After the worst targeted massacre against Latinos in modern American history fueled by hatred against immigrants & Mexicans in El Paso,Texas on August 3, 2019, the Texas legislature decided to EXPAND easy access to permitless, unconcealed guns. Truth is, our deaths don’t matter.

Renewing his commitment to ending the robbery of DoD money for an ineffective wall. Families (slowly) being reunited after being ripped apart by the cruelty of the former guy. Increasing the refugee cap. While we've got a lot more work to do, I'm proud of my president.

You can't feign concern about the safety of immigrant children and families while at the same time praising MPP ("return to Mexico") and Title 42 (rapid expulsions) as "solutions." Both aren't just unsafe; they fuel criminal organizations that prey on vulnerable migrants.
My colleagues and I fought to ensure help was included in the #AmericanRescuePlan for families who have lost loved ones to COVID-19. Starting Monday, @FEMAgov will begin taking applications to provide financial assistance for funeral expenses in El Paso and across the country.

The U.S.-Mexico relationship is a critical one. We share a nearly 2,000-mile border and our economies and societies are inextricably intertwined – especially in border communities. Cross-border collaboration and urgent action are needed to tackle this health and economic crisis.
With over 513,000 American and 186,000 Mexican lives lost to COVID-19, both countries must work together to fight this deadly virus and protect the lives, livelihoods, and economies of our border communities – from California to Texas. Let’s take on this challenge, @POTUS!
