House GOP pulls border bill rather than see it defeated

Thanks for all your calls! Gracias por todas sus llamadas.

Update (from Reform Immigration for America): The House of Representatives has adjourned for August Recess without holding a vote on their border supplemental, a bill that would have ramped up enforcement on the border and limited the rights of the refugee children. House Republicans also adjourned before having a vote on their bill to end the DACA program.

Your calls helped stop the House Republican's assault on the rights of immigrants and the refugee children.

La Cámara de Representantes ha cerrado por el receso de agosto sin haber votado sobre su proyecto de ley suplemental sobre la frontera-- un proyecto de ley que hubiera incrementado la militarización de la frontera y limitado los derechos de niños refugiados. También se cerró antes de haber votado para terminar con DACA.

Sus llamadas ayudaron a parar el asalto a los derechos de los inmigrantes y niños refugiados por parte de los Republicanos en la Cámara de Representantes.

The pulling of the bill marked an embarrassing failure in the first real test of the new leadership team that takes office Thursday Eric Cantor’s resignation as majority leader.

"DHS’s “send a message” policy is an affront to notions of justice and decency. These women and children are real people, not political chess pieces. They should be released so they have a fair chance to find a lawyer and present their cases in immigration court." -Megan E. Jordi, Legal Director, New Mexico Immigrant Law Center

Using Jailed Migrants as a Pool of Cheap Labor

"according to data from United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement, known as ICE. The cheap labor, 13 cents an hour, saves the government and the private companies $40 million or more a year by allowing them to avoid paying outside contractors the $7.25 federal minimum wage. Some immigrants held at county jails work for free, or are paid with sodas or candy bars"

As the federal government cracks down on immigrants in the country illegally and forbids businesses to hire them, it is relying on tens of thousands of those immigrants each year to provide essential labor.
