  • June 20, 2018 the Honorable Jeff Sessions Attorney General U.S. Department of Justice Washington, DC 20530 the Honorable Kirstje
    June 20, 2018 The Honorable Jeff Sessions Attorney General U.S. Department of Justice Washington, DC 20530 The Honorable Kirstjen Nielsen Secretary of Homeland Security Department of Homeland Security Washington, DC 20528 Dear Attorney General Sessions and Secretary Nielsen, On behalf of the 55 undersigned national and 291 state and local Jewish organizations and institutions, we write to express our strong opposition to the recently expanded “zero-tolerance” policy that includes separating children from their migrant parents when they cross the border. This policy undermines the values of our nation and jeopardizes the safety and well-being of thousands of people. As Jews, we understand the plight of being an immigrant fleeing violence and oppression. We believe that the United States is a nation of immigrants and how we treat the stranger reflects on the moral values and ideals of this nation. Many of these migrant families are seeking asylum in the United States to escape violence in Central America. Taking children away from their families is unconscionable. Such practices inflict unnecessary trauma on parents and children, many of whom have already suffered traumatic experiences. This added trauma negatively impacts physical and mental health, including increasing the risk of early death.1 Separating families is a cruel punishment for children and families simply seeking a better life and exacerbates existing challenges in our immigration system. It adds to the backlog of deportation cases and legal challenges in federal courts, places thousands more immigrants in detention facilities and shelters, endangers the lives of more children, and instills additional fear in people seeking safety in our country.

    Dear Members of Congress, As people of faith, we believe all people are made in the image of God, and we take very seriously the call to love our neighbors as ourselves. Right now, millions of immigrants who have deep roots in our communities are living in imminent danger of deportation. To remedy this senseless injustice, we urge you to support the Dream and Promise Act (HR. 6), the Dream Act of 2019 (S. 874) and the SECURE Act (S.879), common-sense legislation that would provide a pathway to citizenship for people eligible for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), people who hold Temporary Protected Status (TPS), and recipients of Deferred Enforced Departure (DED). The Trump administration’s decision to end DACA protections for young adults and strip TPS and DED protections away from people fleeing violence and disaster was immoral and cruel. People who have built lives, raised children and are members of our communities live in constant fear of losing everything. It’s past time for Congress to provide a path to citizenship for all people currently protected by DACA, TPS, and DED so our beloved neighbors can live full, free and secure lives in our communities. These bills reflect the values etched into the Statue of Liberty and woven throughout the scriptures and teachings of our diverse faiths. We call on all members of Congress to demonstrate their commitment to family values and the American dream by cosponsoring these bills and dedicating themselves to passing them without any additional measures that would further harm our communities.
