"America’s Voice congratulates all of the hard-working advocates and organizations who fought for this moment and we commend the Biden Administration for taking the important step in designating Burma for TPS." - @douglasrivlin
bit.ly/3rKi7LY
"This designation will give much needed relief to Burmese immigrants who have fled human rights atrocities, genocide, political upheaval, and ongoing instability." - @douglasrivlin
"It gives those already here access to work permits and allows them to continue safely building their lives here in the U.S. and protects them from being deported to a country currently in crisis." - @douglasrivlin
"TPS is a tool that can and should be used in tandem with ongoing economic, diplomatic, and humanitarian aid efforts to stabilize countries where some feel they have no alternatives but to emigrate." - @douglasrivlin
"While we are relieved for the Burmese community, following closely on the heels of the announcement of TPS for Venezuela, we hope that the Biden Administration continues to urgently use TPS as a tool to give protections to immigrants in the U.S." - @douglasrivlin
"With the Dream and Promise Act (HR 6) going to the floor next week, Congress should use this announcement as wind in their sails to stand up and protect DACA recipients, TPS holders and DED holders across the country." - @douglasrivlin

#ICYMI: @Eugene_Robinson of @washingtonpost: "Biden must keep his eye on one guiding star: We are talking about the lives and well-being of children."
bit.ly/3qIdFfA
"What’s wrong with helping kids? Do Republicans really think children seeking safety is the greatest threat to society? Helping children in need is the most basic act of decency." - @FrankSharry
"Democrats must blow past GOP obstruction, division & disinformation and go big, now. It’s time to transition from a Trump administration that stomped on the rule of law, trampled American ideals & spent four years demonizing, detaining and deporting children." - @FrankSharry

Democrats are changing lives, Republicans are stoking fear
bit.ly/3leL3cO
"Democrats are delivering on big things. On immigration, Democrats stand with the strong majority of the public who support citizenship for undocumented immigrants, including the Dreamers, TPS holders and farm workers." - @FrankSharry
"Republicans’ strategy is as ugly as it is obvious. They want the public to ignore their culpability & abdication of duty when it comes to COVID & Capitol insurrectionists & instead ignite fears about a bunch of vulnerable kids with dark skin seeking refuge." - @FrankSharry

House Minority Leader @GOPLeader: Brown child refugees who see America as a beacon of hope constitute a “crisis;” white nationalists who want to tear down our democracy do not
bit.ly/3qEhF0o
"When he’s not defending Dr. Seuss or opposing COVID-19 relief, @GOPLeader is focused on the ‘threat’ of teenagers fleeing for their lives and throwing themselves at the mercy of a nation that once called itself a City on the Hill." - @FrankSharry
"This is what the Republican Party has come to: white nationalists are good, they’re an essential part of our base; non-white refugee children are bad, they’re an existential threat to America." - @FrankSharry

To understand what’s happening with unaccompanied minors, listen to leading observers

"Donald Trump and Stephen Miller ignored our laws, trampled on our ideals, used the pretext of the pandemic to advance a nativist wish list of policies by fiat, and ripped toddlers and teenagers from their parents -- all to send a dehumanizing deterrence message." - @FrankSharry
"Now they and Republicans have the audacity to whitewash their shameful record and to blame the Biden administration for trying to re-inject basic humanity into a system dismantled by Trump." - @FrankSharry

Biden and Democrats go big to change people’s lives while the post-policy GOP goes hard right to rile up white grievance voters
bit.ly/3cjC3yT Image
"On immigration, they [Democrats] are unwinding Trump’s cruelty, keeping promises, working to stand up fair, humane and functional systems, and pressing forward on legislation supported by three quarters of the American people." - @FrankSharry
"Republicans are trying to make the uptick in the arrival of children seeking safety and refuge a ‘crisis’ in hopes of undermining the Biden immigration agenda." - @FrankSharry
