"The contrast could not be clearer: Democrats are going big to solve problems. Republicans are pulling stunts to score political points." - @FrankSharry on Republicans offering a series of bills for “unanimous consent” to politicize & weaponize immigration bit.ly/3fcJMBJ
"In order to feed their right wing media ecosystem, Republicans will take the Senate floor today to demonize children seeking safety at the border and immigrants settled in America. This is mugging for the camera, not leadership." - @FrankSharry
"Meanwhile, Democrats are passing bills to crush the virus, vaccinate the country, open up the economy and put kids back in school. They are prepared to restore our democracy, address climate change, improve racial equity." - @FrankSharry
"Republicans are a post-policy party that craves red meat. Democrats are a big change party enacting policies the American people crave. No wonder Democrats have won the last two elections." - @FrankSharry

From showboating to gun-boating: GOP senators’ dehumanizing of vulnerable kids takes dangerous new direction bit.ly/3lQH86c
"From showboating to gun-boating, this is disgusting play-acting and a dangerous development from Republican Senators." - @FrankSharry
"Make no mistake, this signals to their diehard base that vulnerable kids seeking protection and other migrants and refugees are threats that should be met with guns." - @FrankSharry
When it comes to fixing a broken immigration system, @POTUS and @VP seek durable policy solutions, Republicans seek cheap political advantage bit.ly/3tOHSeE
"As he has done with COVID, vaccinations, the economy and a host of other issues left to fester due to Trump’s cruelty, chaos and mismanagement, @POTUS is following through on his plan to fix a broken immigration system." - @FrankSharry
"When you cut through the noise & fog of bad beltway frames and bad-faith arguments, the Biden team has a realistic plan and a workable strategy." - @FrankSharry
This new report describes the hardships that Title 42 expulsions create for Haitian migrant families & calls on Biden to stop expelling migrants. @HaitianBridge@UndocuBlack@quixotecenter
"It is cruel to use Title 42 as a loophole for deporting immigrants in general and Black migrants in particular." - Patrice Lawrence of @UndocuBlack
"The entire justification for the Title 42 policy is the claim that the United States lacks the capacity to safely detain people. Yet, the United States is holding people for weeks only to then put them on crowded planes." -Tom Ricker of @quixotecenter
Kids seek safety, Democrats propose solutions and Republicans play politics bit.ly/2QARf3v
"As children throw themselves on the mercy of America and Democrats propose humane and orderly solutions, Republicans are blaming Biden and recommending cruelty." - @FrankSharry
"The policy choices are clear: we should protect kids who are fleeing for their lives rather than sending them back to the violence they fled; and we should work on a regional solution that reduces the need to migrate while taking pressure off the border." - @FrankSharry
The stark policy choice: should America welcome kids fleeing violence or send them back to the violence they fled? bit.ly/3rbYLOE
"When the noise dies down and the fog lifts, the policy choice at the heart of the current border debate is stark: should we protect kids who are fleeing for their lives, or should we send them back to the danger they are fleeing?" - @FrankSharry
"Trump and his GOP followers want to send the kids back to danger. Biden and the Democrats think we should protect these children rather than sending them back into the burning house they escaped." - @FrankSharry
