FACT CHECK: @SenRonJohnson (R-WI) picked up the mantle of Republican disinformation about the border yesterday at a hearing on migrant children.
bit.ly/3ya7wxF Image
"The ‘Biden Border Crisis’ narrative is losing steam, even in Foxlandia, so Republican lawmakers are resorting to making stuff up and misrepresenting the data." - @douglasrivlin
"It is clear they are not actually interested in border management, protecting unaccompanied minors seeking refuge or genuinely working in a bipartisan manner to craft the meaningful immigration reform the American people want." - @douglasrivlin
"It looks increasingly like Democrats are on their own to deliver on modernizing our immigration system as Republicans spend their time showboating at hearings or literally showboating in photo-ops in armed patrol boats on the border." - @douglasrivlin

It’s been a week of positive momentum for immigration and the goal of citizenship for millions of Dreamers, TPS holders, farm workers, and other essential immigrant workers. Democrats are leaning in to deliver on popular immigration reform measures

"The writing is on the wall that Republicans won’t get to ‘yes,’ so Democrats are readying to use their majority to deliver on long-overdue reforms." - @douglasrivlin
"Thankfully, this week demonstrated that the Biden White House and congressional Democrats are feeling confident and sure-footed as the debate centers on citizenship - an overwhelmingly popular position with the American public and Latino voters in particular." - @douglasrivlin

The GOP’s post-truth political strategy is about seizing power, not solving problems
bit.ly/33DskiV
"The Republican Party is tripping over itself to stay in Donald Trump’s good graces. They have effectively sided with the insurrectionists who stormed the Capitol by taking up the Big Lie as a governing strategy, sacrificing the truth." - @FrankSharry
"The post-truth politics of today’s Republican Party impedes the important and timely work on the real problems we face as a nation." - @FrankSharry

Today’s essential workers hearing kicks off next stage in immigration debate focused on delivering citizenship for millions
bit.ly/2R5sb5r
"Immigrant workers are essential workers and it’s time our country values their work, sacrifices, and contributions by providing a path to citizenship. We cannot continue to simultaneously treat essential workers as both essential and deportable." - @douglasrivlin #WeAreHome

Yesterday, the Arizona House of Representatives passed legislation to place a referendum on the 2022 ballot that would make undocumented students eligible for in-state tuition rates at state universities. Arizona is shifting from red to purple to blue. bit.ly/33Gnb9H
"The battle between hope and fear is on display in Arizona."- @FrankSharry
"Young activists are hoping and fighting for a chance to attend college so they can contribute to the dynamism of their home state. Meanwhile, GOP politicians are stirring fear of ‘the other’ in hopes of clinging to power." - @FrankSharry

A few weeks ago, Republicans were talking incessantly about the “Biden border crisis.” So now that the border is getting under control, will they change their tune? Of course not. Here are how thought leaders are sizing up the situation: bit.ly/3o6omZO Image
"The ‘border crisis’ narrative was always overblown. 25,000 kids fleeing violence in Central America and seeking safety in a nation that describes itself as a beacon of hope is not a crisis." - @FrankSharry
"Stephen Miller and his cronies set up the narrative. The right-wing media ecosystem pumped it up. And the too many in the mainstream media fell for it." - @FrankSharry
