President Trump’s plan to begin deporting millions of illegal immigrants has caused an uproar among Democrats.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, in a statement issued Tuesday, called the move inhumane and called on the president to work with the party on immigration reform.
“The President’s new threat of a mass deportation dragnet is an act of utter malice and bigotry, designed solely to inject fear in our communities,†Pelosi said.
“The President must walk away from these cruel, ineffective and discriminatory policies, and work with Democrats to support smart, effective immigration reform that honors our values and keeps families together and safe.â€
Trump’s plan to deport illegal immigrants follows a massive surge of illegal immigration along the southern border.
Most of the migrants traveled through Mexico from Central American countries.
