Last week @POTUS announced he was sending FEMA to the border. Two months after ending the Trump administration’s emergency declaration, he’s now relying on the Federal Emergency Management Agency to fix his mistakes, all while saying “nothing has changed.” https://t.co/8TFNGUa3TF — PolitiTweet.org

In some areas, DHS is releasing illegal aliens without giving them court dates. Many of these migrants will never be seen again, unless they're caught committing a crime within our country—as long as the crime isn't in a so-called "sanctuary" jurisdiction. https://t.co/6lg3pz02kv — PolitiTweet.org

Last year, 1,000 individuals were released from custody into the interior of our country. This year, that number is already over 20,000. And it’s growing every day. — PolitiTweet.org

Tom Cotton @SenTomCotton

The CBP has said that having 4,000 migrants in custody constitutes a “crisis.” There are more than 10,000 migrants in custody now. One facility in Texas is currently operating at over 1,500% capacity. https://t.co/l6gPlOGyoR — PolitiTweet.org

Tom Cotton @SenTomCotton

Illegal immigrants in so-called family units have increased by 350%, and the arrival of unaccompanied aliens claiming to be minors has risen by over 100%, according to the Border Patrol. — PolitiTweet.org

Tom Cotton @SenTomCotton

Last month, human traffickers earned $14 million a day from the Biden Border Crisis. Cartels are profiting while workers, migrants, and American communities are suffering. https://t.co/S8s031XwSu — PolitiTweet.org

Tom Cotton @SenTomCotton

The illegal immigrants at the border are not fleeing persecution, they are economic migrants here for jobs. We should be prioritizing the more than 10 million jobless Americans in our country, not bringing in a flood of additional workers from abroad. — PolitiTweet.org

Tom Cotton @SenTomCotton

In 2020, border crossings dropped by 53%. Since President Biden’s election, the number of illegal aliens crossing the border has surged to over 100,000 a month—a nearly 40 percent increase. https://t.co/wrTnb8jC9O — PolitiTweet.org

Tom Cotton @SenTomCotton

Last night I saw firsthand the consequences of President Biden's failed policies. Smugglers and human traffickers are mocking the American people and our open border. They know they can get in, and they will continue to come. https://t.co/cSpf7cyq7C — PolitiTweet.org

The Biden administration’s approach to the border crisis: arrows to show illegal immigrants the way to the U.S. https://t.co/EmysnQ6wOR — PolitiTweet.org

Tom Cotton @SenTomCotton

Our military shouldn’t recommend or require teachings like Critical Race Theory, which says a person’s race defines them and that America is an oppressive, evil nation. When men and women take the oath to join our military, they should know they’re fighting for a noble nation. https://t.co/ufKgY6t6Ub — PolitiTweet.org

Tom Cotton @SenTomCotton

Despite objections by my colleagues on the committee, Senator Durbin forced a sham roll call vote—both violating the rules and making it clear the Democrats know Gupta’s nomination is on life support. But what goes around comes around @SenatorDurbin. https://t.co/z4pKDQMewo — PolitiTweet.org

Tom Cotton @SenTomCotton

Why? Because Vanita Gupta has said that every single American is racist. She has refused to answer basic questions about her record. She has made personal attacks on the character and integrity of senators & judges that she still refuses to apologize for. She is unfit for office. https://t.co/rDUN9IUbNv — PolitiTweet.org

Tom Cotton @SenTomCotton

Before I could finish convincing my Democratic colleagues to vote against Vanita Gupta, Senator Durbin cut off my remarks and forced her through the Judiciary Committee despite the rules—the Senate equivalent of pulling a fire alarm to escape a test in high school. https://t.co/qiK0D3piAb — PolitiTweet.org

Tom Cotton @SenTomCotton

President Truman desegregated the military in 1948 to ensure “equality of treatment and opportunity for all,” regardless of race. My bill would refocus our military on these noble, American ideals and on its core mission: defeating our enemies. — PolitiTweet.org

Tom Cotton @SenTomCotton

It would forbid the military from hiring “diversity, equity, and inclusion” con artists to teach Critical Race Theory. And it would prohibit the military from segregating the troops on the basis of race under any circumstance. https://t.co/1PtO6r6Db0 — PolitiTweet.org

Tom Cotton @SenTomCotton

My bill would prohibit the military from promoting the racist ideas at the heart of Critical Race Theory in reading lists, training sessions, and other educational settings. https://t.co/MK8yGvolTx — PolitiTweet.org

Tom Cotton @SenTomCotton

Racist ideologies like Critical Race Theory are harmful to the morale of our troops. They teach service members to view one another with suspicion because of their race, and even that the very Constitution they swore to “support and defend” is fundamentally racist. — PolitiTweet.org

Tom Cotton @SenTomCotton

But the military has begun promoting Critical Race Theory to the troops, recommending books by far-left activists like Ibram X. Kendi and Robin DiAngelo. https://t.co/WRZiR5UxfF — PolitiTweet.org

Tom Cotton @SenTomCotton

Critical Race Theory teaches that race is a person’s defining characteristic & that America is an evil, oppressive place. That idea may be fashionable on left-wing college campuses, but it has no place in our military. https://t.co/nKtmoOjAAI — PolitiTweet.org

Tom Cotton @SenTomCotton

Vanita Gupta misled the Judiciary Committee during her hearing & refused to answer our written questions. Now it appears she wasn’t forthcoming with even her initial paperwork. Her nomination shouldn't move forward until she answers for this misconduct. https://t.co/ttKWEVpRmj — PolitiTweet.org

Tom Cotton @SenTomCotton

The Democrats' "For the People Act" isn't for the people, it's designed to entrench the liberal Democrats in power. The American people oppose this bill and we will not let it pass in the U.S. Senate. https://t.co/qrT7ngj6W3 — PolitiTweet.org

Tom Cotton @SenTomCotton

The Democrats are trying to use their tiny majority to lock in permanent changes to our elections so they never relinquish power. There is no amount of time I won't spend on the Senate floor to stop them. https://t.co/vVdzrK4eVL — PolitiTweet.org

Even the President of Mexico says that this crisis is of Joe Biden's making. — PolitiTweet.org

Tom Cotton @SenTomCotton

Senate Democrats from liberal states shouldn't be the ones deciding what happens in Arkansas. I'm proud to join @SenatorBraun's bill to repeal language included in the $1.9 trillion bill that tries to prevent states from cutting taxes. — PolitiTweet.org

Tom Cotton @SenTomCotton

What should we do to reduce gun violence? The solution is simple: we should support our police, enforce our laws, and lock up dangerous criminals. We should not create new, vague laws restricting the rights of law-abiding gun owners. https://t.co/uNMYbiuUzX — PolitiTweet.org

Tom Cotton @SenTomCotton

For Arkansans, agriculture is more than just a business, it's a passion and a way of life. Happy National Agriculture Day to producers across our state! — PolitiTweet.org
