Did You Know...

The U.S. government is opening more detention centers to house people who are flooding across the border illegally.

Yesterday, Jay Carney’s replacement, Josh Earnest, who has some big lies to fill, scapegoated the border crisis:

White House officials blamed human traffickers for causing the crisis. “So much of what we are seeing on the southern border is the result of a deliberate misinformation campaign that is propagated by criminal syndicates in central America,” said Obama spokesman Josh Earnest.

What is that “misinformation”?

“That misinformation is causing some people who are in a rather desperate situation to risk their lives to come to the US border expecting that they will be able to stay in this country. That is simply not true.”

Expecting to be able to stay in the U.S.? Where would they get that idea?

2yrs ago, #DACA provided a necessary relief to our nation's DREAMers. The #TimeIsNow to #ActOnReform & fix our broken immigration system.

Retweet if you agree that DREAMers are part of the #AmericanStory. #DACA

This immigration bill is the opportunity DREAMers have been waiting for. As C.S. Lewis said, “You are never too old…to dream a new dream.”

"Because of Obama…DREAMers who are American in every way except on paper no longer live under the shadow of deportation." –@NydiaVelazquez

Earnest’s “criminal syndicates in central America” must be really good at hacking Democrats’ Twitter & Facebook accounts.
