The FBI is focused on immigration. The Department of HOMELAND SECURITY is wearing masks chasing roofers and abuela's around cities. No one is focused on actual terror. These crimes aren't being committed by undocumented immigrants no matter how much the Republican Doormat Congress and Trump say it.
Murphy: "This isn't shocking, bc over last year, Trump has been engaged in a dizzying campaign to increase violence in this country. He's restoring gun rights to felons, eliminated the WH office of gun violence prevention & stopped funding mental health grants & community anti-gun violence grants"

Donald Trump is building a $300 million luxury ballroom and sending $40 BILLION to Argentina.
But when the cost of groceries, health care, utilities — just about everything — is skyrocketing, America's seniors only get another $56 a month.
That's not enough in Trump's economy.

Hasan: The great irony is of course that Donald Trump is the son of an immigrant. The grandson of an immigrant and married to an immigrant. In fact two of his three wives were immigrants, proving yet again that immigrants will do the jobs that even Americans are not willing to do.
