Our faith calls us to welcome the sojourner and care for our neighbor. And across the country, Americans want Congress to spend our tax dollars on programs that deliver what families need now -- affordable health care, housing, food, and more. Passing a budget reconciliation package that gives ICE and CBP more than $70 billion in additional funding for their cruel and inhumane arrests in our neighborhoods is unnecessary. I urge you to vote NO on the current proposed budget reconciliation package. At a time when many are struggling to earn a dignified living, retire safely, or afford the roof over their head, Congress must prioritize funding health care, housing, and food with our tax dollars – not more ICE cruelty.
