There should never be a return to Trump’s vile immigration policies.

great, but pls don't ever try to legislate on immigration again. Stick to your go-to issues and let the experts - starting with Latino and Black members of Congress - deal with immigration reform.
I am on an outrage tour. I’m furious Republicans killed a bipartisan bill that could have helped fix the border and now I’m determined to make sure every voter knows about their hypocrisy.

Nothing like saving asylum by voting in favor of a bill that guts asylum. How does that logic work @maziehirono?

The math ain't working for Rs. I hope @SenSchumer is also trying to figure out how a number of Dems also voting against the bill DOES NOT look good. Don't bring this DOA bill to the floor. The math ain't mathing for any of the parties because it's a BAD BILL.
News — GOP leaders warned at lunch that Republican support for the border package is trending in the *wrong direction* at exactly the worst possible moment. But Thune & others emphasized that the text needs to come out before R’s make a final decision. w/ @bresreports

What do you know acting like Trump on immigration doesn't win applause from Democrats? Smooth move.

Listen to Mr. @RBReich, he knows what he's talking about. To fall for the cheap tricks and lies by Trump and GOP.
It's an election year, so Republicans are fear mongering against immigrants.
Here are 5 of the biggest immigration myths debunked.

What an incredible loss for both the LA Times and all readers. I hope you can continue to write and inform us all... your voice is critical in the political and immigration space.
I’ve been laid off from my job as a columnist for the LA Times today, with 100 of my best colleagues. It’s a dark day. I was the only Latina columnist for the opinion desk. Trump is looming & I’m author of Hatemonger. If you're hiring, I’m at [email protected]

No Democrat is against securing the border. No Democrat should refer to people seeking asylum and safety as people "swarming" the border. @SenFettermanPA should actually learn about what is being negotiated than spouting bullshit. STFU if you don't care to actually do your job.
Sen. John Fetterman, D-Penn., says American dream is threatened by 300,000 illegal immigrants swarming southern border.
'I honestly don’t understand why it’s controversial to say we need a secure border,' the senator told CNN anchor Jake Tapper.

Interesting how their one member of color is not part of this "call".
I was glad to join @SenatorHick, @RepJasonCrow, @RepPettersen and @MikeJohnstonCO this morning to call on Congress to support Colorado’s cities as they grapple with an influx of migrant arrivals statewide.
Together we will get this done.
And thus, will continue to remain politically insignificant, sadly.
Republican @WillHurd: "I haven't voted for Donald Trump before. I haven't voted for Democrats either. That's unlikely to change my opinion going into the future."

Lessons Democrats should learn from their European buddies.
“Analysis, published on Wednesday, shows that centre-left parties promising, for example, to be tough on immigration or public spending are unlikely to attract potential voters on the right, and risk alienating existing progressive supporters.”

Tell me you're trying to blow up the deal and shut down the government without telling me you're trying to blow up the deal and shut down the government:
News: Senate Republicans discussed idea today of conditioning aid for Ukraine on U.S. hitting certain border security metrics after supplemental/immigration policy bill passes. Conservatives pushing for it but negotiators have rejected it, arguing it would cost the bill R votes

It's almost laughable that Kasie Hunt tries to defend the GOP here who have consistently sabotaged any chance of compromise and have proposed the worst immigration policies to date. That's not good faith negotiation. Ms. Cardona nails the GOP hypocrisy.
The @GOP HYPOCRISY on border issue is astounding! They can’t have it both ways- scream “open borders,” forcibly send migrants to Dem cities, point to Dem Mayors as they ask for help, THEN REFUSE THE BIDEN ADMIN’S REQUEST OF BILLIONS towards border security & $$ for cities!

Political theater. And let me remind folks - HR2 is a nonstarter because it's one of the most chaotic, xenophobic, extreme legislation that white Rs have ever submitted in Congress. It's a Stephen Miller - Trump nightmare come to life.
New — As senators struggle to cut a deal on immigration with the WH, growing number of House Rs say this: They won’t accept it unless it resembles their bill, HR 2. Yet HR 2 is a non-starter with Dems, something Schumer reiterated today.
House GOP will demand changes to any deal.
Troy Nehls: “I’m not willing to do too damn much right now to help a Democrat and to help Joe Biden’s approval rating.”

Why, national media, why do you take these non-sensical Party serious on one of the most important issues critical to our economic and social future?
Johnson: Everything they tried to do, The White House has gone to court to stop… Madness is the only word that we can think of to describe this, and we hope it— treason. I don't know.

When Melania seems more compassionate about those seeking freedom and safety in the U.S. and fighting for the American dream of becoming a citizen than the current WH pushing draconian and ineffective policies.
Melania Trump speaks at the National Archives in D.C. at a ceremony for new U.S. citizens:
“My personal experience of traversing the challenges of the immigration process opened my eyes to the harsh realities people face, including you, who try to become U.S. citizens.”

.@GregChenAILA via a press call underscores what negotiators aren't telling the public or other members of Congress: the policies in consideration would create "family separation 2.0"

How @cecmunoz can defend Biden and the Trumpian policies the WH is willing to concede is shameful. She says under Biden, they wouldn't be misused. Lady, what happens if Biden loses? And not to mention, they will already have huge, horrible impacts on immigrants now.
New — The drastic border and asylum restrictions considered by President Biden reflect a seismic political shift on immigration.
It's a shift that would've been unthinkable 3 years ago, when Biden promised to "restore" the asylum system.
