There is no Thanksgiving meal without immigrant farm workers.
Congress must pass immigration reform to give them the legal status and protections they deserve!

Yesterday,

was barred from seeing the inside of a detention center in Texas. This is just the latest example of how Trump is advancing an immigration enforcement agenda that is unaccountable, un-American & increasingly unlawful.
Today the House of Representatives will vote on The COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act that was introduced by Senator

A judge has ordered the Trump administration to help lawyers find the missing parents of migrant kids. Some 700 children remain apart from their families. Here's the breakdown.

Kirstjen Nielsen, on multiple occasions, lied about not separating families and not putting children in cages.
There should be
#NoSoftLanding
for her.
@TheAtlanticFest
, please disinvite Nielsen from your event. She has been responsible for way too much hate.
Immigrant farm workers make our Thanksgiving meal possible.
They deserve more than our thanks. Congress must pass immigration reform to provide them with immigration relief.
#WeFeedYou
Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen may have resigned, but her legacy will always be tied to family separations, which have taken thousands of children away from their parents and left them with powerful psychological consequences.

Immigrant farm workers work 6 days a week for minimum wage to harvest the marigolds that adorn our altars today and help us keep our

Thank you, farm workers!!

While Republicans are staging political theater in Yuma, AZ to echo dangerous "invasion" and "replacement" conspiracy theories about immigrants, immigrant farm workers like Maria are working hard to feed the country.
#WeFeedYou
Maria has been laboring the various crops in California and Arizona for 20+ year. She shared this photo from Yuma AZ where she was packing cauliflower for $14.50/hour. Maria is proud her labor puts food on America's tables.

Farmworkers, nurses, meat packers, truck drivers, grocery workers, janitors, domestic workers, doctors, teachers, first responders.
They are all essential. And many are undocumented.
It's time to thank them with a pathway to citizenship.
#ImmigrantsAreEssential
Immigrant farmworkers plant, harvest and transport the food that ends up on store shelves and in our home.
They’ve earned and deserve more rights and better protections.

@RepBarragan
pointing out the absurdity of Kirstjen Nielsen's claims to the House Homeland Security committee hearing yesterday: "You wanted to separate families, and you wanted to do it with 'compassion'?" Watch:
Americans are now more pro-immigrant than they were 20 years ago.
Our immigration system should reflect that. Retweet if you agree.

Today marks 120 days since the Supreme Court ruled in favor of DACA and Trump STILL hasn't followed the law to fully restore the program.
Meanwhile, thousands of DACA-eligible Dreamers across the country are waiting to apply for the program.

Creating a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants is a VERY popular policy across the United States. This is the year to make this policy proposal a reality.

Stacey Abrams: "This administration chooses to cage children, and tear families apart. Compassionate treatment at the border is not the same as open borders....America is made stronger by the presence of immigrants, not walls."
#SOTU
Farm workers often feel the need to power through on hot days--even if they get dehydrated, nauseous or dizzy. Many feel pressured by supervisors. Plus they need what they earn to make ends meet. Access to shade and paid water breaks are a must to avoid tragedy.

We must provide them with immigration reform.
