Anti-Defamation League urges tone down immigration debate
WASHINGTON (JTA) -- The Anti-Defamation League asked presidential candidates to refrain from anti-immigration rhetoric.
The anti-bias group sent a letter to the major party presidential candidates requesting that they refrain from using language that demonizes and dehumanizes minorities, particularly Hispanics.
The ADL also sent the candidates a summary of its recent report, “Immigrants Targeted,” which documents how anti-immigrant propaganda has become a mainstream phenomena and begun to cultivate an environment where fear and hatred can thrive. “In the coming months, we hope the candidates will set an example of how immigration policy can be debated gracefully,” said Glen S. Lewy, ADL national chair, and Abraham H. Foxman, ADL national director.
