If Republicans wanted to fix our broken immigration system, they would head to Central America
bit.ly/39OPJRY Image
"The crisis is in Central America. If Republicans really wanted solutions, they would address the source of the crisis. Of course, they have no such interest." - @FrankSharry
"The GOP is a post-policy party, entirely focused on white identity, grievance politics and short-term tactics. Their only half-nods toward policy involve re-upping the failed deterrence-only policies and cruelties of Trump and Stephen Miller." - @FrankSharry
"In contrast, the Biden administration has it right on this by attempting to manage the arrival of kids seeking refuge while working to stabilize Central America." - @FrankSharry
"This, plus long overdue legislative policy reforms to put millions of settled immigrants on pathways to citizenship, are essential if we are to finally fix a broken immigration system that hasn’t been modernized in over 30 years." - @FrankSharry

Bipartisan support for Haiti TPS redesignation grows amid the Biden Administration’s deafening silence
bit.ly/3wI1BPB Image
"There is now bipartisan support in the House & Senate, not to mention the growing voices on the ground calling, no, screaming, for the Biden Administration to redesignate Haiti for TPS. The growing support should be a wakeup call for the President and his team." - @douglasrivlin
"Almost daily, deportation flights are leaving the U.S. bound for Haiti and it is well past time for this Administration to deliver on its promise to the Haitian community already here living in the U.S.." - @douglasrivlin

Family separation was cruel and didn’t work: why Republican whitewashing of Trump’s real border record cannot go unchallenged
bit.ly/3t0xPDm #FamiliesBelongTogether Image
"Family separation is one of the darkest chapters of any modern American presidency. They ripped kids from the arms of their parents, knowing full well that no tracking system was in place, and knowing full well that incalculable trauma would result." - @FrankSharry
"Hundreds of kids remain separated from their families. And now Republicans want us to believe that’s the right policy solution to the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Central America. America is better than revisiting the moral stain of family separation." - @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

🚨 New Report Alert🚨

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

bit.ly/3fbfLm5
"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
