Notice the expression on his face.
Is that the expression you would have when looking into a refrigerator truck of dead immigrants? Ones you flew across the country to see?
Smirk? Smile?
Either way it's wrong.

š„š Maybe that's because he posed in front of his real feelings about them.
Maybe we don't vote for someone like this #Nevada
None of the people I know here would feel he represents their values.

1st HIS FAMILY.
The 3 TIMES he's run they told Nevadan's not to vote for him AND this time they EVEN endorsed his opponent @SenCortezMasto
So why would you vote for a man whose own family won't?

Dear Republicansā¦ When was the last time an undocumented migrant took your job? Iāll wait. Were you a teacher, librarian, bus driver, truck driver, pharmacy tech, nurse, doctor, finance director, or a sitting member of congress? Iāll wait..
When was the last time you were passed over for healthcare, SNAP, WIC, housing, or enrollment in school because of an undocumented migrant? Iāll wait.
You know the crop workers, dishwashers, the food prepares, the janitors, house keepers, nannies, nursing home aids. The jobs us spoiled entitled Americans are too good to work. The people who will do anything at a chance at a better life.. Iāll wait.
I am deeply disappointed by todayās #DACA ruling and the ongoing uncertainty it creates for families and communities across the country.
We are currently reviewing the courtās decision and will work with @TheJusticeDept on an appropriate legal response.āÆ

As a result of the stay that remains in place, no one who currently has #DACA will lose their protection from removal or work authorization. (2/)
BREAKING: The 5th Circuit has ruled on #DACA, largely upholding a lower court ruling finding the policy unlawful.
It allows renewals to continue temporarily & has sent the case back to the lower court to consider @POTUS's new DACA regulation, which goes into effect on 10/31.

To be clear: This decision doesn't change who can currently apply for or renew DACA for now.
And at the same time, immigrant youth CANNOT continue to live under unceasing politicized attacks on DACA, and thus, their lives.
This painful uncertainty must end. #HomeisHere

DACA is a successful and commonsense policy that has transformed lives, improved our economy, and strengthened our nation.
It is legally and morally right, but it was always meant to be temporary.

#DACA court update: today all the parties in the case by Texas challenging the legality of DACA filed briefs at the 5th Circuit on what the new DACA regulation means for the case. A thread on those briefs & what could come next š§µ:
Nothing has changed today. DACA renewals remain open to folks with current DACA. Folks with DACA can apply for advanced parole. And first-time DACA applications, sadly, can be accepted but not adjudicated. Today was just an important set of court papers being filed. āļøš° /2
This case involves TX (& a handful of other states) who sued to end DACA claiming it is illegal. They won in district court in July 2021, and the case is now up on appeal to the 5th Circuit. The 5th circuit now has all the papers before it & could issue its ruling any day. /3
š§µToday, SCOTUS issued its decision in Biden v. TX. The issue was whether the Biden Admin legally canceled the Trump Adminās Migrant Protection Protocols (remain in Mexico).
In a 5-4 vote, the Court held for the Biden Admin. #ampFW ampfw.org/3uePrhq

In 2018, w/ a surge on our Southern Border, President Trumpās DHS promulgated MPP to prevent illegal aliens w/ meritless asylum claims from being released into the US.
Instead, if they arrived via Mexico, they had to return pending further proceedings.
Mexico agreed w/ this.

1/? Iām at the @AILANational conference where @USCIS director Ur Jaddou is speaking. She says the agency has almost 20% staff vacancy due to hiring freeze and they are aggressively hiring with the goal of 5% by the end of the calendar year.
2/ Unsurprisingly she says to be ready for a āfee restructureā that they are ācarefully reviewingā now. Hope to issue new proposed rule structure for an āequitableā structure āin the coming months.ā (Courts nixed Trump adminās last attempt to raise fees)
3/Jaddou reminds us that USCIS has not received extra funding to staff up for new, large, time sensitive programs like Uniting for Ukraine.
When President Obama established #DACA 10 years ago, our nation took a landmark step to honor our heritage as a land of immigrants & advance our promise of opportunity for all. Since then, courageous young immigrants have been empowered to proudly pursue their American Dream.
Rightfully, DACA has stood the test of time: enduring a decadeās worth of cruel and partisan assaults from anti-immigrant forces. Just two years ago, Americans rejoiced as the Supreme Court struck down the Trump Administrationās illegal, immoral attempt to terminate DACA.
But in just a few weeks, the future of DACA will again be on the line in a case before the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. This and similar attacks reaffirm the need for real, permanent action to deliver the security and stability our Dreamers need and deserve.

