January 12, 2018 – We denounce the comments reportedly made by President Trump yesterday regarding immigrants from Haiti and some African countries. Throughout history, people have come to the United States in search of freedom and opportunity. America is a nation of immigrants, and there is no place for the nativist language that came out of the White House yesterday. JCRC/AJC will continue to stand up in defense of pluralism and in support of immigration policies that reflect our values.
