.@ChrisCoons: "My advice to the American people is to take seriously the fact that Donald Trump's former Secretary of Defense, National Security Advisor, Chief of Staff, and VP have all, in different settings, said that he belongs nowhere near the White House again."
For the past months, we’ve had the pleasure of conducting work permit workshops hosted by @BorderServant for newly arriving asylum seekers eligible for work authorization.
However, to sustain this vital work, @BorderServant needs YOUR support. /1 🧵
It’s clear that we’re doing something right in El Paso if Abbott and Paxton keep threatening our way of life by targeting @AHouseElPaso. We are clear-eyed and steadfast in our solidarity with the poor, the immigrant, & the marginalized regardless of political theater. Punto.

“Leave it up to the states” was how they defended slavery and segregation, too.
When people’s basic rights are violated, the federal government must intervene.
We're scrappy. We're committed. And we're fighting #SB4 with everything we've got. Jorge Dominguez, Esq. is an El Paso native who went to El Dorado High School, @UTEP LSPI & @TTU_Law repping @LasAmericasIAC at the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals. ⛏️✊⚖️
Birthrates are tumbling worldwide, forcing hard choices on societies via @csmonitor. Higher-than-forecast net migration would mean more than 5 million additional workers over the next decade, boosting demand and expanding the U.S. economy by 2%. https://t.co/X1sJiJrMko
El Paso is a city that shows others what the future of Texas will likely look like. Join us and @TexasTribune April 11 at @ttuhscep for a daylong symposium focused on how Texas communities can learn from the Sun City’s successes. RSVP: https://t.co/EJmBsOFXW4
Catholic Bishops, Local Leaders, More Than 150 Organizations Stand In Solidarity With Annunciation House Following Attack from Corrupt Texas Attorney General from @TUSK81 https://t.co/DjNDWc4vqb
This is my truth. #AnnunciationHouse Ruben and the El Paso community have shown me what it means to live the Gospel, what's possible when you trust in the abundance and love of God rather than in the message of scarcity and fear. https://t.co/wZjmmTmfM1 via @NCRonline
The most selfless man I've ever met is at the helm of @AHouseElPaso and we should be outraged about the lies and ridiculous accusations of TX AG
I stand with my #ElPasoCommunity in #LivingTheGospel
Our hearts our full to see the outpouring of support from our neighbors. Our work has always arisen from the generosity of our beloved community here in the borderlands.

Some #Americans would rather live in a bubble and deny this reality as if we can isolate and separate ourselves from what's happening in the global arena.
I know we fancy ourselves exceptional in these here United States, but what we see at the southern border is a global reality. With over 100M people forcibly displaced and on the move worldwide, what we see at our southern border is quite ordinary. 🧵
Had a great convo with @EugeneDaniels2 on Biden’s misguided decision to abandon borderland communities in exchange for foreign wars while people fleeing this same violence attempting to seek protection in the US will be turned away.
Thankful for @BishopSeitz's leadership in El Paso and nationwide. Don't miss his Op-Ed in @elpasotimes on the current proposals being negotiated in the Senate.

@UNHCR recently reported that there are over 110 million people displaced globally. What we’re seeing at the southern border can no longer simply be called “immigration.” It’s actually just one nexus of mass migration on a global scale.
