The problems here go beyond a lack of resources. Treating others with respect is free. After today I am more determined than ever to ensure that Congress exercise it's oversight responsibilities and to see that America create an immigration system worthy of our values. (5/5) — PolitiTweet.org

While we were visiting, news also broke that thousands of Border Agents were part of a secret Facebook group where members regularly posted offensive, racist, and sexist comments about the migrants in their custody, as well as members of Congress. (4/5) — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Marc Veasey @RepVeasey

Nevertheless, we found children barely older than toddlers in cells; families that had been separated from one another; holding centers that were little more than animal sheds, with chainlink fences and pad-locks used to lock up men, women, and children. (3/5) — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Marc Veasey @RepVeasey

First of all, I know that what we saw, as members of Congress on a scheduled visit planned in advance, must be far from the worst conditions faced by migrants in Border Patrol custody. (2/5) — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Marc Veasey @RepVeasey

Over the past several weeks, we've heard disturbing reports of conditions faced by migrant children in U.S. government custody. Today, my colleagues and I traveled to El Paso, Texas to see for ourselves. What we found was awful. (1/5) https://t.co/nWFAHWpdvl — PolitiTweet.org

I just left the Clint Border Patrol station, along with several of my colleagues. What I found wasn’t good. #DemsAtTheBorder https://t.co/SuRZZKWCqD — PolitiTweet.org

Today I am joining several of my colleagues in inspecting Border Patrol Stations near El Paso where hundreds of children have been held. Cruelty should never be an instrument of our immigration policy. https://t.co/jMAaKgSaZ4 — PolitiTweet.org

Grateful for the opportunity to meet these bright future leaders from my district, part of @CHCI’s R2L NextGen program for High Schoolers. #HereToLead https://t.co/aakmoEsQI9 — PolitiTweet.org

Was happy to welcome Chairwoman @NydiaVelazquez of the @HouseSmallBiz committee to my district today. We had an important conversation on how we can make starting and running a business more accessible to people here in the Metroplex. https://t.co/2muPq0hSvY — PolitiTweet.org

I’m proud to stand with the @noh8campaign and the LGBT community in confronting bigotry. No one should be discriminated against because of who they are. I want every one who is going through that to know they have an ally in me. #NOH8ontheHill #Pride2019 https://t.co/GCRe8YSBco — PolitiTweet.org

Today’s Supreme Court rulings, one positive and negative, underscore the need to ensure our democracy is inclusive and fair for all Americans. Read my full statement below. https://t.co/SEQC3JcSnF — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Marc Veasey @RepVeasey

However the Supreme Court’s decision to allow states to engage in partisan gerrymandering is a blow to every citizen’s right to fair representation. We must hold our state leaders accountable in 2020 to ensure fair drawing of districts in 2021. https://t.co/Zazfkvsn02 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Marc Veasey @RepVeasey

I am glad to see the Supreme Court ruled against the Citizenship Question on the 2020 Census, at least for now. The addition of this question would have had a severe impact on Texas, and on my district in particular. https://t.co/3bmp8OaD45 — PolitiTweet.org

Congrats to the Republicans on a hard fought game. Congrats to my fellow Democrats on a well-deserved win! More than anything thanks to all who support this great charity event! https://t.co/jvgozwKctL — PolitiTweet.org

On June 26th, 2015 marriage equality became the law of the land. Just 4 years later it can be easy to take that for granted – but let’s instead recognize all those who made it possible. #PrideInProgress — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Marc Veasey @RepVeasey

The integrity of our elections is the cornerstone of our democracy. That’s why I’m proud that today the House will pass an appropriations bill which includes my request to provide $600 million in grants to secure local election systems from foreign interference. #ForThePeople https://t.co/LxFQhwW0KY — PolitiTweet.org

Climate change is real – and we need to get creative in addressing it. I’m excited to work with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to fund research and development into new technologies that could make our planet safer and our economy stronger. https://t.co/1HCYbIJwhj — PolitiTweet.org

In 2013, the Supreme Court struck down key sections of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. Today I stood with my colleagues, including @repjohnlewis, in calling for a new Voting Rights Act. Everyone deserves an equal voice in our democracy. #RestoreTheVote https://t.co/NyK3Ozvv4z — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Marc Veasey @RepVeasey

The Voting Rights Act is as important today as it was the day it was signed. But in 2013, the Supreme Court gutted the ability to enforce the Voting Rights Act in #ShelbyCountyVHolder. Now more than ever, we must recommit to defending and using our voting rights. #ForThePeople https://t.co/gA8OBBXorm — PolitiTweet.org
