One more time: Criminal activity among undocumented immigrants is lower than native born Americans

Trump’s just trying to stir up fear.

Hmm. @realDonaldTrump and @SecNielsen can lie all they want, but the criminal conviction & arrest rates for immigrants have been well below those of native-born Americans.

They want you to believe otherwise because it benefits them for you to be afraid.https://t.co/4E6LQ6Yx7l

Dear @realDonaldTrump: Some facts.

-There is no big crisis at the border
-Violent crime dropped last year
-Property crime dropped last year
-Studies show immigrants, both documented and undocumented, commit less crimes than native born Americans

Time to stop the #TrumpShutdown https://t.co/f5Dnf9adED

If @RepMoBrooks thinks the @CatoInstitute and all other think tanks data proving that criminal activity among undocumented immigrants is lower than native born Americans, he should actually cite his sources instead of just yelling 'False.' https://t.co/pQ2JR4J3GA

The world is moving on without us

Trump’s isolation is harming our country. Countries are making trade deals without us.

Were Trump’s bone spurs real?

It sounds like a doctor who was a Trump tenant did him a favor.

Sad!

There were literally thousands of journalistic person-hours invested in figuring out exactly how both Bill Clinton and George W. Bush avoided going to Vietnam. I think this is the first article I've ever seen devoted solely to the tale of the bone spurs. https://t.co/4lDB9s0hnW

New: The daughters of a podiatrist in Queens say their father, who rented office space from Fred Trump, helped Donald Trump avoid the draft by saying he had bone spurs. They told the Times that it was done as a favor for Fred Trump. https://t.co/Xv6Q6LYcUk

A new exposé claims Donald Trump’s suspicious medical diagnosis was granted as a "favor" to his dad—so it would keep the man later dubbed Cadet Bone Spurs out of the Vietnam War https://t.co/NVo2cSq7cL

Trump in isolation

scary stuff

There are few things that aggravate the president as much as descriptions of his bad moods (when he has been in bad moods) or him yelling at people (when he has been yelling at people). https://t.co/JB5kBkqtv7

Trump’s phony tax cut

Trump promised a middle-class tax cut before the election. It’s just made up nonsense.

It wasn’t a real thing when Trump announced it. It isn’t a real thing now. It never will be a real thing. Clear? https://t.co/xXtcB1gTX9

More on the Trump administration efforts to bypass appeals courts

Here’s a new example of their shady practices.

1/2 Trump, represented by DOJ in the emoluments case, has taken the very unusual step of asking the 4th Circuit to reverse the trial judge’s decision at a very early stage in the case, where an appeal is not usually available. The standard is very high. https://t.co/tJkdo3R1ZS

This is a cruel, disgracefully irregular, and legally dubious request that no normal SG would ask SCOTUS to grant. So of course this SG asked anyway. https://t.co/tU2ftg6qET
