If people want to criticize & talk about “border crisis” photo ops—let’s all remember that trip with former Vice President Pence & the smug Republican Senators (Hawley, Graham, etc) who stood staring at the detained immigrants like they were caged animals. (1of4)
I grew up on the El Paso border. The city has shouldered a lot of the effects of the Trump Admin’s abhorrent anti-immigration efforts to include child separation, the asylum deals they cut & a mass shooting by a domestic terrorist espousing a white supremacy manifesto…(2of4)
The statements by Trump Republicans & DHS fmr officials about the El Paso VP Harris visit show their ineptitude & the maliciousness with which they approach immigration. They allowed Stephen Miller to dictate the policies for years & they went along with it.(3of4)
The GOP Trumpists have done nothing to address the root causes of immigration. They label people risking their lives to come to America as terrorists-a reference the nat’l security community repeatedly refuted-myself included- & as the daughter of immigrants find offensive.(4of4)
