Those who seek to deny undocumented children an education seek to create a permanent underclass of undocumented immigrants who are easy to exploit and who can serve as a permanent foil for their expanding authoritarian goals.

It's an election year, so Republicans are fear mongering against immigrants. Here are 5 of the biggest immigration myths debunked.
“The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater.” --J.R.R. #Tolkien
Wow a top House republican just said from the floor he can’t name one meaningful thing the republican party has done in power. I can’t either!

In 1907, Ellis Island processed 1.7 million arrivals, an average of 4,658 people every single day. At the time, the US population was roughly 87 million people, 26% the size it is today. The per capita equivalent today would be 17,770 people a day and 6.5 million people a year.

This answer is a glimpse into his story that mirrors that of millions of Americans- and he’s fighting for all of them.
The day I became a U.S. citizen was one of the best days of my life. This country gave me and my family incredible opportunities. My story is an American story, and there are so many other immigrants who deserve the same shot that I got.

NHCSL has been advocating before Congress and @WhiteHouse to improve housing conditions for renters and homeowners. We’re very pleased to see @POTUS step up and ask Congress to do its part for our familias.
Congress, it's time to pass my plan to build and renovate 2 million affordable homes – and bring those rents down.
It’s a pleasure to be with my @HispanicCaucus colleagues as we wait for President Biden to deliver the State of the Union. 🇺🇸
CNN projects former Democratic @RepTomSuozzi will win the special election for New York’s 3rd congressional district, formerly held by George Santos.
.@HouseGOP & @SenateGOP today (and every day): 🤡🤡🤡
Top two stories currently on MeidasTouch.com. Very normal political party.
Once again, I ask: why would Democrats agree to anything that gives the GOP what they want in exchange for nothing in return other than an agreement on a bipartisan issue like Ukraine funding? I think this is the biggest reason the talks will likely fail.
The distinction Senate Rs are drawing between border security and immigration policy (i.e., lawful migration pathways) is false. People come between the ports of entry when there are insufficient viable means to go through them. Senate Ds are right. thehill.com/homenews/senat…
For decades Puerto Rico & federal authorities have relied on outdated, limited, & poor-quality data sources to make housing policy impacting 3.2 million U.S. citizens on the island. Today, I led a letter to @HUDgov requesting that they include PR in the American Housing Survey.
Meet our new Executive Director @lachicamayra! Since day one, Mayra hit the ground running to create an unprecedented network to rally around the Biden-Harris agenda. We're grateful to continue to have her leadership, experience, and commitment to this work.

Yup, that’s just who he is.
A Maui resident, Lisa, on @POTUS: "He was so present with so many... he spoke with hundreds of people, and hugged them, and kissed their cheek, and heard what we all had to say." "There haven’t been that many smiles in one place on this island, and it was profoundly touching."

The incredible hypocrisy of justices who accept extravagant gifts denying aid to Americans who are desperate for relief. Just a banner week for this MAGA Supreme Court.
It is very important to note this SCOTUS ruling does NOT remove Biden’s ability to pursue student loan forgiveness. The Biden Admin can use the HEA (Higher Ed Act) - our position from the start - to continue loan forgiveness before payments resume. They should do so ASAP.
BREAKING: the Supreme Court STRIKES DOWN President Biden's student-debt-relief plan by a 6-3 vote. The plan is not authorized by the HEROES Act—the law relied upon by Biden's education secretary.
