(SACRAMENTO, CA) – Assemblymember Eduardo Garcia (D-Coachella) has released the following statement regarding President Trump’s executive order on Immigration Enforcement and Border Security.
“President Trump’s actions threaten the safety of residents in my district and the core values of our nation and state. I am proud to represent a border community and areas with large populations of immigrants. This executive order does not make us safer in fact it risks the separation of families and will greatly jeopardize our workforce, commerce and the overall economy. This week, Governor Brown reminded us of the vital role of immigrants in the narrative and development of California. I implore the federal government to heed that message and protect the right to dignity and due process. Diversity is our identity and our great strength.”
