When the system is overwhelmed, the President should have emergency authority to expel migrants who are crossing unlawfully and stop processing asylum claims except for those using a safe and orderly process at Ports of Entry. 1/16 #DemPartyPlatform2024 #BorderSecurity Image
The authority should be accompanied by humanitarian exceptions for vulnerable populations including unaccompanied children and victims of trafficking. 2/16
#BorderSecurity #Harris_Walz2024 #DemPartyPlatform2024 Image
#Congress should also dedicate resources to detain and remove individuals quickly, and rapidly process those who cannot be detained in a non-custodial setting under government supervision. 3/16 #BorderSecurity #Harris_Walz2024 #DemPartyPlatform2024 Image

President Biden, Vice President Harris, and #Democrats know that democracy has always been America's sacred cause. Whether that's still true is the most urgent question of our time, and it's what the 2024 election is all about. 1/15 #DemPartyPlatform2024 #ProtectOurDemocracy Image
America is the only country on earth built on an idea: that all people are created equal. We've never fully lived up to that, but we've never walked away from it, either. And we won't let Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans walk away from it now. 2/15 #DemPartyPlatform2024 Image
The President, Vice President, and all #Democrats will continue to work every day to ensure that our democracy endures.President Biden has put protecting American democracy at the heart of his presidency. 3/15 #ProtectOurDemocracy #Harris_Walz2024 #DemPartyPlatform2024 Image

For too long in this country, too many communities have been denied the basic security and dignity that comes from having clean air, clean water, and functioning infrastructure. 1/16 #DemPartyPlatform2024 #EnvironmentalJustice #Harris_Walz2024 Image
Too many parents still lay awake at night worrying what the rain or soil or water or air is doing to their kids. That kind of inequity goes against everything that we stand for as a nation. 2/16 #DemPartyPlatform2024 #EnvironmentalJustice #Harris_Walz2024 Image
To finally change that, the Biden/Harris climate agenda includes the most ambitious environmental justice actions in history, making sure that the people who've suffered most from legacy pollution can now share in the benefits. 3/16 #DemPartyPlatform2024 #EnvironmentalJustice Image

Today, corporate consolidation is allowing companies to keep raking in historic profits, while continuing to raise prices for working families. 1/13 #DemPartyPlatform2024 #CorporateConsolidation #DemocratsDeliver #HarrisWalz2024 Image
In the two decades before President Biden & VP Harris came to office, three-quarters of American industries grew more concentrated. As the President often says, capitalism without competition isn't capitalism, it's exploitation. 2/13 #DemPartyPlatform2024 #Competition #DemsAct Image
And the American people are tired of being played for suckers.The Biden/Harris Administration has taken historic steps to boost competition across our economy, in fields from finance and farming to technology and transportation. 3/13

American farmers are the backbone of our country. They feed America, and help feed the world. But over the years, trickle-down economics has hit rural America hard. 1/13 #DemPartyPlatform2024 #farmers #agriculture #HarrisWalz2024 Image
#Farming costs have gone up & incomes have gone down.Big Agriculture moved in,telling too many small farms that the surest path to success was to get big or get out. As a result, we lost over 400,000 farms in the last 40 years, & rural communities have paid a steep price. 2/13 Image
Too many young people have had to leave their hometowns to find good-paying work & a shot at their dreams.
#Democrats believe that no one should have to leave the community where they grew up just to find opportunity. 3/13 #DemPartyPlatform2024 #Agriculture #YoungPeople Image

At the start of the Biden-Harris Administration, in the midst of the worst economic crisis in 100 years, experts feared a stagnating recovery and even worried about a new recession. 1/11 #DemPartyPlatform #HarrisWalz2024 Image
But #Democrats chose to put workers first, and instead of recession, America has seen remarkable strength and resilience. Our economy grew by 3.1 percent last year – the fastest rate of any major economy in the world. 2/11 #DemPartyPlatform2024 #HarrisWalz2024 #EconomyMatters Image
#Democrats added nearly 16 million jobs – not only recovering all the positions lost during Trump's botched handling of COVID, but also adding 6.3 million more than existed before the pandemic – surpassing pre-pandemic projections for the labor market. 3/11 #HarrisWalz2024 Image
