UPDATE: Paul Ryan is shopping around his immigration proposal as a “fix” to family separation. That’s a lie. It does NOT solve this Trump-created crisis. It only makes it worse. Here’s what this bill would 𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙪𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 do:
#KeepFamiliesTogether #FamiliesBelongTogether
#KeepFamiliesTogether #FamiliesBelongTogether
❌ Jails families together — i.e., bigger cages for families
❌ INDEFINITE detention of children while parents are being prosecuted
❌ Would still result in separation of families if parent is sentenced to jail time

The bill also does NOT provide security and relief for DACA recipients. It creates a long, complicated process that does not guarantee that Dreamers will 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 obtain permanent relief. In short, it leaves many in the same limbo they’re in now. #DreamActNow
And it gets WORSE. Ryan’s bill also:
Fully funds Trump’s border wall
Adds 50,000 border patrol agents (the ones taking kids away from parents)
Eliminates the diversity visa program
Drastically restricts family re-unification
Restricts access to asylum
Expands internal enforcement
