Beneath our President's attempts to weaponize, politicize and racialize these migrants' journey for his own electoral benefit is one unavoidable truth: the Trump Administration has made a mess and a mockery out of the United States' immigration system. (1/3)
The caravan in the President’s crosshairs today is not a battalion of armed invaders. It is a group of thus far peaceful migrants walking across Central America with torn clothes, bloody feet and empty stomachs because what they left behind is so much worse. (2/3)
For those who reach our border, we have a process in place to meet them. Many may qualify for asylum. Those who do not will be sent back. If the Administration cannot adhere to US law and process these claims safely + expeditiously, it is another failure laid at their feet. (3/3)
