Donald Trump has exploited the lie that immigrants are to blame for working people’s frustrations. As we wind down Immigrant Heritage Month, in the face of baseless, racist, partisan attacks on our communities, it is now more important than ever to advocate for immigrants and the essential role they play in our nation.

For years, politicians have misled Americans, fostering hatred against immigrants to hide the truth: it was always about profits over people, that cruelty towards migrants was an acceptable consequence. A new report by Public Citizen and the National Partnership for New Americans (NPNA) shows that, in fact, working people at home and abroad have suffered from “free trade” policies, which Trump claims to hate but has no intention of fixing.

Join us congressional leaders, the report author, and activists from front-line communities for a timely discussion on how U.S. trade and immigration policies fuel displacement and drive labor exploitation, while corporations profit and migrants pay the price.
