Padilla Statement on Trump Executive Orders on Immigration

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, U.S. Senator Alex Padilla (D-Calif.), a member of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship, and Border Safety, issued the following statement after President Donald Trump signed several executive orders targeting immigrants: “All Americans will feel the impacts of Trump’s anti-immigrant agenda, creating chaos and fear in communities across our country, while also driving up costs for businesses and consumers. We can all agree that we need a secure and orderly border, however these executive actions only further complicate that effort — and many of them violate the rights guaranteed by our Constitution. So make no mistake: it won’t be long before a policy of chaos costs the American people.” ###
