican Party’s America, immigrants and Latinos aren’t welcome,” said Javier Gamboa of the DCCC. “President Trump’s cruel mass deportation force has brought anxiety and fear to immigrant and Latino communities, and Representative McClintock’s coldhearted comments only make matters worse. Republicans have let nuestra comunidad down and we will remember this moment come election day.”
