Did you know 1 out of every 7 Asian immigrants is undocumented? We must #defendDACA.

I learn something new each day. So horrible what is happening to DACA

We won’t stand for young people being deported to countries they don’t know. We must protect immigrant youth and #defendDAC

For the last 5 years, #DACA has successfully protected 800,000 young people from deportation. #HereToSta

Democratic. That's why kobach targets people with certain names, like Lee, Park, Lu, etc, not just Washington, Morales, Rodriguez, King, etc.

They deserve protection, too, and they need to help each other out with guardianship, etc in case parents are forced to leave.

Purging is part of the master plan to win elections.

Purging, voting day suppression, gerrymandering.

Asians are not as vocal about these issues when compared to other minority groups.

But, the GOP doesn't care - if they purge 1 million Asian voters, some of them will likely have been Republicans, but 3/4 of those registered to a party will be Democrats.

That's higher than I would've imagined.

I proudly stand with DACA and TPS recipients. They can't deport all of them, we all know it, it's just the callousness to terrify them in the hope that they will "self-deport". Horrible people.
