"The media has an obligation not only to avoid normalizing this dangerous rhetoric, but to actively call it out for what it is: anti-immigrant, antisemitic, and racist lies that have fueled a cycle of extremist violence." @amyspitalnick @theJCPA
"My state, through direct orders from Texas DPS, is now pushing small children and nursing babies back into the Rio Grande, where deployed razor wire and buoys have already increased the likelihood of drownings." - @_mariocarrillo_
“It is atrocious that yet another family has to mourn their child because of our collective inability to fix our broken immigration system. Our hearts are with her family, and tens of thousands of other families whose pursuit of a better life ends in tragedy." - @vcardenasDC
"Creating a modern immigration system that works for America and the American economy is a strength to be embraced, not an issue to ‘downplay or defuse’." - @douglasrivlin
"America has always been a magnet for immigrants from all over the world throughout our history, not just the last two years, but for hundreds of years. Immigration has made our country what it is today." - @vcardenasDC
"Denouncing white supremacy should not be a difficult task for our elected leaders. Blatantly refusing to do so is a searing indictment of where the Republican Party is at." - @ZacharyAMueller
"Detention of families with children is not a plan, it is a loathsome tactic that won’t modernize our immigration system or help manage people seeking safety through our asylum system." - @douglasrivlin
.@RepRaskin & @OversightDems asked Republicans to sign a bipartisan letter condemning white nationalism in all its forms, including the Great Replacement Theory.
"The GOP’s relentless, scorched earth nativism is a core part of this story - from their ongoing efforts to end asylum & America’s proud commitment as a beacon of liberty to their reliance on white nativist conspiracies, such as ‘invasion’ & ‘replacement theory’." - @vcardenasDC
"We are moving quickly down a very slippery slope. As I’ve said before, the anti-immigrant judicial pipeline has been constructed by a very radical minority in the GOP to literally bypass the will of the majority of the American people." - @DavidLeopold
"The ad depicts violence against elected leaders and should be taken down immediately. It should be denounced by one and all, especially by his fellow Republicans." - @FrankSharry
This is happening at a time when asylum policies and the treatment of Black immigrants are in the news and the U.S. is reportedly considering Temporary Protective Status (TPS) for Cameroon and other nations.
"Every few years, Republicans from purple districts introduce immigration bills that are designed for politics and optics, not as a good faith effort to broker a bipartisan breakthrough." - @vcardenasDC
"Two problems: First, her bill is full of bad ideas based on Republican messaging: like build-the-wall, gut asylum and more border patrol." - @vcardenasDC
"America needs a modern immigration policy that welcomes new immigrants and legalizes undocumented workers." - @douglasrivlin
"Undocumented immigrants strengthen our communities, have risked their lives to keep us safe and fed during the pandemic, and are our friends, family and neighbors. But our outdated and dysfunctional immigration system hasn’t been updated in 35 years." - @FrankSharry
"Conservative media figures and a growing number of Republican elected officials are normalizing and advancing a radical and racist conspiracy theory that has motivated unhinged followers to kill innocent people." - @FrankSharry
