The presidential debate will take place in a week. I will be fact-checking comments about immigration issues, which will likely dominate the discussion and will be used to scapegoat and not talk about other issues.

This asylum ban in its present form violates the immigration statute, it violates treaties for the protection of refugees that the United States committed itself to and in fact helped draft, it endangers the lives of actual human beings, and it encourages a global degradation 1/2

New DACA data from USCIS: as of 6/30, 8-in-10 DACA recipients are now 31 years old and over. There are fewer than 100,000 DACA recipients 30 and under. 15% of the program is now over the age of 40! The litigation continues; the "DACA kids" get older... uscis.gov/tools/reports-…

At the restaurant where helps out, Li said Mexico stands out as a land of opportunity for Chinese who don’t have relatives in the US to help them settle there. She said she left China partly because of the competitive workplace culture & high home prices. abcnews.go.com/International/…

I recently came across this forthcoming book by Ernesto Castañeda and Carina Cione. Given their work at Center for Latin American & Latino Studies and ImmigrationLab, this promises to be an excellent resource for correcting misinformation spread about immigration in the U.S. 🧵 amazon.com/dp/B0CYR7TV1M/…

Haitian migrants aren’t eating people’s pets, for god’s sake. This is disgusting stuff. I grew up in a community with a 10% Haitian population. They were my classmates and friends; good, honest, hardworking, smart people. Cruz’s remarks smear them all.
