06/07/2022 Tweet - "#ImmigrantHeritageMonth is an opportunity for us to come together and celebrate the immigrants that enrich our nation's history and culture. This month we ought to remember that we are at our best when we are united."
09/21/2021 Tweet - "The images emerging from the border near Del Rio, Texas are horrific. There is no situation in which Border Patrol agents should use physical violence against those seeking refuge and safety in the United States. We must ensure migrants are treated humanely and with dignity."
09/09/2021 Tweet - "Undocumented immigrants have put their lives on the line throughout the pandemic to protect and serve our communities. Providing a pathway to citizenship would ensure they can fully contribute to our economy -- it's long past due. #WeAreHome"
07/22/2021 Tweet - "Our Afghan partners stood by our side and put their lives on the line to help our troops. Passing the ALLIES Act to expedite Special Immigrant Visas for them will save lives and honor our promise to #TakeThemToo."
06/15/2021 Tweet - "On the 9th anniversary of DACA, we celebrate the hundreds of thousands of Dreamers who call America home. Dreamers & TPS recipients are our neighbors, friends, and colleagues. They deserve more than a life of fear & uncertainty. The Senate must pass the #DreamandPromise Act."
04/21/2021 Tweet - "The #NoBanAct will prevent xenophobic acts, like the Trump Administration's Muslim Ban, from ever becoming law again. Our nation was built on freedom from religious persecution. It's time we return to the foundation of our democracy & get the No Ban Act to the President's desk."
03/18/2021 Tweet - "Many of our nation's farmers work tirelessly to put food on our tables, yet they often live in fear of deportation. The Farm Workforce Modernization Act allows farmworkers to earn legal status and improves job opportunities in the agriculture industry."
03/18/2021 Letter to the Hon. Joe Biden, President of the United States - McCarthy Sends Another Letter to President Biden on the Border Crisis
03/18/2021 Tweet - "Dreamers are our neighbors, friends, colleagues, and classmates. They fully contribute to our economy and are vital to what makes this country great. Their #HomeIsHere and the Dream Act will ensure that they can call America home, permanently."
02/02/2021 Tweet - "Immigrants are a critical part of what makes this country great. Today, President Biden is taking executive action to develop humane migration and asylum policies, improve the legal immigration system, and reunite families separated by the Trump Administration."
12/08/2020 Tweet - "10 years ago the House passed the Dream Act to ensure Dreamers can continue to live in the nation they call home. Last year, we expanded it to include TPS & DED. I look forward to the day that these important protections are signed into law."
07/21/2020 Tweet - "The Constitution states the Census must count ALL PEOPLE. The President's memo seeking to exclude undocumented immigrants violates that directive. This is another manifestation of his disdain for our democracy & for our strength as a nation of immigrants. It must not stand."
02/04/2020 Majority Whip Clyburn Responds to State of The Union Address
02/03/2020 Tweet - "The Trump Administration's announced expansion of its travel ban is not about protecting this country; it's about targeting vulnerable people, particularly those from African nations."
01/28/2020 Tweet - "SCOTUS's decision allowing the Trump Administration to carry out its "wealthy only" immigration policy is an affront to our nation's highest ideals. The very essence of the American Dream is that it is open to all, not a select few."
11/12/2019 Tweet - "Today the Supreme Court is considering the #DACA program's future. For 700,000 young people in this country, the outcome will have life-altering consequences. America is their home, and this is where they should stay. #HomeIsHere"
10/02/2019 Tweet - "The United States has always been home for #Dreamers. It's where their friends, families, and lives are. They've built their lives here since they were children and know no other country as home. We must #ProtectTheDream and uphold #DACA. #HomeIsHere"
09/17/2019 Tweet - "The Trump Administration's #PublicCharge rule is just another attempt to strengthen this president's anti-immigrant agenda. This nation's immigrants & its diversity are what have always made America great. We must protect immigrant families against this hateful attack."
09/13/2019 Tweet - "#DACA has helped over 800,000 #Dreamers legally work, go to school, and build successful lives in our country. They are our neighbors, our colleagues, our family, and our friends. If you are a #DACA recipient, please renew your status today"
08/28/2019 Tweet - "This administration's diversion of crucial FEMA disaster relief funds for its anti-immigrant agenda is unlawful and dangerous. The president is putting millions of Americans at risk of harm from hurricanes just so he can harm immigrants."
08/02/2019 Letter to the Hon. Kevin McAleenan, Acting Secretary of Homeland Security - Reps. Pressley, Omar, 42 Members of Congress Urge Transparency from Trump Administration on the Removal of Eritreans
06/25/2019 Tweet - "Tonight, the House passed much-needed emergency funding for humanitarian aid at the border. People deserve food, water, hygiene items, blankets, and medicine. We cannot afford to lose our humanity in the midst of political disagreements. That's not who we are as America."
06/25/2019 Tweet - "The treatment of migrant children at our border is both appalling and inhumane. Children ought to have access to basic needs like toothpaste, showers, and blankets and families should be reunited. Our nation is and must be better than this."
06/04/2019 Tweet - "All immigrants deserve an opportunity to achieve the American Dream. Today, @HouseDemocrats voted to provide a pathway to citizenship for the millions of DACA, TPS, and DED recipients who make this country great. #DreamAndPromiseNow"
