Follow this thread for updates.

#WeAreHome
Senator @ChrisVanHollen: "TPS recipients are people who are inside the United States legally- many for decades. They're our neighbors, friends, small business owners." #WeAreHome #TPS #SECUREAct
.@SenatorCardin: "The #SECUREAct will ensure that we keep families together. It will ensure predictability... Providing longterm status and protection for #TPS is part of the Biden strategy. Congress needs to be a partner in putting it into law." #WeAreHome
Crista Ramos: "I'm the daughter of a TPS recipient... I'm currently a junior in high school and I'm thinking about my future, and the future of my family too. I cannot imagine living without my mom."
Juan Pablo: "I've been living in this country for 20 years. I have a son who is 14 years old and a daughter who is 14 months... We really want green cards to get better opportunities."

As the right wing howls about “a border crisis” and “the Biden Effect,” some in the mainstream media seem to be following suit
bit.ly/3tHgMH8 Image
"We get it. The Trumpy right wing is praying for chaos under Biden and desperate to avoid a media narrative that blames Trump for the chaos. What we don’t get is why some in the mainstream media are running with this narrative." - @FrankSharry
"There have been upticks and downticks of border arrivals for decades. Some of it has to do with push factors in countries of origin, and some of it has to do with U.S. policies." - @FrankSharry

Earlier today, Senator @ChrisVanHollen & Senator @SenatorCardin announced the reintroduction of the Safe Environment from Countries Under Repression and in Emergency (SECURE) Act, which will give TPS holders a path to permanent residency & citizenship bit.ly/2MLA5i2 Image
"Over the past four years, hundreds of thousands of families have lived in fear as the former administration worked overtime to terminate TPS — the only protections standing between these long time American residents and deportation." - @douglasrivlin
"Instead of separating hardworking families, the SECURE Act would provide permanent protections for our friends and neighbors." - @douglasrivlin

JUST IN: Our new report “G.O.P. Ad Wars in 2020: Divisive, Anti-immigrant and Racist” analyzes thousands of 2020 campaign ads aired by Republicans and Republican-allied groups that attack immigrants, stoke xenophobia and inflame racism
bit.ly/3oFLg9E
“Over the last 5 years, Donald Trump blew racist dog-whistles in his speeches & in his campaign ads, while most of his GOP loudly joined the chorus. Our ad tracking found racist, anti-immigrant advertising was present in Republican ads up and down the ballot.” - @ZacharyAMueller
“These divisive messages largely backfired. After a half-century of their potent use, a declining efficacy of the Republicans’ dog-whistle strategy is a profound and positive development.” - @ZacharyAMueller
