President Biden commits to using every available tool - including reconciliation - to deliver path to citizenship bills
bit.ly/2QHXp1J #WeAreHome
"President Biden’s commitment to legalize millions through whatever means available - including through budget reconciliation - significantly increases the chances of achieving a legislative breakthrough this year." - @FrankSharry
"Take it from those who have shed blood for bipartisanship in the past: Republicans will feign bipartisanship, first to slow things down, and second, to justify their opposition to the legislation Democrats move forward." - @FrankSharry

[3/4] 69% of undocumented immigrants are essential workers who need the vaccine for their day to day safety. We should prioritize the health and safety of all, regardless of immigration status.

New piece by @CharlesMBlow on Tucker Carlson promoting the racist, anti-Semitic, patriarchal and conspiratorial “white replacement theory.”

nyti.ms/3uHSE6V
"When Carlson worries about immigrants from the third world, he is talking about Hispanic, Asian and Black people who he worries will outnumber 'current' voters. Current voters, in this formulation, are the white people who make up the majority of the American electorate."
"And tremendous energy is being exerted not only by white supremacists in the general population, but also Republican office holders, to attack immigrants, curtail immigration, disenfranchise Black and brown voters and assail abortion rights."

Bipartisan support for Haiti TPS redesignation grows amid the Biden Administration’s deafening silence
bit.ly/3wI1BPB
"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
"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
