Support USAID

Continuing crucial USAID programs is vital for promoting stability and economic development in regions that are major sources of migration to the United States. Cutting off this assistance could exacerbate poverty, violence, and lack of opportunity - key drivers of people fleeing their home countries. USAID plays an essential role in addressing root causes rather than just responding to symptoms. Its initiatives foster self-reliance and reduce dependence on emergency aid over time. Maintaining a robust USAID presence aligns with the administration's stated goals of curtailing illegal immigration in a sustainable manner. I urge you to uphold funding for these programs that create conditions allowing people to thrive in their communities of origin.
