In the United States today, more than eight million citizens live with at least one family member, often a parent, who is undocumented https://t.co/JRHAfNUcEp
Once again @judym691 shows us the rock star that she is, saying we should not punish children for the sins of their parents, and allow #DACA students the in-state tuition rates they deserve
Thank You!!! #MoLeg
.@SpeakerRyan,
Each day Congress fails to act, Dreamers’ futures hang in the balance.
We can fix this by having a debate on #DACA & voting on a permanent legislative solution for #Dreamers.
All you have to do is support the queen of the hill rule.
Sincerely,
@RepLujanGrisham
Today I signed discharge petition w @RepCurbelo @RepJeffDenham @MarioDB @RepMiaLove @RepDavidValadao @HurdOnTheHill 2 allow 4 multiple solutions 2 our #DREAMers legal limbo. It's been 8 months since the Admin's tragic decision to kill the #DACA program + the House has yet 2 act.
A U.S. surf citizen charts his path. “I've come from being a DREAMer to protecting DREAMers of today—in part because surfing's about dreaming of perfect days while squeezing the best out of windblown sessions.”

While Operation Smoke(yEye)Screen continues, here's what I heard @michelleisawolf say:
1. #Flint still doesn't have clean H2O.
2. #DACA remains vulnerable.
3. POTUS cabinet = depleted
4. Teachers need supplies not guns.
5. Both Dems & GOP need to step up.
6. The media = complicit
Thousands of children cross the U.S. border each year, in search of something their home countries can’t offer: a childhood. Three pediatricians write in the @sacbee_news about why these children deserve a fair day in court: https://t.co/tT3q8vd3qV #ProtectFamilies
Here are some facts on how many families are affected by the snatching of children

Since October, immigration authorities have taken at least 700 children away from their parents. At least one hundred of them are less than 4 years old.
This inhumane practice must end. Call Congress now.

“This is extortion. We were investing in our children K-12 and then when New Jersey Dreamers wanted to apply to college, we turned our backs on them.” #NJ4Dreamers@SenMTeresaRuiz
As a social worker this also betrays my values. Children should be kept with families at all costs. When will this end?

It’s downright cruel to intentionally separate children from their parents as a way to punish immigrants, especially those seeking asylum. This policy betrays our values. We can’t lead the world on issues of human rights if we’re taking babies away from their mothers.
How is taking a child away from his/her family a matter of policy? Children should not have to deal with this sort of trauma

WaPo editorial: "Trump and Sessions propose a breathtaking innovation: wrenching every small child away, as a matter of policy, from his or her family. They have now matched their demagoguery on immigration with malice" https://t.co/cR8iXIyKDm
Bad ass Moms protest DHS Sec Nielsen over policy to separate infants and toddlers from their parents at the border. Thank you, mothers, for representing who we are and standing up to these radicals who want to trash our values! https://t.co/zmwCcM3bgr
