Dick,
Last month, Trump nominated anti-immigrant extremist Ronald
Mortensen to oversee refugee resettlement in the U.S. as Assistant Secretary of
State for the Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (PRM). A xenophobic
racist like Mortensen should not be the top diplomat overseeing U.S. policies
towards the millions of people uprooted by humanitarian crises across the
world.
Next month, the Senate will vote on whether to confirm Mortensen
in this dangerous position. And we can block him.
Already, there is bipartisan pressure to block Mortensen’s
nomination. If we put enough pressure on our Senators right now, we can stop
Mortensen and start to break apart the racist infrastructure upholding the
militarized and barricaded borders of this country.
Mortensen literally gets paid to be a white supremacist. He works
for a far-right, anti-immigrant hate group and spews rhetoric attacking
immigrants. What’s more, confirming Mortensen would add yet another bigot to a
Trump administration already stacked with anti-migrant and anti-Muslim
extremists, from Stephen Miller to Mike Pompeo.
Migration is a human right. The world is facing the worst
refugee crisis since World War II — many of whom are fleeing wars caused by the
United States’ failed violence-first foreign policy and natural disasters
fueled by U.S.-driven climate change —and yet the United States is currently
at the lowest refugee resettlement goals in history.
This is no accident. From the Trump administration’s refugee
bans disguised as “extreme vetting,” to the Muslim ban, to the inhumane policy
of separating migrant kids from their families, Trump’s attacks on refugees are
part and parcel of his racist, anti-immigrant agenda and systematic effort to
dismantle U.S. refugee resettlement and other immigration relief programs.
On this day and every day, let’s exercise true solidarity with
refugees on the frontlines of war, climate catastrophe, social and economic
inequalities, and violence. Not just because militarism is a core root cause of
the modern-day refugee crisis, but because all humans, especially those fleeing
their homes, have the right to safety, shelter and refuge, and the U.S. has an
obligation to provide it. Refugees already face devastating obstacles in the
pursuit of safety. We can’t allow Mortensen to make this pursuit impossible.
Thank you for standing with refugees today,
Mariam, Aubrey, Tara and the Win Without War team.
