It\u2019s hard for Americans to believe President Trump is serious about positive immigration reform or advancing our national security, when he continuously vilifies immigrants, misconstrues their contributions to our nation and fuels divisiveness in our communities and abroad. From coast to coast, the country has already responded loud and clear against Trump\u2019s reckless anti-immigrant orders\u2014and today, the New York City council reaffirms its commitment to continue protecting and defending our immigrant communities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDurante la semana pasada, el Presidente Trump ha intentado disfrazar sus duras e intolerantes pol\u00edticas de inmigraci\u00f3n con una ret\u00f3rica populista que enga\u00f1osamente se\u00f1ala un cambio en su tono, pero no se dejen enga\u00f1ar. La orden ejecutiva presentada hoy por la Administraci\u00f3n puede usar palabras diferentes para describir una prohibici\u00f3n musulmana, pero su intencion sigue siendo las misma: normalizar la discriminaci\u00f3n basada en la religi\u00f3n y la etnicidad. Le debe resultar dif\u00edcil a la naci\u00f3n creer que el presidente Trump realmente quiere lograr una reforma migratoria positiva o avanzar nuestra seguridad nacional, cuando \u00e9l mismo denigra continuamente a los inmigrantes, malinterpreta sus contribuciones a nuestra pa\u00eds y alienta divisi\u00f3n en nuestras comunidades y en el extranjero. De costa a costa, el pa\u00eds ya ha respondido fuerte y claramente contra las imprudentes \u00f3rdenes anti-inmigrantes de Trump &#8211; y hoy, el Concejo de la Ciudad de Nueva York reafirma su compromiso de continuar protegiendo y defendiendo a nuestras comunidades de inmigrantes\u201d.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">###<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><em>Re: New Trump Travel Ban Executive Order\u00a0\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cOver the last week, President Trump has attempted to disguise his harsh and bigoted immigration policies with a populist rhetoric that deceitfully signals a shift in his tone\u2014but don\u2019t be fooled.
