    Next announce that you won’t eat food that immigrants gather for you in back-breaking agricultural work or that they cook in the restaurants you dine in or the meat you eat from meat packing plants where they work. Stop the hypocrisy and stop dehumanizing immigrants.

    Ted Cruz is repeating Russian talking points. Our generation has never seen a greater risk to our democracy and our very republic than we see today. We are witnessing some of the highest elected officials in America become willing tools for a foreign adversary.

    When asked if he thinks Ukraine meddled in the 2016 election, @SenTedCruz said "I do, and I think there's considerable evidence of that." #MTP

    El Paso is not a war zone! We are a vibrant, beautiful binational community and immigrants arriving at our front door are here to legally request asylum. It would be an understatement to say this is unacceptable and deeply offensive.

    Concertina wire is being placed today at El Paso bridges by ⁦@CBP⁩. It’s been done previously in South Texas and California but it’s new here. Officials say it’s to prevent a rush by migrants. El Paso leaders are exploding.

    Dangerous anti-immigrant hate spewed by @TomiLahren, FOX, Trump+enablers puts communities of color & immigrant communities like mine at risk. Last month a killer drove to El Paso to kill Mexicans and immigrants. The racism & indecency of these people is literally killing us.

    Fox host Tomi Lahren suggests that Americans may need to shoot immigrants: "We are going to be armed and ready, because we have to have a means to defend ourselves from — who knows who's coming in?"

    I am so grateful to @BetoORourke who consistently energizes our state, especially our young people. He teaches us over and over the importance of hard work and the difference that a whole lot of heart can make. Thank you, Beto💙

    1. The border has never been more secure 2. Immigration is lower today than it was a decade ago 3. There's better ways to spend that $ 4. Address root causes & work with Central American countries 5. We'll be defined by how we treat the vulnerable Let's choose compassion #NoWall

    As a Biden-Harris national co-chair, I'm thrilled to help President @JoeBiden launch #LatinosConBiden. With Donald Trump calling immigrants "not people," and his hateful rhetoric targeting Hispanic communities, there's so much at stake this November. Stand with us!

    President @JoeBiden just called to thank me for my help and said not running was the best thing for the party and the country. I am so grateful for his service, selflessness and dedication, so happy to have relayed that to him directly and let him know I’m #TeamHarris2024

    Women of color in congress are frequently targeted by misogynistic, xenophobic, ignorant people. I’ve lived it. One of the shameless extremists we work with insulted @JasmineForUS, and @AOC used parliamentary procedure to demand a standard of decorum. There is no “both sides.”

    The #MarchForTruth was organized by hard-working El Paso volunteers and over 50 local organizations. This was 100% fueled BY El Pasoans FOR El Pasoans. And they did an incredible job on very short notice. Please - state and national media - give credit where credit is due.

    President Trump says Beto O’Rourke’s march only had “200 people, 300 people — not too good.” But a reporter on the ground is citing law enforcement saying O'Rourke's crowd is in the thousands. Watch live here, courtesy of @KTSMtv: bit.ly/2GzCMhc x.com/davidsiders/st…

    Infants taken from breastfeeding mothers. Rod Rosenstein, John Bash, other DOJ officials were a "driving force" in family separation. These monsters devastated and damaged an entire generation of children and families. May all of their names be forever linked to this horror.

    THIS is why Donald Trump told Greg Abbott to engage in mid-decade redistricting. Americans are angry that Republicans cut healthcare, blew up the budget and gave the top 1% massive tax cuts. Trump is AFRAID of angry voters, so to avoid them, he’s trying to rig the midterms.
