The Cornyn Con continues: make promises in Texas, do nothing in Washington

"The House of Representatives passed a bill that legalizes Dreamers in 2019. It’s called the Dream and Promise Act, and it’s sitting on Mitch McConnell’s desk. @JohnCornyn could prove he has ‘evolved’ by publicly demanding a standalone vote." - @FrankSharry

"Texans support the legalization of the 11 million undocumented immigrants in America, including TPS holders, farm workers and other essential workers, and the many families that contribute so much to a nation that denies them citizenship." - @FrankSharry

"So @JohnCornyn has an election-year conversion, says he for a solution, but does nothing to actually to make it happen." - @FrankSharry

"@JohnCornyn has been a senator for 18 years. There is currently a bill sitting in the Senate, passed by the House more than a year ago that would provide citizenship for Dreamers, as Cornyn says he wants to do." - @_mariocarrillo_

"Why doesn’t @JohnCornyn just call on Senate Republicans to take the bill up now, and not wait until his reelection to vote on a bill the vast majority of Texans want? The answer is because he’s lying." - @_mariocarrillo_

"He won’t vote for a standalone bill to protect Dreamers like my wife, who have had to withstand Trump’s attacks on DACA for almost four years." - @_mariocarrillo_

"The truth is that Cornyn does not stand with our country’s young immigrants. He has enabled the worst of Trump on immigration and won’t do the right thing. We deserve better than @JohnCornyn." - @_mariocarrillo_ #CornynCon
