"The Trump Administration inflicted deep damage to our immigration system -- at home, at the border, and in Central America. While much remains to be done, the Biden Administration is making progress." - @FrankSharry
"As a nation, we are turning the corner, reversing and undoing the cruelty and chaos of the Trump administration, and making progress toward a modern immigration system that is safe, orderly, and humane." - @FrankSharry
"The Biden administration is reunifying families ripped apart by Trump; building out a safe process for resettling unaccompanied kids with family & sponsors; & ending the construction of the stupid border wall & the lawless raids on appropriated funds to fund it." - @FrankSharry
"America wants a pathway to citizenship for millions, a managed border that treats refugees and immigrants humanely, reform and reduction of our bloated enforcement apparatus, and a fair, humane and functional immigration system." - @FrankSharry
"For all the focus on Biden’s first 100 days, we believe it’s the next 100 days that will determine whether the Biden administration succeeds in these tasks." - @FrankSharry

Why President Biden should lean in on immigration bit.ly/3sUPiw4
"For Democrats, the immigration debate is not about numbers anchored in fears. It’s about solutions anchored in values. Step back and you’ll get run over. But lean in and you’ll win." - @FrankSharry
"The multiracial majority that elected Joe Biden strongly supports his vision for an orderly and humane approach that modernizes a broken system. They strongly oppose Republican support for re-upping Trump’s cruelty and chaos." - @FrankSharry
