Rep. Marcia L. Fudge: “Instead of considering hungry individuals and their unique struggles and needs, the Department has chosen to paint them with the broadest brush, demonizing them as lazy and undeserving. The President has cynically weaponized USDA as a blunt political instrument, in clear opposition to its mission to ‘do right and feed everyone.’ USDA has sunk to a new low in its war on the poor.”

Warren Seigel, MD, FAAP, Chair of NYSAAP: “The proposed rule eliminating DACA status would put 6,900 New York U.S. citizen children, whose parents are currently DACA recipients in severe jeopardy,” he added. “Breaking up New York State families based on faulty immigration policy is antithetical to good pediatric care.”

[2020 Census\Republican Fraud]
Missouri Congressman Clay: “First, the Trump Administration tried to rig the 2020 Census with a racist citizenship question to intentionally increase the undercount of non-white persons. And now, they send an “imitation census” mailing to confuse Americans while trying to raise money for the President’s reelection. With every action, this president and his enablers show their complete contempt for the truth, the rule of law and the Constitution.”

Congressional Tri-Caucus statement: “The Tri-Caucus believes the Trump Administration’s public charge rule was written with the clear intent of intimidating and discriminating against immigrants of color. The rule is yet another attempt by the Trump Administration to create an immigration system that is stacked against non-European, non-white immigrants in favor of the wealthy.”

[Employment Discrimination]
NY Attorney General James: “This proposed rule legitimizes discrimination and is an affront to our values. We will not allow this administration to turn back the clock on civil rights without a vigorous fight. They would do well to remember that in America, our diversity is our strength and that hate has no home here.”

Congressional Chairwoman Karen Bass: “During the last census count in 2010, African Americans were undercounted by over 800,000. That is totally unacceptable, and we must close the gap and ensure higher Black participation in the 2020 census so that our communities do not miss out on the federal resources we need the most. The Trump Administration has made a number of policy statements and changes that many of us in the Black Caucus find troubling.”

Attorney General James: “We will not allow Trump Administration to enact rules that violate the laws and the values of this country. If enforced, the public charge rule will not only sow fear and chaos into the lives of immigrants working to lift themselves and their families out of poverty, but will have an adverse impact on the health and wellbeing of New Yorkers, and individuals across this country.”
