Maybe I haven't been paying enough attention but... in this whole idiotic wall debate... I haven't heard anyone firing back by celebrating immigrants... by championing their side. Not just saying the statistics that we all know are facts about how immigrants are less likely to commit crimes and their numbers are down and there's no damn crisis at all. But celebrating immigration thats what she was doing. We all know it... its a strength... its what makes us proud to be Americans, its part of what makes us diverse... not something to hide from and be scared of. She seemed to be shouting to me about that point. I appreciate her.

of some agencies being closed. She couldn't get laptops (probably from GSA) for her district offices and/or senate office meaning her staff can't process things like mortgage requests and so forth. She talked about how undocumented immigrants going back to their home country are affecting the restaurant industry.

She was awesome. She had the facts, stated the facts and called out the administration for breaking international asylum laws. It's no wonder the rw is trying to trash her; she's a force to be reckoned with and must scare the beejeeburs out of them.
