Statement from Dolores Huerta on the Deportation of the Cuevas Family

by upton sinclair (irlandeso [at] riseup.net)
This is a statement that Dolores Huerta just sent to the Cuevas Family Support Committee to be read at the press conference tonight.
This unjust deportation of the Cuevas family is a reflection of our unjust immigration policy. It does not make any kind of logical sense to deport people who are making a positive contribution to our society. This family typifies the American Dream of self sufficiency and achievement. What message are we sending to the world when we say we want to bring "DEMOCRACY AND FREEDOM" to the world, yet our government punishes those within our borders who exemplify what we preach?

Dolores Huerta, president of the Dolores Huerta Foundation
