After passing the House, the Senate is negotiating a massive reconciliation bill—but instead of supporting families, this legislation threatens immigrant communities, expands funding for mass deportation, and excludes millions of children from the Child Tax Credit (CTC).

This isn’t just bad policy. It’s a direct attack on millions of hardworking families who are part of the fabric of our communities.

The bill that passed the House excludes 4.5 million citizen and legal permanent resident children from the Child Tax Credit if one parent does not have a Social Security number, cuts legal immigrants off from Medicare benefits they’ve paid into for a decade or more, penalizes states for using their own money to provide health care for immigrants, demands thousands of dollars in new or drastically increased fees from immigrants seeking legal status or trying to reunite with unaccompanied children, and does all this while funneling hundreds of billions of dollars into Trump’s mass deportation machine.

The Senate needs to reject the House-passed bill and start over. We’re demanding a budget package that invests in vulnerable communities and lives up to the promise inscribed at the base of the Statue of Liberty that has strengthened our nation: “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.”
