Trump’s crowning achievement on immigration? Making Americans more pro-immigrant bit.ly/2LuffTz
"Trump’s xenophobia never got much traction outside the cul-de-sac of his base, and it backfired badly with the majority of Americans. It seems Trump’s relentless war on immigrants and refugees forced Americans to choose a side." - @FrankSharry
"The majority - a multiracial, multiethnic, multigenerational majority - did just that, coming down on the side of immigrants and refugees and in favor of the idea of America as a welcoming nation." - @FrankSharry
"The wind is at the back of the pro-immigrant movement, the Democratic coalition, and the incoming Biden-Harris administration." - @FrankSharry

Trump’s border visit highlights another big lie fueled by Trump’s GOP enablers that led to violence bit.ly/3btInoF
"It’s a dark and fitting end to the Trump presidency that Trump will visit the failed monument that fueled his political emergence - a wall built on overt racism, dangerous lies and incendiary rhetoric that portrays immigrants as invaders and threats." - @_mariocarrillo_
"Trump’s immigration actions and rhetoric comes with a demonstrated body count." - @_mariocarrillo_

[2/10] Unsurprisingly, team Trump is at it again with a coded racist and xenophobic attack ad against Joe Biden. The ad makes a number of misleading, racist statements.

Immigrant workers must be thanked and included in any #COVID19 recovery package and in America’s rebuilding bit.ly/3mMaB1f
"The COVID-19 crisis in America reminds us that frontline essential workers, many of whom are Latino, persons of color, and immigrants and refugees from across the planet, have borne a disproportionate share of the price in risk, infections and lives." - @douglasrivlin
"It has never been clearer that the health and well-being of any family is dependent on the health and well-being of all families." - @douglasrivlin
Why does Trump’s xenophobia backfire? Because there's an overwhelming support for path to citizenship, new poll finds bit.ly/2G098np
"His [Trump's] campaign has been spending millions attacking Joe Biden for supporting a path to citizenship. His campaign rallies feature racist attacks on refugees, immigrants and people of color. It’s not working. It’s backfiring." - @FrankSharry
"Trump’s relentless reliance on nativism has forced Americans to choose. They have."- @FrankSharry
The Cornyn Con continues: make promises in Texas, do nothing in Washington bit.ly/3j1z3cq#CornynCon
"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
Those who have helped America through their essential work should be recognized as fully American bit.ly/33RijhT
"It has never been clearer that the health and well-being of any family is dependent on the health and well-being of all families. My health and my neighbor’s health and the health and well-being of my entire community are connected." - @douglasrivlin
"Regardless of their immigration status, those who have sacrificed & worked hard during the COVID-19 crisis - shoulder to shoulder with other Americans - deserve to be recognized as the Americans they already are." - @douglasrivlin
