Inmigrantes de Florida Protestan Evento de Recaudación de Fondos Republicano en Tallahassee

Floridians Rally at GOB Fundraiser in Tallahassee Tallahassee, FL—A delegation of community members from Central Florida, including undocumented youth and farmworkers, drove all the way up to Tallahassee to rally in front of a GOP fundraising event co-hosted by Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush. See pics here Even though Bush and Rubio did not attend their own event, one of the main objectives for the delegation is to ask the Republican Party in Florida to stop the attacks on immigrant families by trying to boycott the implementation of the administration's immigration relief programs DAPA and DACA expanded. They want to specifically ask Attorney General Pam Bondi to withdraw Florida from a lawsuit attacking DAPA and DACA. These two programs would stop the deportation of approximately 253,000 Floridians who came at a very young age and grew up in our state, or are parents of Floridians who are U.S. citizens or Legal Permanent Residents. "YAD members & supporters head out to Tallahassee to let Governor Rick Scott & Attorney General Pam Bondi know that they didn't represent Florida when they joined the lawsuit to stop the expansion of DACA & implementation of DAPA. YAD is outraged at the hypocrisy of Jeb Bush as he stated that if he's elected president, he'd repeal President Obama's executive orders that protect families! And Senator Marco Rubio, YAD is at a loss for words on how first you wrote legislation for immigration reform that passed, then stated that you no longer supported it." |
