Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito said: <\/strong>\u201cIf there was ever any doubt about whether Donald Trump\u2019s hateful rhetoric truly reflected his intentions, today\u2019s Executive Orders affirm that his agenda will take our country down a dangerous and divisive path. Instead of finding solutions for our broken immigration system, President Trump\u2019s reckless decisions to build a costly wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, attack Sanctuary Cities, persecute immigrants, and restore the deeply flawed Secure Communities program, will only fuel division and foster unfounded fears. Let\u2019s be clear, these proposals are driven by the false narrative that immigrants are criminals \u2013 yet what President Trump seems to forget is that America is a nation of immigrants. Immigrants strengthen our economy, enrich our communities and uphold America\u2019s ideals of family, inclusion and compassion. Today, this City Council reaffirms its commitment to doing everything in its power to defend the rule of law and support our immigrant communities. No wall, no bullying, or fearmongering will change that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Immigration Chair Carlos Menchaca said: <\/strong>\u201cOur City, neighborhoods of immigrant families, will unite, resist and protect each other. President Trump’s executive orders announced today are not a surprise. We heard this hateful rhetoric during the campaign. While the President orders the building of a wall and a dozen other measures to reinforce our borders, here in NYC, we have already built a wall against hate. While the President orders the end of sanctuary cities and announces aggressive interior enforcement, here in NYC, we are a proud city of sanctuary for every New Yorker and we are working around the clock to ensure that we are prepared to defend immigrant New Yorkers through existing legal support programs. While the President orders a ban on the entry of individuals from Muslim majority countries, here in NYC, we passed a resolution supporting Muslim communities, affirming the religious pluralism of the US, and urging all residents to stand together for peace and understanding. We do not stand with the divisive, inhumane and backward policies that have been announced today.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSi alguna vez hubo duda si la ret\u00f3rica de odio de Donald Trump reflejaba verdaderamente sus intenciones, las ordenes ejecutivas de hoy afirman que su agenda llevar\u00e1 a nuestro pa\u00eds por un camino peligroso y divisorio. En lugar de encontrar soluciones para nuestro sistema de inmigraci\u00f3n quebrantado, las decisiones imprudentes del Presidente Trump de construir un costoso muro a lo largo de la frontera entre Estados Unidos y M\u00e9xico, atacar a las ciudades santuario, perseguir a los inmigrantes y restaurar Comunidades Seguras, un programa profundamente defectuoso, s\u00f3lo alimentar\u00e1 la divisi\u00f3n y fomentar\u00e1 temores infundados. Seamos claros, estas propuestas est\u00e1n impulsadas por la falsa narrativa de que los inmigrantes son criminales. Sin embargo, lo que el Presidente Trump parece olvidar es que Estados Unidos es una naci\u00f3n de inmigrantes. Los inmigrantes fortalecen nuestra econom\u00eda, enriquecen nuestras comunidades y sostienen los ideales americanos de la familia, la inclusi\u00f3n y la compasi\u00f3n. Hoy, este Concejo Municipal reafirma su compromiso de hacer todo lo que est\u00e9 a su alcance para defender la regla de ley y apoyar a nuestras comunidades inmigrantes. Ning\u00fan muro, ninguna intimidaci\u00f3n, o temor cambiar\u00e1 eso.\u201d<\/p>\n
