And if you’re done with the fear mongering and sensational headlines, you’ll find some great organizations in the thread below who are helping children and families: — PolitiTweet.org

So go on with your radical right wing theatrics & your scapegoating of the vulnerable and defenseless. Texans will take care of each other & work to help these families & children. Just as we have during the pandemic, just as we did during the winter storm. Without your help. — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

But all the fear mongering in the world won’t make us forget what you’ve done. It was only a month ago that you left dozens to die — kids, veterans, grandparents — because the profits of your energy industry donors were more important than the lives of the people of this state. — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

And it provides a convenient scapegoat when Covid cases spike following your surrender of all public health protections for a state that has seen nearly 50,000 killed by your ineptitude. You’ll just blame it on the immigrants. — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

And then when the Biden administration offered to set up a system to provide COVID-19 testing & quarantine for families released from Border Patrol facilities in Texas, you rejected it. Made it easier for you to continue to stoke fear about immigrants and asylum seekers. — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

You care about immigrants? The day before a white supremacist killed 23 people in El Paso (claiming there was a “Hispanic invasion of Texas”) you mailed a letter urging Republicans to “DEFEND TEXAS NOW” from immigrants & “take matters into our own hands.” — PolitiTweet.org

RT @GinaOrtizJones: SAN ANTONIO With a dangerous rise in anti-Asian hate crimes and racism, we'll come together in solidarity to hear from… — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

My heart goes out to the families who lost loved ones in the Atlanta spa shootings. The increase of violence against the Asian American community & this latest attack remind us that racists & misogynists are armed to kill in America. We don’t have to accept this. It’s up to us. — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

We must change course. Rewrite our immigration laws. Make this hemisphere our #1 foreign policy priority; end the war on drugs; support anti-corruption efforts; & lead in confronting climate change before it’s too late & before more families in the Americas are displaced. 7/7 — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

Our failure to act in the face of the science and consequences of climate change has produced devastating storms and droughts that make it a challenge for many to feed themselves and survive in communities throughout Central America. 6/7 — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

Our involvement in Central America’s civil wars led to death & devastation that is still felt in the region today. And U.S. drug demand & drug war have helped hollow out civil society in these countries, contributing to government corruption & horrific gang violence. 5/7 — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

We will not address the underlying issues that cause so many to come here if we do not work with the people, NGOs & governments of these countries.  That should include working to repair the damage caused in part by U.S. policies and a commitment to change those policies. 4/7 — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

We must also prioritize Mexico & Central America in our foreign policy. This region that we are connected to physically, culturally & through our families is always an afterthought at best in our foreign policy, a priority only when there is perceived crisis. 3/7 — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

Rewrite our immigration laws to reflect the priority of family reunification, the contributions of millions of hardworking Americans who lack documentation and status in this country, & our desire to ensure a safe, legal path to come to this country; 2/7 — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

To address the underlying causes for the current level of immigration & asylum requests at our border AND ensure that we have a fair, predictable and lawful system to process immigration applications and maintain the integrity of our border with Mexico, we must 1/7 — PolitiTweet.org
