Attorney General Slatery: Drop Tennessee from the partisan lawsuit attacking long-time Tennessee immigrants and families!

Why is this important?

Thousands of undocumented immigrant families in Tennessee will soon have a chance to be a part of the American Dream--but Attorney General Herbert Slatery is determined to get in the way.

With Republicans in Congress failing to pass immigration reform, President Obama was forced to act on his own. Now immigrant families will soon have a chance to come forward and register, get permits to work legally and contribute our system, and finally get a chance to live without the daily fear of deportation.

But rather than embracing immigrants, Attorney General Slatery has joined a partisan lawsuit against the federal government over the President’s program. Most legal experts agree that this lawsuit is a political stunt and has no legal standing. It’s nothing more than a mean-spirited attack on Tennessee immigrants and their families.

Immigrants are a part of the Tennessee community and deserve a chance to work hard, contribute, and be together. Tell AG Slatery to drop Tennessee from this partisan lawsuit, stop attacking our state’s immigrant families, and be on the right side of history.
