Earlier this month, Democrats introduced a major legislative proposal to address the root causes of the Central American migrant crisis. We are ready to have a reasonable conversation on comprehensive immigration reform. Is @POTUS interested in solutions? — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Abusing presidential trade powers rather than working on real solutions does not solve the problems driving families to seek refuge in the US and it does not improve our border policies. Let's start with updates to the bipartisan reform package that passed the Senate in 2013. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

We could stem the flow of migrants fleeing violence by maintaining assistance to Central America. Contrary to @POTUS rhetoric, such programs would fund efforts to fight gangs, drug trafficking and corruption - the reason families are leaving their homes. https://t.co/UpdIES0EGp — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Hurting our economy, American consumers and #smallbiz continues to be acceptable damage to @POTUS based on his efforts to keep immigration as a campaign theme rather than really solve the important issues. https://t.co/lWhIUxXNvs — PolitiTweet.org

Great meeting today with Black Ministers Conference of Montgomery County @bmcomc. Excellent conversation on a wide range of the community’s priority issues. Heard loud and clear how we can and must do better on health care, school safety, housing & more. https://t.co/ULTu5QuAkt — PolitiTweet.org

I do hope that Special Counsel Mueller will testify before Congress. As he noted, his report lays out a framework for us to follow and more insight into the report itself would be enlightening for the American people. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

As Special Counsel Mueller stated clearly today, the Constitution lays out Congress' responsibility to respond to both of these issues. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Key from Mueller today & report: (1) Intel officers who were part of the Russian military launched an attack on our political system. Release of info was timed to interfere with our election (2) "if we had confidence @POTUS clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said so" — PolitiTweet.org

On this #MemorialDay I also remember the sacrifice of Baltimore native Sergeant Damion G. Campbell. Sergeant Campbell, 23, was an army medic serving in Afghanistan and was killed in action on August 26, 2005 when a bomb exploded near his vehicle ... — PolitiTweet.org

William Bladen of College Park, Md., was a 19-yr-old paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne, who parachuted into Normandy during the D-Day invasion 75 yrs ago. He once said, “I hope people remember that a lot of men gave their lives for others.” I agree: Freedom isn’t free.#MemorialDay — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

This weekend, I will pray for the families in Maryland and across the United States who have lost loved ones defending our freedom. I will also pray for the safe return of those currently serving. #MemorialDay2019 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

These are freedoms that are too often taken for granted. The values that define our great nation came at the high price of American lives, and we are forever indebted to their service. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

As you prepare for a relaxing weekend with your family, take time to honor the brave men and women in uniform who sacrificed everything for our country. Because of their incredible courage, we are able to speak, write, worship, vote and live the way we choose. #MemorialDay2019 — PolitiTweet.org

Maryland and Virginia's Senate delegations wholeheartedly agree on the need for critical safety reforms and strengthened oversight to ensure that WMATA becomes as safe and efficient as possible. @wmata — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Maintaining a safe and reliable public transit system for the seat of the federal government is a clear national priority. We recognized 10 years ago - as we do now - that providing dedicated funding for WMATA will help keep Metro on track. @timkaine @ChrisVanHollen @MarkWarner https://t.co/oTbP3TWwmy — PolitiTweet.org

It is unconscionable that the President of the United States might actively seek to end run Congress and prioritize arms sales and economic engagement over human rights. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

US arms transfers should be provided only to countries that are demonstrably improving their efforts to protect the human rights and freedoms of their citizens and to promote participation and accountability in governance. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

A majority in Congress has been clear about arms sales to Saudi Arabia at this time. US arms transfers should not be used to commit or facilitate violations of international humanitarian law in conflict zones... https://t.co/fDCYlPBvh8 — PolitiTweet.org

Maryland women and men are standing up to protect the rights of women in our state and across the country. Roe v. Wade should not be overturned. We must allow women the unfettered ability to exercise their rights. #StopTheBans https://t.co/n5KxjfG20c — PolitiTweet.org

Every American deserves the same freedoms, the same opportunities, and the same protections under the law. This legislation is common sense, long overdue, and I hope the Senate will consider it promptly. #EqualityAct https://t.co/G4YDb2atki — PolitiTweet.org
