Today Representative Dina Titus of Nevada’s First Congressional District released the following statement on H.Res. 990:

“This non-binding resolution is nothing more than a distraction by Congressional Republicans to mask their total failure to address the immigration issues facing our nation,” said Representative Titus. “After spending this entire Congress demonizing hard-working federal employees and undermining public service unions, Republicans now pull this political stunt to further hateful and xenophobic rhetoric meant to paint immigrants as criminals and gang members. Their shameful act will not address the plight of DREAMers; it does nothing to protect TPS recipients being forced to leave their families behind and return to horrific conditions in their home countries; nor will it reunite the thousands of children who remain separated from their parents at the hands of the Trump Administration. It only echoes the racist, anti-immigrant policies promoted by President Trump and his sycophants.”
