.@SenSchumer: "Behind me is a sight I see every night—the Statue of Liberty. It greeted hopeful immigrants like my grandparents. A symbol of freedom. A beacon of hope to the world." #DemocraticConvention #DemConvention #DNC2020 Image
.@SenSchumer: "We will reform our immigration system so that immigrants, yearning to breathe free, will at last become American citizens." #DemocraticConvention #DemConvention #DNC2020 Image
.@AOC: "A movement striving to recognize & repair the wounds of racial injustice, colonization, misogyny & homophobia. & to propose & build reimagined systems of immigration and foreign policy that turn away from the violence and xenophobia of our past."

Khizr Khan: "Three years ago, my beloved city Charlottesville, VA, was attacked by white supremacists and a young woman was killed. We were attacked again when Donald Trump praised those racists."

.@vcardenasDC: Donald Trump’s choice of J.D. Vance is a signal that there will not be a substantial change in tone or trajectory from the Trump campaign after the shooting of this past weekend.
.@vcardenasDC: Senator Vance had one of the most combative reactions to the violence, without any consideration of inflaming even more political violence.
.@vcardenasDC: Vance’s reaction fits into his pattern from the last several years, as he has been a leading messenger of the dangerous white nationalist conspiracy rhetoric that inspired multiple deadly domestic terrorists in Pittsburgh, El Paso, Buffalo and elsewhere.

Ahead of tonight's #GOPDebate, advocates and experts raise concerns about the dangers of normalizing rhetoric associated with the great replacement conspiracy theory, like describing migrants and asylum seekers as an “invasion.” bit.ly/3RCMJ1Q
Image
"The media has an obligation not only to avoid normalizing this dangerous rhetoric, but to actively call it out for what it is: anti-immigrant, antisemitic, and racist lies that have fueled a cycle of extremist violence." @amyspitalnick @theJCPA
@amyspitalnick @theJCPA “Rhetoric that is linked to real-world acts of violence like ‘invasion’ and ‘replacement’ has no place in the public debate about immigration and the border. We can disagree on how to approach the challenges we face, but words matter." @vcardenasDC

Why @POTUS approach to “downplay or defuse” on immigration is wrong for the U.S. economy and his 2024 re-election: bit.ly/3mKtuWy
"Creating a modern immigration system that works for America and the American economy is a strength to be embraced, not an issue to ‘downplay or defuse’." - @douglasrivlin
"Getting the economy right, combating inflation, progressing in the fight against climate change, and staffing the care economy are all political and policy priorities for President Biden and Democrats." - @douglasrivlin
