Very grateful to be welcomed by County Commissioner @CarrieBlumert, Councilman James Cooper, and State Senator @Hicks4OK. Enjoyed visiting the community this morning.
Starting the morning by meeting with local leaders in Oklahoma City before being on the ground with communities that have been severely impacted by historic flooding across the state. – at Classen Coffee Co

.@BetoORourke speaking about importance of also speeding up the process of naturalization for more people to become citizens.
SO IMPORTANT. Lots of people overlook how ridiculous our naturalization process is. #BigIdeas @MoveOn

UP NEXT: @BetoORourke
What’s his big idea?
Treating immigrants & refugees humanely, cancel Trump’s immigration polices, no fees for citizenship applications & a pathway to citizenship for the undocumented.
He also said it in Spanish!

2020 Presidential Candidate @BetoORourke is now taking the stage at the MoveOn #BigIdeas Forum. Building an America where everyone can thrive is an enormous task, and we're ready to hear his plan:
Esta mañana estuve con SEIU para seguir luchando por los trabajadores, para las familias, y para que todos seamos tratados con dignidad y respeto.

We just saw the President try to make it harder for transgender Americans to get health care.
As Pride begins — 50 years from Stonewall — we know there is so much progress to celebrate, but so much more to fight for. The work continues, the march goes on, but equality will win.
These new tariffs (just like the ones before them) are really expensive for this country, our workers, our businesses, our economy, our way of life, and our relationships around the world. We must stop them before they stop us.

Look who we met today in San Francisco!
Thanks @BetoORourke for chatting with us about #LGBTQ priorities ahead of the #2020Election!
Thinking of the Virginia Beach community, the families forever changed, the lives cut short by gun violence and the inaction in this country to prevent it. I want to work with you to meet this crisis with the urgency it demands and finally end this epidemic.

"O'Rourke was back in Texas and immigration was his focus. He heard from immigration attorneys, activists, and DACA recipients. His new plan includes a path to citizenship for 11 million people, ends work on the border wall, rescinds travel bans, and reunites separated families."
Texas imported $107 billion in goods form Mexico last year.
Our farmers, manufacturers, businesses sent $110 billion in goods to Mexico.
If we don’t stop these new tariffs, the tax on Texas alone would be $27 billion.
But no state would be spared.
"Beto O’Rourke’s broad immigration plan would have a direct positive effect on hundreds of people who call New Hampshire home."
Here's how:
We need the facts, the truth, full accountability, and real justice for what happened to our country in 2016. We need to do the right thing for our democracy and we need to do it now. Congress should begin impeachment proceedings.
"O'Rourke would end the separation of immigrant families at the border, remove federal immigration courts from their current jurisdiction under the Justice Department and stop all funding for private, for-profit prison operators. He also addresses DACA."
Instead of locking up kids & families who are seeking asylum, we can connect them with case managers through the Family Case Management Program. It'll do a better job helping them follow our laws and it costs a tenth of the price.
That's part of our plan: http://BetoOrourke.com/immigration/
Just more manufactured chaos and confusion from this president. Don’t need more tariffs or more reckless policies. We need immigration laws that match our values and we need a president who understands the border.
"Presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke met with immigration attorneys, Dreamers, and other Dallas community members to highlight his new immigration reform plan."
