As Trump heads to CPAC and Stephen Miller to Capitol Hill, a reminder of how xenophobia played in Georgia: bit.ly/3kmeOrn
"Republican @RepLizCheney is calling out the Republican Party for becoming ‘the party of white supremacy.’ Meanwhile, CPAC and House Republicans are calling in Donald Trump and Stephen Miller to deepen the party’s embrace of white supremacy." - @FrankSharry
"In Georgia & in states throughout the Sunbelt, political transformation is well underway. The combination of changing demographics, on-the-ground organizing & the rejection of Republican racism & xenophobia are driving voters into the hands of Democrats." - @FrankSharry
"Instead of changing course, working to reclaim suburban voters, and trying to expand their appeal, Republicans seem intent on speaking only to the cul-de-sac of the Trump base and re-emphasizing that white power is the beating heart of the party." - @FrankSharry
"They seem to gloss over the fact that Trump’s demonization of immigrants and refugees backfired badly, helping the Republican Party in the past four years to lose the White House, the Senate and the House. Have it at, Republicans." - @FrankSharry

Ahead of #CPAC2021, our new report underscores how Trump’s racism and xenophobia backfired. Take a look: bit.ly/3q6w3yx
"Donald Trump is reemerging to proclaim his domination of the GOP and to put anti-immigrant bigotry at the heart of the party’s message. We predict this will be as ‘successful’ as his efforts to do so in 2018 and 2020." - @ZacharyAMueller
"The GOP strategy is clear: use racism and xenophobia to divide the nation and distract voters from the multiple crises we face. Trump and his Republicans are not interested in governing, they are interested in regaining power." - @ZacharyAMueller
"It’s time for the nation to move beyond the demonization of immigrants by the GOP and extend citizenship to those who risk their lives on behalf of all Americans." - @FrankSharry#WeAreHome
"During this pandemic, we all have become more aware of the key role immigrants play in helping feed, care for, and protect America. And yet, our government designates these workers as both essential and deportable. This is reprehensible." - @FrankSharry
Leydy Rangel: "For nearly an entire year, farm workers have risked their lives to produce our food in the pandemic... Undocumented farm workers and families like mine face another menace, and that's a lack of status." #WeAreHome
.@SenAlexPadilla: "Dignity, respect, and a pathway to citizenship for essential workers is personal to me and is in the best interest of our nation." #WeAreHome
Senator @JohnCornyn & the GOP need to get aligned with majority of Americans and support Biden’s immigration bill bit.ly/3pR5XiD
"The #CornynCon is back! Fresh from telling a pack of election lies about wanting to legalize Dreamers, @JohnCornyn has once again returned to Washington to obstruct, block & slow down any & all immigration measures, including those to help young immigrants." - @_mariocarrillo_
"Just a few months ago, John Cornyn ran an ad, in Spanish, saying he supported a standalone bill that provided citizenship for Dreamers. But is he a sponsor of that or any immigration bill? Of course not." - @_mariocarrillo_
Happening now! Immigrant youth, directly impacted families, and allies gather at Garfield park to demand Democratic leadership deliver for immigrant families as the economic and health crisis continues well past a year. #WeAreHome#AllOfUs
