First Dreamer gets deported, 32BJ responds with Hctor Figueroa, Pres. of 32BJ Service Employees International Union, the largest property services union in the country.
Juan Manuel Montes Bojorquez, 23, has lived in the United States since he was 9. He said he had a valid permit. He has become the first so-called Dreamer to be deported by the Trump administration. Responding to the detention and deportation of Juan Bojorquez and Trumps threat to 800,000 other Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) the labor leader of the mighty 32JB of the countrys largest union SEIU said: President Trumps decision to deport nearly one million Dreamers is a disgusting act of cowardice and cruelty. Repealing DACA is a low in a Presidency marked by discrimination and the removal of rights for people of color. Deporting nearly one million young people will not create a single job or make America better for anyone. It will harm our economy and further erode the values holding our nation together. It will compound the problems of an already broken immigration system and will needlessly put at risk of deportation people who love this country and are committed to its future. We demand that Congress passes a permanent and clean legislative fix that isnt used as bait to win anti-immigrant measures. We will also continue to call on our elected officials at all of the levels of government to build sanctuary spaces and deportation defense networks to keep millions out of Trumps deportation
