Dear @POTUS and Secy @DHSgov Mayorkas,

1/ On this miserable occasion of losing 500,000 American souls, I’d like to suggest we #WelcomeWithDignity the temp-tost, homeless masses huddled against the southern border, yearning to breathe free.

We need them. Now.

#LetThemIn

2/ Also, Big TX for rolling back MPP!

But @POTUS, why continue w/Title 42?

A racist trope invoked by a madman, it was his excuse to seal the border from a disease he didn’t believe in when all he really wanted was to keep out Black and Brown people.

#TestYesButInTheUS

3/ Every delay further risks the lives of vulnerable people stuck in what your own @StateDept deems some of the most dangerous places on Earth: Level 4.

We’re talking families and children whose only crime was to seek safe haven in Trump’s cruel America.

#WelcomeWithDignity

4/ @thcartwright of @WitnessBorder calculates that approx 100M car and foot passengers have crossed the border since Trump hacked T42 to close the border to people in need.

None were tested.

How are they less dangerous than refugees?

#WelcomeWithDignity

Just #LetThemIn

5/ And what of the teachers, lawyers, lab techs, engineers, nurses, preachers, etc. languishing in for-profit prisons all over the nation who’ve been put at risk of COVID-19 SINCE the start of Title 42.

Hypocrisy? Yes! Rescind T42.

500k lost. We need them now.

#FreeThemAll
