Stop the Racist Double Standard on Immigration and Protect American Benefits
To: Sen. Husted, Sen. Moreno, Rep. Joyce
From: A constituent in Willoughby, OH
September 23
The administration's immigration policy is racist and you need to say so publicly. Hundreds of thousands of hardworking immigrants fleeing documented persecution are being deported, while white South Africans — claiming persecution that the State Department itself has not verified — are being fast-tracked into the country and handed $4,500 each to "start a life here." That is not a policy. That is a racial preference program funded by taxpayers.
The hypocrisy is staggering. The same administration spreading lies about immigrants draining government benefits — benefits they are legally ineligible to receive as non-citizens — is writing checks to a select group of newcomers based on their skin color. Meanwhile, real Americans are losing Medicaid, Medicare, SNAP, and VA benefits right now, with Social Security cuts already planned for 2027. My neighbors are rationing insulin while the government hands out $4,500 welcome packages based on race.
I want you to publicly condemn this double standard, demand an immediate investigation into the legal basis for this preferential resettlement program, and vote against every budget that cuts Medicaid, Medicare, SNAP, VA benefits, or Social Security. This is a matter of basic equal protection and human decency. Do your job.
