Mr. President, the country I “come from,” & the country we all swear to, is the United States.
But given how you’ve destroyed our border with inhumane camps, all at a benefit to you & the corps who profit off them, you are absolutely right about the corruption laid at your feet.
The GOP’s grand plan to “Make America Great Again” is to hurt children, immigrants, refugees into thinking America isn’t great - that it’s cruel & inhumane - so people don’t come at all.
But America isn’t America at all without immigrants.
To turn them away is Un-American.
@ewarren@CBP We are always concentrating on the people down there, but it's the system and the White House that supports this kind of behaviour! #SayNoToRacism#aocforpresident
@William23313523 @keithbohanna@GretaThunberg@AOC There's only one red in the world and this red successfully elected our current president! Oh wait, there's another, Trump is just crossing the borders of!
@MSNBC @mPinoe is the true symbol of our soccer! And a real inspiration for everyone trying to change the system! Thank you @AOC for your part in this story!! #Pride2019
The history of Citizenship in the US is deeply woven with the history of racism. It has been used as the legal enforcer of racism for most of US history.
Citizenship affords power, & that’s why citizenship of African Americans was long denied too - to both slaves & descendants.
