Anti-Immigrant Movement: Immigrants and Care Act

anti-immigrant movement: But that was before Donald Trump won the presidency, according to Metro News. Now, the advocates for immigrants find themselves on the defensive in facing Trump, who has been severely critical of current immigration policies.A workshop on how more immigrants can qualify for health care under the Affordable Care Act was changed to Resiliency in Advocating for Immigrant Health in Hostile Environments. Attendees at this year National Immigration Integration Conference were hoping to explore ways to promote the rights of immigrants and refugees and help them integrate into society. And new sessions such as The Organized Anti-Immigrant Movement Who They Are, What They Want, and How We Can Push Back in Trump America are now on the agenda. We absolutely had to do a lot of post-election pivots for this conference, said Stephanie Teatro, Tennessee Immigrant and Refugee Rights Coalition co-executive director, not only to really meet sort of the moment and have the kind of conversations that immigrants rights advocates need and want to be having right now, but also because the policy landscape has fundamentally shifted. In the biggest assembly of its kind since Trump election, the conference of more than 1,000 immigrants and refugee rights leaders on Monday listened to Tennessee city mayors, the Mexican ambassador to the United States, and singer Emmylou Harris offer guidance in the new Trump age.
