The US has the highest number of #COVID19 cases globally.
So instead of:
Providing accurate information to the public.
Ensuring frontline workers have access to PPE.
Mass producing ventilators.
Scaling up testing.
The president announced an #ImmigrationBan
Why?

Why?
Because when the administration mishandles a crisis, immigrants become the scapegoat.
Racism, xenophobia & misinformation are used to enact anti-immigrant policies.
The impact? Immigrants disappear from their communities, families get separated & ppl die in detention centers.

All while the real crisis is left unaddressed.
There is 0 public health rationale for an #ImmigrationBan—especially b/c immigrants are crucial to the nation’s response to the pandemic.
Immigrants are disproportionately in frontline jobs at hospitals, grocery stores & farms.

Right now, many of the low wage workers cooking our takeout & picking our food are immigrants.
DACA recipients are saving lives as nurses & doctors & immigrant janitors are keeping our hospitals clean.
All while being blamed for a crisis they did not create.

This is just the next in a history of attacks by the administration on immigrants— from #MPP #MuslimBan #FamilySeparation & more.
1 mo. ago, 10,000 asylum seekers were deported without due process, including ppl with #COVID19— worsening the crisis countries like Guatemala.

The administration takes a mile, b/c they know it forces us to fight back for inches.
To them, immigrants are just a ploy to be used to distract from their incompetence.
We won't let this happen. This fight is never easy. But we're not giving up now. We’re ready. #DontLookAway
