This feels true, @DraperRobert: "Somehow Jayapal would have to navigate both sides—agitating and legislating, crossing the border back and forth, somberly aware that when it came to immigration issues, even an easy vote felt to some like a perilous journey, destination unknown."

Bashing candidates 4 being pro-immigrant doesn't work."When Republicans used this playbook last year, the politics of immigration proved not quite what they hoped..[there was] real backlash w/suburban voters, in part b/c it connected to anti-immigrant thrust of Trump’s persona.”

Proud to be in the movement w/my dear friend
@CrisAlexJimenez: “The days are gone for any Democrat to think that saying ‘I stand with immigrants’ is enough. We expect to see them boldly put forward an alternative to the administration’s mass-deportation agenda."Show this threadThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

With
@AnnaGalland &@AijenPoo, we helped rally people everywhere to condemn Trump's outrageous family separations as moral issue. "Until recently, Americans have tended to view immigration less as a moral issue and more in crass economic terms."#FamiliesBelongTogetherShow this threadThanks.

One thing that has become crystal clear to me: Dems will never "out-enforce" this GOP. Trump & cronies want to keep immigration out there as a divisive, wedge issue. They are not interested in fixing it. Their "compromise" is to stop legal immigration, period. It's up to Dems.

You’re willing to stand up for liars like Mzzz Ballsy Ford, and stand up for illegal invaders to our country? You want men to be accused because a liar said so? You then stand against truth, ourConstitution, Laws, and hardworking Americans and those who came here Legally ?

This is such an interesting and thoughtfully written piece. The headline is disappointing - feels like clickbait, and does the article a disservice.

@RepJayapal works harder for immigrants and illegals more than she does for Americans, veterans, and soldiers. She was not voted on by immigrants or illegals but American citizens.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

You claim to represent me.

She doesn't. She represents immigrants and illegals. We, as citizens are inconsequential.
