@VeritasFlame @sandibachom They are in Temporary Protected Status, a lawful status, due to the humanitarian crises in Haiti. Simple info to find on a place called Google, ignored for malevolent reasons or to scare up voters politically.

[David Lopez @PDavidLopez]

@sandibachom This will be like the Arpaio sweeps in Maricopa which resulted in a finding by a Republican judge of one of the largest racial profiling constitutional violations in our nation’s history and a criminal contempt finding against Arpaio who soon thereafter was pardoned by Trump.

@KellySweeneyme @ArtCandee Plus those on TPS are not illegal.

[David Lopez @PDavidLopez]

@ArtCandee Plus with TPS status they are lawfully in the country - a status Trump often purposely and falsely obscures as “illegal.”

@theliamnissan “America; The Series” keeps getting better and better. I stopped watching with Dukakis-Bush because I could not stay awake. Now it’s back! Yes!🇺🇸

@aben18 @elonmusk This is a global humanitarian crisis.Really not sure why Musk believes Venezuelan migrants, if naturalized, the largest group of amnesty seekers, fleeing what they believe to be a failed socialist experiment would not vote Republican like most Cubans.

[David Lopez @PDavidLopez]

@TRUMP_ARMY_ @elonmusk Just bananas! This would be the largest big brother police operation in history, bust up families, businesses, and churches but also so expensive it will bust the economy. https://t.co/zugfMNhqe7

@elonmusk If you care about voter integrity, you should support allowing US citizens in Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, and other territories (colonies) the right to vote in presidential elections and have representation in Congress.

@trouble_man90 Not just Black men, but anyone who cares about the quality of justice in the United States.

@acnewsitics All were horrendous. In Pittsburg, Charlottesville, and El Paso, the killers parroted some the hateful Great Replacement anti-immigrant rhetoric Trump seeks to normalize.

[David Lopez @PDavidLopez]

@Huberton The open borders narrative is political bs, in fact, itself has likely spurred perilous migration. Biden has been Trump lite. Migration to US border has been driven unprecedented post-COVID global displacement, and Mexico’s internal enforcement policies. https://t.co/sw3Io8ylqr

[David Lopez @PDavidLopez]

@elonmusk To hire someone without docs is “illegal” but the present moral panic vilifies the displaced persons fleeing unimaginable horrid conditions but not those “illegals” who exploit them. Instead of punching down, why not provide new pathways to work with full labor law protection?

[David Lopez @PDavidLopez]

@JustVent6 @T25614569 @elonmusk You need to be present in US, regardless of how or where you arrived, to seek asylum which is, of course, legal. However, all applicants are pre-screened with a preliminary credible threat interview and vetted. Thousands are detained or not admitted. https://t.co/xK5ycUComx

@b518mc @harryjsisson Mass deportations promises to be the largest Big Brother program in history costing billions of taxpayer dollars for non-wealth creating surveillance, detention, and policing. Statism run amuck and it will destroy, not only families, but the economy. https://t.co/zugfMNhqe7

@CaptMarkKelly @DemConvention @RubenGallego And if our AZ senators are able to engage Republicans in a serious conversation about immigration policy - not their performative political theater to scare @FoxNews viewers who don’t live in border states - please let’s not forget the deported veterans. https://t.co/yDUER6VVQz

[David Lopez @PDavidLopez]

@ArtCandee As someone from Arizona who had spent much time in border communities, most people in border states are sick of border theater designed to scare Fox viewers. There is a reason why the Governors and Senators of three southern border states are blue. https://t.co/TlcmwnnVw4

[David Lopez @PDavidLopez]

@LaikenJordahl As someone from Arizona who had spent considerable time in border communities, most people in border states are sick of border theater designed to scare Fox viewers. https://t.co/TlcmwnnVw4

[David Lopez @PDavidLopez]

@ArtCandee Whatever the folks in Puerto Rico want.

[David Lopez @PDavidLopez]

@RonFilipkowski Of course, Latinos are far from monolithic but glad she is on board and hope it moves Florida a bit. I doubt it resonated as much with Latinos in AZ, who have seen how bonkers proto-Trumpist Republican policies can be in our daily lives for decades, or in pro-labor Nevada.

[David Lopez @PDavidLopez]

@ReichlinMelnick How can you tell immigration status by looking at someone anyway? This is the same racist BS that drove the El Paso shooter to massacre 23 people, and Arpaio to cost Maricopa taxpayers millions covering for his unconstitutional racial profiling.
