Please sign and pass along to friends and family.

A racist anti-immigrant bill endorsed by white supremacists is moving through Congress right now.1 We must demand that the Senate do everything in their power to block it.

Sens. Tom Cotton and David Perdue have introduced the Reforming American Immigration for Strong Employment (RAISE) Act, a bill that would crack down on legal immigration by restricting green cards, barring immigrants from reuniting with families and ending the diversity visa lottery.

If it becomes law, the RAISE Act will cut legal immigration by 50 percent.2 Trump and right-wing Republicans want to sanitize their anti-immigrant extremism by claiming they are focused on removing dangerous criminals from the country, but this legislation makes it clear that they plan to attack all immigrants. Speak out now to demand that Senate Democrats and Republicans of good conscience form a firm line of defense against Trump’s anti-immigrant agenda and stop the RAISE Act from becoming law.

1. I am kind of confused.

Is this only for those of different color and religions or is it for ALL immigrants?

Among other things, it would end the Diversity Immigrant Visa Program. It would also cap the number of green cards available annually for refugees at 50,000 per year. Democrats are unlikely to ever support it.
