Rafael Medina, Director of Media Relations at the Center for American Progress, points out that he also wants to take away more benefits for immigrants.

He also says that his idea is to remove benefits for undocumented immigrants, but those who do not have documents generate taxes and do not collect or use them, as the Republican Trump accuses. In this sense, Rafael Medina, Director of Media Relations of the Center for American Progress, says that it is only an attempt by Trump to criminalize and attack immigrants and force them to return to their countries.
