The tragic loss of 62 Muslim worshipers in Afghanistan, where we’ve been for 18 years, underscores why we must accomplish an Afghan peace accord. But it can only be done if it brings together all the major strategic powers that have interest in Afghanistan, as stated below. — PolitiTweet.org

It's an honor to speak with the Granite State Organizing Project here in Manchester, a leading group fighting for social and racial justice, including for immigrants. America is a kind country and these fine New Hampshirites are a wonderful example of compassion in action. https://t.co/pwOGp3V0Ns — PolitiTweet.org

On the border, we must treat migrants humanely. We should implement the National Mass Care Strategy to mobilize FEMA & disaster relief organizations like the Red Cross & National VOAD which have experience in humanitarian aid. ICE & CBP aren't trained for this type of situation. — PolitiTweet.org

Comprehensive immigration reform should include a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants who pay back taxes, pass criminal background checks, prove gainful employment, and pass a basic English language test. And Dreamers deserve immediate relief with permanent status. — PolitiTweet.org

Joe Sestak @JoeSestak

Without immigration, our country would be in a population death spiral like Japan. Critical industries from farming and food processing to home health care rely on immigrant labor. We need them. We should increase guest worker visas as well as visas for skilled STEM workers. — PolitiTweet.org

Joe Sestak @JoeSestak

As the son of an immigrant (now buried at Arlington), I know that the immigrant story is the story of America. Our immigration system may be broken, but it will not be fixed by a wall or mass deportations. We need bipartisan comprehensive immigration reform and we need it soon. — PolitiTweet.org

Joe Sestak @JoeSestak

About to talk to the Granite State Organizing Project about a critical issue: immigration. We must have thoughtful immigration policy and stop scapegoating immigrants. America was built on immigration - and immigrants continue to enrich our great country! — PolitiTweet.org

We need to institute my "Training for a Lifetime" program so that as industries shift — which they inevitably do, through technological innovation and globalization — our workforce is trained and re-trained for the jobs available today. — PolitiTweet.org

Manchester is a manufacturing town. From textiles and clothing to locomotives and fire engines, back in its heyday, to the IT, robotics and medical technology of today, people making things with their hands and their minds have always been at the heart of this great city. — PolitiTweet.org

Setting off from Manchester on my walk across New Hampshire — some thoughts on trade and training. https://t.co/b3ADxHEWH7 — PolitiTweet.org

We must invest accountability by policy makers in ensuring mental health parity law is enforced, while expanding it to Medicaid and Medicare. — PolitiTweet.org

Joe Sestak @JoeSestak

I have visited three facilities and people on my walk who are grappling with the challenge of mental health, especially for young people, our national treasure. — PolitiTweet.org

Joe Sestak @JoeSestak

Teen and young adult suicides have increased 56% from 2007-2017, according to a new CDC report. I fought for the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act. It is not being enforced in over 32 states where these youths need our help. https://t.co/HCUX6Ind8c via @mmfernandez_ — PolitiTweet.org

We need to work with our friends, not kick bruised allies and tell them it’s a wrap as we retreat behind walls. https://t.co/PoBkcvu18j — PolitiTweet.org

Excited to be keeping an eye on the first all-female spacewalk in history! (You can watch it right here.) I love NASA. Keep up the great work as you make history today! https://t.co/p4mxqBJ64V — PolitiTweet.org

Joe Sestak @JoeSestak

Unfortunately, because of how we deal with mental health in this country, Rikers is currently the largest psychiatric hospital in the nation. We have fewer hospital beds for psychiatric care than we had in the 1850s. We must enforce mental health parity! — PolitiTweet.org

Joe Sestak @JoeSestak

At Cheshire, inmates are addressed as "sir" or "ma'am", they (and their families on the outside) are treated with respect, and rehabilitation is a top priority. New York can learn from New Hampshire. — PolitiTweet.org

Joe Sestak @JoeSestak

It can only be good news that New York City has decided to close its notorious Rikers Island prison. As they move toward building 4 smaller replacements, they should look to places like the Cheshire County prison I visited this week on my walk across NH. https://t.co/COxaCRrTj2 — PolitiTweet.org

- Turned down a seven-figure lobbying job ✅ 450 senators and congressmen took lobbying jobs over the past 20 years, their revenues increasing 400% – how can people not lose trust? — PolitiTweet.org

Joe Sestak @JoeSestak

.@mittromney is 100% correct. There must be an investigation into how US policy on Syria and our Kurdish allies shifted so suddenly and disastrously. @realdonaldtrump continues to weaken and embarrass us. We need a President who understands the world. https://t.co/xpPxZJfqRF — PolitiTweet.org

@CChiquelin Thanks for coming to listen! — PolitiTweet.org

Joe Sestak @JoeSestak

I spoke to @Hudson_NHDems about climate change, defense reform and healthcare — what a great group! https://t.co/sQdaBOg2mh — PolitiTweet.org

Over sixty of the teams had never had STEM or robotics education. The first team to march into the hall on the day of the competition was an all-girls Muslim team from Afghanistan. — PolitiTweet.org

Joe Sestak @JoeSestak

Through FIRST Global, I was asked to establish the inaugural international high school robotics Olympics. We had one high school-age team from each of 158 countries (including almost every country on @realdonaldtrump's travel ban list). Over 60% were headed or organized by women. — PolitiTweet.org

Joe Sestak @JoeSestak

I just arrived in beautiful Manchester, the biggest city in New Hampshire and all of northern New England. Among other claims to fame, Manchester is the home to FIRST Global, a non-profit dedicated to STEM education which I was proud to serve as founding President. — PolitiTweet.org

Joe Sestak @JoeSestak

I told @AdamSextonWMUR that the ceasefire announced in Syria by @VP will not stop Turks from going after the Kurds. "There's no doubt in my mind, much like they do other places against the kurds, that there will still be covert operations and continuation of ethnic bloodletting." https://t.co/7M8Fz1OHNJ — PolitiTweet.org

Today is the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty. Thanks to international cooperation and aid, we’ve cut extreme poverty worldwide from 63% right after World War II to 9% today. But so much more must be done to end poverty at home and abroad. https://t.co/xrImWZelgB — PolitiTweet.org
