I won't stop working until we find the right solution to this crisis. But until we do, I urge every Member of Congress to visit the border and see this situation for themselves — because the decisions we make in Washington affect people's lives down here. 7/7 https://t.co/K6isZWXdjm — PolitiTweet.org

That means we need to make the right investments to help people at the border while maintaining oversight over DHS to ensure resources are used appropriately. It also means making greater investments in Central America to address the factors that have forced so many to flee. 6/7 — PolitiTweet.org

We cannot turn our backs to those fleeing violence and persecution. It's simply not an option. That's not who we are as a country. Instead, we need to identify both effective and humane strategies for addressing this crisis. Those two things are not mutually exclusive. 5/7 — PolitiTweet.org

The truth is, this administration continues to push many policies like MPP that are hurting migrants, endangering asylum seekers and exacerbating the humanitarian crisis. If we want to find a solution, then these cruel and legally questionable practices must end. 4/7 — PolitiTweet.org

We also learned yesterday that @DHSgov will begin implementing MPP (Remain in Mexico) in the RGV region. Metering and MPP have put thousands of migrants and asylum seekers in a perilous and dangerous position on the other side of the border. 3/7 https://t.co/1QPPe7EVRi — PolitiTweet.org

At several @CBP facilities, we saw hundreds of migrants, including kids, being held in overcrowded and unsanitary conditions for prolonged periods. It was gut-wrenching. This is no way for vulnerable people to live, especially when they're in the care of the U.S. government. 2/7 https://t.co/YmVpR5I9vk — PolitiTweet.org

It should not have taken a visit from a Congressional delegation to rectify this. And what would have happened if we hadn't shown up today? This process is broken. — PolitiTweet.org

This week, we lost two more heroes to 9/11-related illnesses. Firefighters Richard Driscoll and Kevin Nolan. My thoughts are with their families, colleagues, and friends. We can’t afford to wait any longer. We need the Senate to #Renew911VCF once and for all. Lives depend on it. — PolitiTweet.org

House Democrats made a promise to raise wages for American workers. Today, we delivered. I’m proud to have voted for the #RaiseTheWage Act, which will gradually increase the federal minimum wage to $15/hour and give up to 33 million Americans a much-deserved raise. https://t.co/zqsLj0H5qf — PolitiTweet.org

Women who work for tips in states with a tipped minimum wage are twice as likely to experience sexual harassment. The #RaiseTheWage Act isn’t just about providing economic security, it’s about eliminating dangerous workplace conditions for millions of women. #OneFairWage — PolitiTweet.org

Yet another example of how this administration has distorted @DHSgov's mission and turned it into a political tool. Instead of allowing @USCIS to address its staggering backlog, leadership is asking career civil servants to enforce Trump's cruel, anti-immigrant agenda. — PolitiTweet.org

There was nothing offensive or even subjective about the Speaker's words. She stated a fact. The President's comments were racist. We will be a better country when every Member of Congress has the courage to call out bigotry regardless of what side of the aisle it comes from. — PolitiTweet.org

This is the longest period in history without an increase in the minimum wage. That's why this week, the House will vote on the #RaisetheWage Act, which will gradually raise the minimum wage to $15 and lift 1.3 million Americans out of poverty. It's time to pass this bill. — PolitiTweet.org
