To: Paul Ryan, Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives
Paul Ryan: Pass the Dream Act Now!
Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) is retiring. He’s made multiple promises to act on immigration reform and the Dream Act over the years, but carried out none of them. Tell Speaker Ryan: you still have time to take action! Do the right thing and pass the Dream Act!
Why is this important?
Last week, Republican Speaker of the House Paul Ryan (R-WI) announced that he is stepping down at the end of this term.
That means he’s quitting Congress at a time when Donald Trump’s deportation force is separating more families than ever.
Paul Ryan has stated a belief in immigration reform and the Dream Act. Just last year, he told a Dreamer, Angelica Villalobos, that people like her don’t need to worry about being deported. “I hope your future is here,” he said.
Yet Speaker Ryan has never taken action on the Dream Act or other legislation that would help immigrants. He has been too cowed by Donald Trump and the white nationalist extremists in his own party. In fact, Ryan has allowed the Steve King wing of his caucus to hold numerous anti-immigrant votes.
But Paul Ryan still has nine months left in his term. The Dream Act would pass in the House, if Ryan allowed it to come up for a vote. He has nothing to lose, and he could help change the lives of almost 800,000 young people who call America their home.
Tell Paul Ryan: it’s not too late! Take action on the Dream Act now!
