Half of Latino Immigrant Characters on TV Are Portrayed as Criminals

Images affect the way we see ourselves and the way that we are seen. Would it be as easy for so many to criminalize and demonize undocumented people if years of TV and film had been more nuanced? Images matter. This matters. https://t.co/bMF45gbs0Q

Trump doesn’t want to follow the laws

Trump claims to support law and order but doesn’t want to follow the laws when it comes to immigration. Hypocrite.

We cannot allow all of these people to invade our Country. When somebody comes in, we must immediately, with no Judges or Court Cases, bring them back from where they came. Our system is a mockery to good immigration policy and Law and Order. Most children come without parents…

In a pair of tweets sent during his drive (to golf course?), Trump:
-described immigrants as invaders
-suggested stripping them of their legal rights
-said laws were a mockery and must be changed so undocumented immigrants could be deported immediately with no right to a trial

Trump consistently behaves and speaks as though he longs to be a despot, unconstrained by democratic checks, due process, rule of law, or the press. This is a demonstrable fact. Republicans in Congress are complicit in his attacks on democratic institutions and should be ashamed. https://t.co/M6GDCJiIdL

Trump claims immigration laws are 'a mockery,' seeks to deprive migrants of due process by deporting them without trial https://t.co/cLvcyvnljV

Why is @realDonaldTrump just focusing on those who illegally crossed the southern boarder-Brown people and not focusing on the millions who of other races overstay their visas? That is part of illegal immigration!!!!

It is NOT an invasion.

An INVASION is what RUSSIA did via a campaign of CYBERWARFARE in 2016.

You FACILITATED that foreign invasion by repeatedly LYING about it in public statements and PERSECUTING those investigating it.

You now ENCOURAGE a REPEAT INVASION with your inaction. https://t.co/IN8g4TVAiJ

Trump called the media “almost treasonous”

This sounds like a dictator to me. I don’t think much of the “deal”. It doesn’t end the nuclear threat like Trump claims. It was good that he met with Kim – that’s a start.

In an interview by Mike Huckabee, Sarah Huckabee Sanders’s dad, Trump just denounced the failure of media to depict his “deal” with NK as a great triumph as “almost treasonous.” That leaves “enemy of the people” a distant second in the fascist anti-1st Amendment sweepstakes.

Remember when he said not clapping for him was treasonous.

Congress’s failure on immigration reform

Congress’s repeated failures on immigration reform

Each time the bill passed the Senate with a bipartisan 60+ majority & each time the House R majority refused to vote on it even tho it likely had > 218 votes. Worth noting again that 85% of House Rs now hold districts with fewer immigrants than the national average: restoration https://t.co/inJky79kb3

Republican fondness for Putin has doubled

24% of Republicans approve of a man who meddled in our election. That’s disgusting.

Will Kim Jung Un get a bump?
“The percentage of Republicans who say they have a favorable view of Vladimir Putin, the Russian president for whom Mr. Trump has repeatedly expressed fondness, has doubled from 2015 to 2017 to 24%, according to Gallup.” https://t.co/0HbVdBWRup

I am not a big fan of Nancy Pelosi either but she has not murdered people, locked thousands of people up, etc. like Kim has.

According to a new Ipsos/Daily Beast poll, among Republicans:
– 19% have a favorable view of Kim Jong-un
– 17% have a favorable view of Nancy Pelosi https://t.co/3ZOKNsXiYr

The real reason Trump is opposed to immigration

Trump even wants to cut legal immigration. This would extend the time whites are the majority here.

"It's not that they want to fix the immigration system… They want fewer non-white people to come to America. They want America to be whiter. Full stop." @danpfeiffer talks Trump, Bannon, and C+ Santa Monica fascist Stephen Miller's immigration policy.https://t.co/3ZgiAQ83Yf pic.twitter.com/YQT8azW4Gu

For the first time, opposition to cutting immigration (at 67%) is greater than support for cutting it was at any point since 1965 (65%, 1995). https://t.co/IlybMBLZib
