Good morning Texas! You may recall that on Friday, Greg Abbott decided to no longer allow refugees to resettle in TX. If you live in TX and you’re as pissed as I am, call his office today and let him know how you feel.

Idk the funding issues. I think that before we jump to outrage, let’s slow our roll. If you’re a Texan struggling to make ends meet & the govt is spending on settling refugees, I can see why you’d be angry/frustrated. Kind of a ‘secure your own oxygen mask before helping others’
Understood. Resettled refugees only receive about $1300 to offset rent/utilities costs for 3 mos. (Not a lot by way of assistance.) More so, there's no reason we can't help refugees AND ensure that Texans like you aren't struggling. Taxing Amazon or the uber-rich would do it.

I’m on your side! (Though, not a Texan)... optics-wise I worry about how much the media is blowing this up especially in a state like Texas that my organization is working hard to turn purple by supporting candidates like you! Keep it up!
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