The recent attention in the media to the pressing issue of #DocumentedDreamers gives us an opportunity to take a bigger view of immigration issues. The issue of kids aging-out is an unintended though not unforeseeable consequence of massive #GCBacklogs.š§µ š 1/9
Fundamentally, this is a demand-supply and allocation issue. The number of #GC annually given out has not changed meaningfully since 1990. Meanwhile the US economy and labor market today are completely different from back then. 2/9
On top of this supply issue of #GC is the fact that their allocation is not equitable. How long you wait in line, usually boils down to the country you were born in. Not on skills, education, work experience, duration of stay in the US or contribution to the economy. 3/9

A thread on #DACA. It underscores the vast disparities in our legal system that it took 9 years for DACAāan erasure of immigration lawāto be held unlawful, while 45 was instantly enjoined from upholding immigration law (e.g. expedited removal). The imbalance is unsustainable. 1/7
And yet, even then, the judge (wrongly) stayed his ruling & DACA remains in effect, its benefits intact for all current recipients. No such judicial reprieve has yet been extended to the millions of U.S. Citizens suffering under Bidenās illegal border-nullification scheme. 2/7
Perhaps most astonishing is our media, corporate & political establishmentās religious reverence for DACA. Articles read like devotionalsāa seeming miracle the US survived 236 years without DACA, or that Americans managed any notable feats w/out āDreamersā to show us the way. 3/7
Into the legal weeds of DACA: The Biden Admin has reiterated that it intends to bolster #DACA by issuing a regulation after a notice & comment process. This will address PART, and only part, of Judge Hanen's legal critique of DACA which led to Friday's injection. THREAD 1/x
One of the legal objections to DACA has been that the Obama Admin issued it as a general policy statement (which can be done quickly), rather than giving the public notice and allowing comment, before issuing regulations. 2/x
FWIW, I explored the legal arguments with this notice & comment debate in a 2016 article. I don't think Judge Hanan is right about this, but there is clearly litigation risk here. And on this, Biden can address the problem fairly easily. 3/x scholars.law.unlv.edu/cgi/viewcontenā¦

A pathway to citizenship for minors brought to the US as children has consistently been at least as popular in voter polling as legalizing marijuana. Again and again for 2 decades, Rs have consistently blocked, filibustered, and refused to allow it to the floor for an honest vote
Never forget that #DACA was not some radical act of Obama's executive whim, but a product of genuine frustration from a broken system's failure to protect a population which more than 2/3 of Americans rightfully understand is #HereToStay.
As expected, Judge Hanen has issued an order that is out of sync with other legal interpretations on #DACA and effectively halts the program for new applicants. A thread on what the order does -- & doesnāt -- mean 1/8
First, the order should underscore for everyone watching that the clock ā° is ticking for Congress to act on #immigration. They needed to act 20 years ago, and they REALLY need to act now. But hereās what folks need to know now 2/8
Current DACA recipients are safe for now. While the order vacates the entire program, the Court has said that DHS can continue to process renewals for now. We donāt know how long this will last, so if youāve been waiting to renew, make sure to do it now. 3/8

#DACA has allowed recipients to put their skills and abilities to full use, giving them a greater sense of stability. More than 83% of previously surveyed DACA recipients reported that increased earnings has helped them become āfinancially independent.ā

Going to put some thoughts on the Texas v. U.S. hearing here. Nina Perales @MALDEF and the state of NJ, both representing #DACA recipients have already given brief remarks.
The Biden DOJ is speaking now and is discussing the Friday announcement that DHS would begin a rulemaking on #DACA and saying at minimum it will make substantive changes to the program.
First question from the Judge to DOJ: when is that rule making going to happen, anticipating that Texas will say "judge we have been waiting years for a decision."
Some Friday afternoon #DACA news. @TheJusticeDept just filed a notice before J. Hanen in the case brought by Texas challenging the legality of the DACA program. In that notice, DOJ says DHS intends to issue a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking proposing a new regulation on DACA /1
A status conference is set for March 30 @11 am CT in Houston where the parties will discuss what happens next. Just as a recap, the parties here are: Texas & other states trying to end the DACA program; @MALDEF & @NewJerseyOAG who have intervened to defend DACA & DOJ. /2
