President Biden seems to have his immigration mojo back.

In the last 3 weeks, the administration has made significant progress in managing the arrivals at the southern border & is back on the front foot on immigration.

"The Biden administration is regaining its footing on immigration. It’s a reminder of why elections matter. It revives hope that we will be able to move forward to build a fair, humane and functional immigration system and enact transformative legislation." - @FrankSharry
"Of course, there is a lot more to do, including lifting Title 42 restrictions, restoring asylum, extending TPS to other nationalities from Africa and Central America, and reforming and reducing our nation’s bloated detention and deportation machinery." - @FrankSharry
"The Biden administration is back on offense. Now is the time to put the pedal to the metal." - @FrankSharry

The Biden Administration is taking more steps to undo and repair some of the most cruel elements of the Trump era immigration. bit.ly/3f5CcIY #WelcomeWithDignity
"The Biden Administration’s decision to stop detaining immigrants at two detention facilities in Massachusetts and Georgia and rescind associated 287(g) agreements is a welcome first step toward undoing Trump’s four year reign of cruelty against immigrants." - @DavidLeopold
"Today’s announcement by Secretary Mayorkas brings hope that in the days & weeks to come the Biden administration will end all 287(g) agreements throughout the U.S. & ensure that ICE & CBP will abide by the highest professional standards & are held accountable." - @DavidLeopold

New blog by @ZacharyAMueller on what to take away from the failed campaigns of nativists Kris Kobach and Lou Barletta and the GOP's embrace of this strategy.

bit.ly/3wk6kpE
"In spite of his repeated losses for statewide office, Kobach will most assuredly not moderate his tone, radical far-right activism, or putting anti-immigrant politics at the forefront of his campaign."
"Barletta represented Pennsylvania 11th Congressional district, where he became a leading Trump cheerleader, before running for Senate with Trump’s endorsement... Pennsylvania voters were not convinced by Barletta’s brand of xenophobia and handed him a massive 13 point loss."

"The public recognizes that our immigration system is deeply dysfunctional and they want their elected representatives to do something about it. They understand the challenges at the border, and want humane and orderly solutions to them." - @FrankSharry
