We can all agree our immigration system is broken. We should also recognize that comprehensive immigration reform would strengthen U.S. competitiveness, create jobs, and improve our fiscal outlook. More in my remarks at @HouseBudgetDems đş âŹď¸ https://t.co/H0T5l515Jc — PolitiTweet.org

The conditions of shelters and mistreatment of migrants at the border are appalling. I'm horrified by the reports out of Texas. If this doesn't compel every one of my colleagues to address the humanitarian crisis, I don't know what will. https://t.co/bxEr2JIV53 — PolitiTweet.org

Finally, #BlueWaterNavy Veterans will be able to get the full health care benefits they earned through their service. It honors our promise to these veteransâto care for them when they return home by righting a decades-old wrong. https://t.co/ZFkRyEuKm7 — PolitiTweet.org

Four years ago, the Supreme Court made marriage equality the law of the land. In a country as great as ours, everyone should be able to marry who they love. During #PrideMonth, we celebrate these victories and continue the fight for full equality. #PrideinProgress #LoveWins đłď¸âđ — PolitiTweet.org

While we continue to hold the Trump Administration accountable for the crisis they created, this emergency funding will help migrants in a way that honors our American values. My full statement: https://t.co/x44s94sB6B — PolitiTweet.org

It also provides $60 million to reimburse states, local governments, and non-government organizations, which have shouldered the burden of humanitarian assistance, for the cost of care. — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Scott Peters @RepScottPeters
It also blocks the Trump Administrationâs threat to withhold aid from Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador. This aid is essential to address the root causes that force people to flee their homes in the first place. — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Scott Peters @RepScottPeters
It funds support services for unaccompanied children and provides urgently-needed funding for food, shelter, clothing, medical care, and legal assistance to help relieve the horrific over-crowding and help prevent additional deaths. — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Scott Peters @RepScottPeters
Our border policies should reflect our values. The House passed $4.5B in emergency spending to address the humanitarian crisis at the border. It ensures migrants are treated with dignity and aims to address the root causes that drive people to the U.S. in the first place. — PolitiTweet.org

@justinamash And now we are assigned another solemn task by the Constitution and by current events. We need to begin impeachment hearings. — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Scott Peters @RepScottPeters
@justinamash Democrats are leading on the problems facing Americans: health care, ethics in government, comprehensive immigration reform and border security, gun safety, and civil rights. We must continue to pass groundbreaking legislation, as we have, and as we were elected to do. — PolitiTweet.org

@justinamash "Our system of checks and balances relies on each branch jealously guarding its powers and upholding its duties under our Constitution. When loyalty to a political party or to an individual trumps loyalty to the Constitution, the Rule of Lawâthe foundation of libertyâcrumbles.â — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Scott Peters @RepScottPeters
@justinamash is right: âThe risk we face in an environment of extreme partisanship is not that Congress will employ [impeachment] as a remedy too often but rather that Congress will employ it so rarely that it cannot deter misconduct..." — PolitiTweet.org

If we donât act, we send the message that criminal behavior is normal for presidents. Trump will be more emboldened to ignore Congress. And we will increase cynicism among those who depend on us to uphold the law and the Constitution. None of that is acceptable. — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Scott Peters @RepScottPeters
We should never pursue impeachment for political reasons. Nor should we avoid it for political reasons. Itâs Congressâ job to determine whether the president broke the law and acted against the interests of the United States. — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Scott Peters @RepScottPeters
Some argue impeachment poses a political risk for Democrats. They say Republicans will claim Trump was vindicated regardless of the outcome. That gives Americans too little credit. I trust them to discern which of us did our patriotic duty and who played to political cynicism. — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Scott Peters @RepScottPeters
Impeachment is not about the presidentâs character or policies. Itâs about upholding the rule of law and defending the Constitution. Itâs about whether he has broken the law. The Mueller Report contains plenty of evidence that he did. Hearings may produce more such evidence. — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Scott Peters @RepScottPeters
Weâve seen terrible policies from Trump: dangerous foreign policy, tariffs that hurt Americans, reckless tax cuts, cruelty toward asylum-seekers, and attempts to rip health care from millions. I disagree with Trump's policies, but they're for elections, not impeachment. — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Scott Peters @RepScottPeters
Impeachment is not a redo of the election. Voters accepted a lot that I found appalling: mocking the disabled, childish name calling, attacking war heroes and Gold Star families, insulting Muslims and Mexicans. But while this behavior is abhorrent, it is for voters to judge. — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Scott Peters @RepScottPeters
The Constitution provides that the president âshall be removed from Office, on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.â Nobody disputes that felony obstruction of justice is a âhigh crimeâ under the Constitution. — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Scott Peters @RepScottPeters
Mueller himself said he did NOT exonerate the president. He felt he could not prosecute Trump because of a DOJ rule against indicting a sitting president. He made it clear it's up to Congress to take further action. Given the record presented, we are duty-bound to proceed. — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Scott Peters @RepScottPeters
The report also details 10 instances of obstruction of justice by the president, while in office. Over 1,000 former federal prosecutors from both political parties said this evidence is enough to support prosecution and conviction on felony obstruction of justice charges. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Scott Peters @RepScottPeters
The Trump campaign was willing and eager to work with a foreign adversary to interfere in our elections. This is far more significant wrongdoing even than the Watergate break-in and its subsequent cover-up which led to Nixonâs impeachment and resignation. — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Scott Peters @RepScottPeters
Mueller found a ton of corruption: 34 guilty pleas or indictments of individuals and companies. Five of Trumpâs highest-level associates pleaded guilty to serious felonies, including his campaign chairman, personal lawyer, and national security advisor. — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Scott Peters @RepScottPeters
My colleagues and I have supported the work of Special Counsel Muellerâs examination of Russian interference in our elections. I withheld comment on impeachment out of deference to Muellerâs work and his professionalism. But now we have the report, and itâs shocking. — PolitiTweet.org

The right to vote is an essential part of our democracy. Sadly, the #ShelbyVHolder Supreme Court decision weakened voter protections from discrimination, intimidation, and disenfranchisement. We must #RestoretheVote to ensure every American has equal access to the ballot box. — PolitiTweet.org
