Commit to memory: History says, don’t hope on this side of the grave, but then, once in a lifetime, the longed-for tidal wave of justice rises up and make hope and history rhyme.#DemConvention

America is a nation of immigrants. Each new generation that comes to our country makes us stronger. That became even truer yesterday when Luisana Pérez Fernández, part of our campaign team in Florida, became a U.S. citizen. Thanks for choosing us, Luisana.

Once again, a Black man — Jacob Blake — was shot by the police. In front of his children. It makes me sick. Is this the country we want to be? Needless violence won’t heal us. We need to end the violence — and peacefully come together to demand justice.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg stood for all of us. She was an American hero, a giant of legal doctrine, and a relentless voice in the pursuit of that highest American ideal: Equal Justice Under Law. May her memory be a blessing to all people who cherish our Constitution and its promise.

Van Jones. This was not a normal night. It can’t become a normal night.

Thanks for mentioning me @vp, so here are the facts: 14,000 died from H1N1; we are headed to 400,000 dead in less than a year from COVID. Happy to compare records any time!

545 children. This is outrageous and a stain on our national character. Families belong together. nbcnews.com/politics/immig…

Back on Twitter, left DHS in May and now at AILA. Re: tonight's announcement-Administration gets an "A" 4 opening legal channel to protect Venzuelans fleeing a failing state, but 2 thumbs down for expanding expulsions.

Coming out of Twitter retirement to salute @ThePlumLineGS for his reporting/analysis on immigration, an issue that generates more heat than light. My take: given the sorry state of the status quo, a decent deal is better than no deal. Let's see if Rs get there and the deets work.

Christmas may be coming early! Bipartisan convos on much-needed protection for Dreamers are underway. Lawmakers should keep working and reach a deal without a lump of coal for asylum seekers. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/…

Biden’s immigration announcement grows key legal channels so migrants come with visas not smugglers. Good carrot the admin needs to plant more. The Title 42 stick is big and spiked. Admin should pull it back.

Menendez border plan is a breath of fresh air. Finally a sensible solutions oriented offering from a respected lawmaker. nytimes.com/2023/04/18/us/…

Secs Blinken Department of State & Mayorkas Homeland Security go bold today announcing refugee programs and modernized family reunification policies. The trifecta of meaningful legal pathways for refugees, families & workers serve our nation’s interests and disrupt smugglers’ operations.

At last! A thorough and thoughtful report that moves the border debate from sound bites to solutions. check out American Immigration Council #beyondtheborder

SCOTUS thumps Texas and Louisiana in enforcement priorities case! Right outcome and a big win for the admin supremecourt.gov/opinions/22pdf…

New! Two years ago after thousands of Haitian migrants crossed into Del Rio, CBP data reveals that ZERO Haitian migrants were taken into Border Patrol custody in August. How has this happened? Expanded access to legal pathways—a vital component of Biden admin's border strategy.

Why has parole been so valuable to Republican and Democratic administrations over the past 70 years? Because the world is constantly changing and our restrictive immigration laws are fixed in time. Parole is one of very few tools an executive has to mitigate dysfunction. 12/x
