THIS ⬇️ is the real problem with #immigration. Simplify and modernize the process for LEGAL immigration and other related issues start to whither away at a rate that a wall can never achieve. #TrumpAddress #OvalOfficeAddress

Just met a woman, a lawful permanent resident from Missouri, who was detained in moldy conditions inside a camp for 6 months. Her husband is a Navy veteran. She’s been in the country for 50 years. What are we even doing. 🤦♂️

Here's a compilation of clips from dozens of videos I've shared over the last year and a half since Stephen Miller ordered ICE to racially profile people on the streets. I intentionally included the "benign" incidents b/c every one degrades our citizenship. Congress, end it!

My quote on Tapper’s show on 10/8. Called it (not that it’s rocket science at this point).

A predictable cycle:
1. President Trump floats amnesty or legalization.
2. Many people freak out. Conservatives say, "I told you so!" and criticize him for once. Moderates say, "Wow, he changing." And the President has 8 hours of positive news.
3. Nothing happens and everybody forgets.
4. It happens again 6 months later
Roughly 6-8 distinct major instances or clusters since 2015.
These include the 2016 “work with them” softening for long-term non-criminals, the formal 2018 White House plan offering a citizenship path for 1.8 million Dreamers, 2019 reiterations of that, 2024 post-election openness to a Dreamer deal, repeated 2025 proposals for farm/hospitality work status or temporary passes, early 2026 comments on possible legal status, and the November 2026 60 Minutes remarks on long-term residents.
He consistently rejects the “amnesty” label and frames them as limited, tax-paying work arrangements or deals tied to enforcement. No precise total exists because many statements overlap and evolve.

For too long regulators and political operatives have used "reputational risk" to pressure banks to cut off certain customers. But overreaches and abuses of power show precisely why #debanking should concern everyone. @MarioHLopez op-ed in @fulcrum_us

I spent two years working with Stephen Miller.
His appointment as White House chief of staff is among the most dangerous personnel decisions in the history of our republic.
I say that without reservation.

When I say that Democrats need to get organized on immigration it’s because Trump remains 100% committed to empowering the architect of the cruelest mass deportation campaign in modern history. This tells the multiracial coalition that chose Dems exactly who Trump is.

About 80% of the increase in ICE arrests since the May 2025 racial profiling order came from people without criminal charges or convictions of any kind.
And miller killed the deal by going behind the president's back. Marc Short (WH Leg Affairs director at the time) was calling Republican House members pushing them to support the deal trump wanted while miller threatened them if they did.

Honestly, it makes a ton of sense that Trump’s former head of DHS *doesn’t know how green cards work.*
Folks, Greg Abbott did this to himself. He begged the tech companies to come to Texas, and he had them bring their H1b employees, most of which are from India. 70 to 80 percent vote democrat.
He pleased big business and got himself voted out.
Did you ever wonder why the US Border Patrol was not mass deporting illegal aliens out of Houston or Dallas wholesale?
His chickens have come home to roost.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
H-1B holders cannot vote; only U.S. citizens can. Indians face long green card waits (often 10+ years) then 5 more for citizenship. ~228k Indian American eligible voters in TX lean Dem, small vs ~700k margin. Latino voter shifts were larger drivers.

Brilliant piece by @CharlesFLehman. The right’s “Bo-Frenchists” would rather have the GOP lose on white nationalist “principle” than have the GOP build a winning coalition that attracts Americans of all ethnicities and faiths. Republicans pander to Bo-Frenchists at their peril.
The nativist right has invented its own way to put its ideological predilections over actually winning.
Me for @compactmag: compactmag.com/article/again…
Uplifting post by @yardin24 w/ @AFPhq. But there is a warning:
'Whether it’s the surge in antisemitism or in anti-immigrant sentiment, old-world thinking threatens to tear the country apart and reduce it to an unexceptional, illiberal regime.'

Disgusting and insane that after Republicans get routed in part because of too many associations with white nationalism, someone who says “America was built by White men, for White men” is going viral as some sort of sage.
America was built by freedom-loving people for freedom-loving people.
There is nothing to be proud of with whiteness or any other skin color.
I am grateful to everyone, regardless of skin color, who is building America right now. Which includes a ton of brilliant nonwhite immigrants without whom we’d be in far, far worse economic shape.
We need pro-freedom politicians who feel and exude actual love for freedom-loving people of all skin colors—and who want more of them. Those politicians would be unstoppable.
America was built by White men, for White men. If it wasn’t for the generosity of White men, you’d be stuck in some middle eastern shithole right now, getting beaten by your petty tyrant husband for having the audacity to read or some other insane barbarian charge.
Yet rather than thanking White men for letting you parasitize our homeland, you denounce the very people who built it and graciously allow you to share in its freedoms, even at their own detriment.
You can call that racist. It doesn’t make you any less a beneficiary of it. And it won’t do you any good when we send you back.

One of few bright spots for the GOP yesterday was Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar.
Earlier this year, @MHowellTweets - @KevinRobertsTX's golden boy at the ruins of @Heritage - called her "the representative of foreigners."

Yesterday, voters in Florida’s 27th Congressional District and across America made their voices heard.
This is a moment of reckoning for our country and for the Republican Party I proudly represent.
For years, I have spoken about what I hear from families in Miami. They want a secure border, but they also want an immigration system that respects the dignity of hardworking people. They want a strong economy and they also need to be able to afford their homes, groceries, and everyday expenses.
These concerns deserve to be heard, and this election reminds us just how important it is to listen.
Following our election-night victory, I spoke about the road ahead and my commitment to bringing the voices of our community to Washington.
I am grateful for the opportunity to continue serving Florida’s 27th District.
Our work is far from over. 🇺🇸

If the GOP doubles down on white nationalism, which the Blaze wants, yesterday is only the beginning of the wipe out and it will be deserved.
DEMOGRAPHICS MATTER
@AuronMacintyre: "We have to have a hard discussion about the fact the literally no ethnic minority overwhelmingly votes Republican. Why import people you know are going to vote against you?"

Nativists push people out of their party and then get mad at them for leaving.

Clip-and-save this editorial.
Freedom conservatism is the path forward. The false prophets of populism misunderstand both the American electorate and how their policy choices affect the everyday life of normal people.
#FreeCon
Voters in swing states approved a lot of conservative ballot measures while voting for anti-Trump candidates.
If Democrats lurch far left on policy, the voters who gave them an enormous victory on Tuesday will be strongly tempted to switch back to the GOP or stay home in future elections.
