Important talking-points to remember on immigrants

Remember:

—Immigrants commit crime at far lower rates than average Americans. Why? To stay hidden.

—Experts say without immigrants, the U.S. economy would collapse tomorrow.

—Instead of blaming immigrants, blame companies like Trump for hiring them at slave wages.

—Instead of blaming immigrants, blame companies like Trump for shipping American jobs to China.

—Obama never separated children from parents, nor did he have overcrowding and inhumane conditions.

—Obama deported more immigrants due to being in office for 8 years compared to Trump’s 3 years. Humane deportation is different than Trump’s fascist raids. Currently, Trump is deporting immigrants that served in Iraq and were promised citizenship.

—Trump’s mother and wife immigrated to the United States. The hypocrisy is astounding.

—Immigrants are always the first to be targeted for political gain in fascist governments. Who is next?

—Seeking asylum is not a crime. Try to be empathetic. America has always welcomed asylum seekers. But now Trump has cut off aid to those countries and is making the issue worse for political gain.

—Instead of the Statue of Liberty, Trump is betting most of us want his wall to be the new American symbol. We must prove him wrong in 2020. America has always been a melting-pot.

—A tax-cut for the rich and booming stock-market isn’t worth the moral abomination that is Donald J. Trump. Besides, Republican economies always lead us to an inevitable recession (ie: Reagan & Bush).

—Trump lost by 3 million votes and only won the swing states by 1%. He is beatable in 2020. Without James Comey and Russia, Trump wouldn’t have won in the first place. Let’s stay focused on winning the Electoral College. Trump only won the swing states by 1%! We can beat him in 2020 if we stick together 💙💙💙💙
