Today, @HouseForeign passed the bipartisan @StateDept Authorization Act — including several of my legislative priorities. Signing this bill into law is important to help rebalance U.S. foreign policy towards diplomacy.

The bill includes my Department of State Student Internship Program Act, legislation to guarantee @StateDept interns are paid. You shouldn’t have to be wealthy and well-connected to pursue a caree in public service and diplomacy. https://t.co/dEKEUzjAon

It has been almost two decades since a @StateDept authorization bill was signed into law. I’m proud to support this bill and thank my colleagues for their contributions.

The bill also includes my Promotion Accessibility Act, which will help ensure that diplomats with disabilities are not passed over for promotion, and an additional measure to support families. I worked on this legislation with my colleague @repdinatitus. https://t.co/XY9H18oUra

We need to end #MPP now. Vulnerable families shouldn’t be forced to live in tent camps at our border for months on end. This policy is inhumane and completely shameful–it is intentional cruelty and a systematic denial of human rights. #RestoreAsylumNow #DontLookAway (2/2)

We're one year into the Trump Admin's Remain in Mexico policy. 2 weeks ago I went to Mexico to see the effects of this cruel policy in real-time. Nearly 60K people are living w/o adequate food, water, and medical care–vulnerable to all forms of unjust violence and abuse. (1/2)

He has severely undercut our nation's reputation around the world as the country that upholds the highest moral standards. I would ask that the President go to Matamoros, take a first-hand look at what he is responsible for, and see the inhumanity for himself. (7/8)

This is an issue that concerns what kind of country we are. It is something I will continue to highlight, push for, and fight for, until this MPP program has ended once and for all and the inhumanity it has generated with it. (8/8) https://t.co/VUG4YBWmGH

For generations, the U.S. has been respected around the world as a beacon of moral clarity and moral rectitude. Unfortunately @realDonaldTrump has fundamentally changed that during his presidency. (6/8)

What I came away with is that the President and this entire Administration are forcing people to live in cruel conditions because of the Remain in Mexico policy—no running water, where young children (some 1, 2, and 3 years old) are living with their parents in squalor. (5/8)

There are times when the river overflows because of heavy rain and they are forced to live and sleep in mud. This is shameful. These are conditions that people legally seeking asylum and refuge in the U.S. should not have to endure. They are human beings. (4/8)

Hundreds, if not thousands, are living in unspeakable and inhumane conditions right on the other side of the border in Matamoros. Seeing those conditions with our own eyes, and walking through the border, horrified us all. (3/8)

We had a chance to meet with attorney advocates who have been working in tent courts—the judicial process for considering asylum seekers the Trump Administration has set up. Suffice to say, the rule of law is not respected. (2/8)

Today, I led a delegation of members from the @HispanicCaucus to Brownsville, TX to look at the effects of the President’s Remain in Mexico policy in Matamoros. I want to thank everyone who came with me to highlight this hugely important issue. This is what we found: (1/8)
