We'll be live tweeting the #DemConvention again tonight to provide updates on immigration policy commentary.

And to see @KamalaHarris, of course. #DemocraticConvention #HadEnoughTrump

.@BarackObama: "At minimum, we should expect a president to feel a sense of responsibility for the safety & welfare of all 330 million of us – regardless of what we look like, how we worship, who we love, how much money we have – or who we voted for." #DemConvention

.@BarackObama: "That empathy, that decency, the belief that everyone counts, that's who he is." #DemConvention #DemocraticConvention

.@BarackObama: "I’ve seen that same spirit rising these past few years. Folks of every age and background who packed city centers and airports and rural roads so that families wouldn’t be separated." #DemConvention #DemocraticConvention

.@KamalaHarris: "We are not often taught their stories, but as Americans we all stand on their shoulders." #DemConvention #DemocraticConvention

.@KamalaHarris: "There's another woman, whose name isn't known, whose story isn’t shared. Another woman whose shoulders I stand on. And that’s my mother—Shyamala Gopalan Harris. She came here from India at age 19 to pursue her dream of curing cancer." #DemConvention

.@KamalaHarris: "While this virus touches us all, we gotta be honest, it is not an equal opportunity offender. Black, Latino and Indigenous people are suffering and dying disproportionately. This is not a coincidence. It is the effect of structural racism." #DemConvention
