Iran

Castro (D-TX-20) 05/11/2023: Twitter thread – “🧵Today, House Republicans passed their extreme border bill – a cruel and counterproductive piece of legislation that would divert resources away from the border while bringing back the worst immigration policies of the Trump administration. 1/5 Their bill (H.R. 2) would severely restrict asylum at the border and abandon asylum-seekers to the cartels. If it became law, Ukrainians fleeing from Putin's invasion, Uyghurs escaping genocide in China, and Christians fleeing Iran would all be turned away. 2/5 Link to video H.R. 2 would also end legal protections for tens of thousands of Afghan families who have started new lives in the United States. These folks fought side-by-side with our troops and risked their lives for us. Republicans just voted to send them back to die. 3/5 Link to video H.R. 2 does nothing to address the root causes of migration and would not fix our broken immigration system. With fewer legal pathways, more asylum-seekers would rely on the same kind of smugglers who left 53 people to die in a tractor-trailer in San Antonio last summer. 4/5 100 years ago, my grandmother came to the US from Mexico as a 6- or 7-year old orphan. Together, tens of millions of people who came during the same period helped make America a global superpower. America needs immigrants – not the naked cruelty and partisanship in H.R. 2. 5/5”
