STATEMENT FROM CONGRESSMAN JOE MORELLE ON TOM HOMAN'S VISIT TO OUR COMMUNITY

(Washington, D.C.)—Today, Congressman Joe Morelle issued the following statement on "Border Czar" Tom Homan's upcoming visit to Rochester, NY to tout the Trump Administration’s cruel and illegal immigration policies:

“The immigration policies being pushed by the Trump Administration are inhumane, illegal, and antithetical to the values America has always stood for. We all want secure borders and safe communities—but ripping apart families and deporting American citizens does nothing to accomplish that goal.

“How does deporting a four-year-old undergoing treatment for metastatic cancer make America any safer? How does deporting a two-year-old reduce crime? It doesn’t. It’s just cruel.

“Instead of using Rochester as a prop to make a political statement, Tom Homan should focus on following the rule of law and actually doing his job.”
