The reason your abuela was “legal” was likely bc there was effectively no “illegal” US immigration when she came, except for the Chinese. The US’ first imm law was the Chinese Exclusion Act, & explicit racism was allowed as legal grounds for US immigration laws until *1952.* — PolitiTweet.org

“⁦I know so many people who feel hopeless, and they ask me, “What should I do?” And I say: “Act.” It was such an honor to share this conversation with you, ⁦@GretaThunberg⁩. Thank you for being one of the leading voices on climate action today. https://t.co/ke1pzaO8pf — PolitiTweet.org

Reminder that these camps are run **at a profit** and financed by private equity groups, many of whom lobby politicians to imprison more people. Wall Street has made human rights abuse an incentivized, for-profit venture. — PolitiTweet.org

Pretty awful that the right would make a joke of visiting a child CBP camp - but fitting, given that they don’t seem to care one shred about other people’s lives. PS That watch belonged to my dad. It was the last & only possession he left me. I wear it to mark important moments. — PolitiTweet.org

Gotta love the rich irony of people who fondly recount stories of how their family’s last names were changed on Ellis Island after their relatives snuck onto a boat escaping some horror now taking fervent anti-immigrant stances & branding innocent human beings as “illegal.” — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

One narrative in this country that we need to turn on its head is the lie that immigrants are “takers,” or represent a weight on society. It’s wrong. Immigrants are *makers.* They create+offer opportunity. They aren’t a weight to carry; in fact, they are our nation’s shoulders. — PolitiTweet.org

The emperor has no clothes: the GOP truly has no plan, no agenda, & no positive vision for the future of the United States. We will win if we fight unapologetically for the future of ALL people - incl healthcare, education, labor, human rights, & dignity. https://t.co/gaWTfvumGB — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

It’s worked in recent history, btw - which is why they keep doing it. It got Dems to kill the public option years ago (imagine the last decade w a public option!) I *wish* the party was as bold as GOP accuses. We’d win more, imo. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Yep, amusing how some think GOP calling Dems socialists is a new thing. a) they’ve called us it (at least) since FDR b) GOP has no idea what economic democracy is The whole goal of this attack is to get Dems to back off fighting for the economic rights of working class people. — PolitiTweet.org
