The disgusting way Republicans are whipping up sentiment against immigrants
Excellent CNN debunk of wildly misleading immigrant crime numbers GOP put out on Friday, which made it hard for mainstream journalists to report but easy for right wing outlets and Trump to parrot. How the game is played these days. https://t.co/G5hH2wSP5W

During Trump's presidency, hundreds of thousands of migrants were released into the US interior, per @David_J_Bier calculations. It's incredible that this fact is absent from our whole discourse on immigration. There is no serious scrutiny of Trump's claims about his own record. https://t.co/bbBV48VO2c

Vastly important. Trump camp &all its influencers shared these fake numbers for days about migrant murderers 'released into US' under Biden. Totally fake. The numbers go back to ALL previous admins and includes people currently in prison. Totally bogus. https://t.co/zGfLXINOVz
