New: Looking to shore up Latino votes in Nevada and Arizona, Biden is on the verge of following up his border executive action with a move focused on providing legal status for long-term undocumented immigrants married to US citizens. W/ @IsaacDovere: https://t.co/23hTS27yHL

@Morgan_J_Talty I live in South Carolina and the Catawba settlement Act was almost as bad. Catawba kids even lost their right to free public schools. Perhaps you all should join forces. Good luck!
