Extreme Concessions on Immigration Will Depress Support Among Battleground Voters

The majority of voters in America are pro-immigrant and pro-orderliness – not for separating families, deporting long-settled immigrants or ending our asylum system. Yet currently, Republicans in Congress are demanding extreme and alarming immigration policy proposals in exchange for Ukraine aid. Most of these proposals are part of what Republican candidate Donald Trump has promised to deliver if re-elected. Conceding to these demands would have immense and detrimental consequences on critical battleground voters, including Latinos, Independents and the base. Not only would Democratic support of these policies depress the vote, but it would also lay out a path forward to separate families, deport Dreamers and long-settled immigrants, and cause irreparable, lasting damage to our immigration system. In response to Trump’s recent remarks to expand his anti-immigrant agenda, the Biden-Harris campaign pledged it would go on offense and underscore the threat that Trump presents to American democracy, our immigration system and American communities, including Latinos and immigrants. Accepting GOP demands is accepting a deficit in support for President Biden in 2024.
