In the wake of Donald Trump being re-elected President of the United States Tuesday, multiple New York City-based immigrant organizations have released statements in which they criticized Trump for his history of anti-immigrant rhetoric and reinforced their missions to protect immigrants from any unconstitutional actions his administration may take to get them deported.
Throughout his presidential campaign, Trump has been highly critical of the amount of immigrants in the United States, both legally and illegally. He also has not shied away from espousing xenophobic conspiracies, like saying that the legal Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio, were there illegally and stealing and eating residents’ cats and dogs.
