TAKE ACTION TO SUPPORT IMMIGRANTS
Two proposed federal regulations currently in the public comment period would have serious negative implications for current and future immigrants to the US. Numbers matter; each comment received will make a difference, as the Administration is required to read and respond to each separate (not identical) comment.
The first regulation - deadline for comment is November 6!- would allow for indefinite detention of children and remove safeguards to ensure children’s safety. The American Immigration Lawyers Association has a helpful page through which you can submit comments.
The second regulation - deadline for comment December 10!- would change the rules for who would be eligible for becoming a legal permanent resident (getting a green card); those who use or are likely to use food stamps, housing assistance, and/or subsidized health care would face new barriers (currently only use of cash assistance counts against people in this way). This will have both an effect on who gets to immigrate (richer people only) and will deter people from using benefits for which they’re eligible. The national coalition to fight this rule is called Protecting Immigrant Families; you can use their convenient form to submit your unique comment.
For both of these regulations, feel very free to write as much or as little as you like. Remember that the administration has to respond to each point raised when they publish the final regulation.
