Good day for democracy. Thank you to the activists and advocates across the country who fought for every single one of us to be counted—and kept the pressure on until we got this done. — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

We need oversight. We need accountability. I would upgrade and increase staffing in the asylum system, end family separation, only require detention for someone who poses a danger to our communities, & implement a Family Case Management System. More here: https://t.co/1QH2GoTU21 — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

A year ago, I was inside this very Border Patrol Processing Center. There were kids behind cyclone fencing who were sleeping on concrete floors under tin foil blankets. The conditions have gotten even more inhumane and more cruel since. We must fix the entire system. — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

This is being done in our name, and it’s on all of us to stop it. — PolitiTweet.org

55 years ago, the Civil Rights Act was enacted—a testament not to politicians but to people. Those who marched & put their lives on the line not just to change the law but to change the character of this country. We will continue the fight for full civil rights, justice & equity. — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

We must fully honor our veterans by investing in them at home and ending the wars abroad. Here’s our plan to make it happen: https://t.co/0TnVtcRQmg https://t.co/ojRYHrhuWE — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

No one putting their life on the line for our country overseas should have to live in fear of their families being deported back home. This president is a disgrace to their service. https://t.co/XZS8iC7AUM — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

This language does not just offend us. It makes possible the inhumane conditions of border patrol facilities, the death of at least seven children in our care, and the hatred directed toward immigrants every single day. There must be accountability and justice. — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

Fuimos a Homestead, Southwest Key y Clint. Seguiremos presionando hasta que cambien estas medidas tan inhumanas del presidente Trump. https://t.co/gkwQjDBwPr — PolitiTweet.org

"O'Rourke visited Mexico and listened to tearful immigrants say they fled Central American violence and turmoil to seek asylum in the U.S., but were turned away at the border. Later, O'Rourke staged a rally outside the U.S. Border Patrol facility in Clint" https://t.co/6kb7u5bj4V — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

This is a campaign powered not by PACs, but by people. I am so grateful to everyone who has become a part of our movement; and I hope you chip in one more time before our deadline tonight to show the strength of our people powered campaign. https://t.co/O97QUZeh70 — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

We must end the Remain in Mexico policy, end metering, end family separation, and end the detention of those who pose absolutely no threat. But we must go far beyond that and fix the entire system. Earlier this year, I wrote a plan to accomplish this: https://t.co/1QH2GoTU21 — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

The wealthiest, the most powerful country on the face of the planet is turning these families away from a land comprised of refugees and asylum seekers the world over. This can't be us. This can't be America. But right now, it's America and it's on all of us to make this right. — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

In addition to this administration's inhumane policies, they overturned asylum protections for domestic abuse survivors. That means this mother and her three children are forced to wait for months to even begin the process of petitioning for asylum and having their case heard. — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

Another mom I met was a victim of domestic violence. She showed me the injuries that she & her 3 children sustained back home. When she made it our border, she was told to wait in Mexico. She kept telling me how afraid she was but that she just wants to make it okay for her kids. — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

So he walked much of the 2,000 mile journey with his son on his shoulders. He lost his shoes along the way. Another person traveling with him fell ill and died on the journey -- one of the thousands of asylum seekers to die while trying to come to the U.S. to escape violence. — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

Spoke with a father from El Salvador who was at work when gang members showed up and demanded he give them ransom or else they'd kill his young son. He went to the police but they responded by telling him it was best for his family to leave because they couldn’t protect him. — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

Met a 19-year-old who was separated from her family when they traveled to the border seeking refuge from El Salvador. She has already been waiting in Juárez for 3 months but her court date isn't for another. She has no legal help and doesn't know if she'll see her siblings again. — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

She had a business in Honduras, a home, and a school her daughter liked. She didn't want to leave -- she had to. She made the decision that I would make it if I were in the same situation with Molly, to come here and seek safety. I think it's what any parent would do. — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

I spoke with a mom who faced violence, kidnapping, and threats to her 10-year-old's life in Honduras. They traveled atop, not inside of, a train known as La Bestia and fell off on the journey. They've been in Juárez 4 months and don't have their U.S. court appointment until Sept. — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

I walked across the Paso del Norte bridge and into Mexico this morning to meet with kids and families who came to our country seeking asylum but who have been turned back by this administration's unlawful and inhumane policies. This is who we are keeping out: https://t.co/ZZPQOFvTYV — PolitiTweet.org
