United Methodist Women speaking out strongly against US immigration policy. " " United Methodist Women sees the faces of those who will not benefit from this bill: * Families served by our National Mission Institutions near the border who fear seeking services because of harassment by the border patrol. * A domestic worker who cannot get on the pathway to citizenship because an employer laid her off and she hasn’t been able to find a job in less than the 60-day unemployment window. * A woman with provisional status ineligible for Medicaid so cannot afford to take her children to the doctor. United Methodist Women rejects the disciplinary nature of the current Senate immigration bill and proposals in the House of Representatives. “Rather than target and criminalize immigrants for coming to the United States without papers, we must address the reasons that migrants are forced to come. Human rights and racial justice must be at the core of both U.S. economic and immigration policy,” said Janis Rosheuvel, executive for racial justice. " "
