For the last time: The illegal / legal immigrant distinction is a manufactured crisis designed to mask deeper anxieties about white supremacy and generate support for nativist policies.

“H-1Bs force people into dependence on their employer.” That’s literally how capitalism works for all jobs, join forces and fight to expand the rights of all workers. You’re so close to understanding how the world works and what it will take to build a better society.

H.R. 29 is a dangerous step toward mass detention and deportation, targeting long-settled immigrants for minor infractions. This bill exploits tragedy for political gain, tears apart families, and undermines public safety. Congress must vote NO. theimmigrationhub.org/press/the-lake…

It's gotten ZERO attention but this law authorizes state AGs like Ken Paxton to seek court orders forcing the executive branch to detain and deport specific people, overturn individual humanitarian parole decisions, and most worryingly, cease issuing visas to entire countries.

Dem Senators: Please read the Laken Riley bill. It is not a border bill. It lets Ken Paxton and local state judges guide immigration policy.

Rigid work requirements could restrict access to social insurance programs—without increasing employment—because of the volatility of the low-wage labor market. More from Lauren Bauer, Dr. Chloe N. East she/her @chloeneast.bsky.social, and Olivia Howard: hamiltonproject.org/publication/po…

Earnings and work hours volatility is a defining characteristic of low-wage work, reflecting not the preferences of workers but the nature of the labor market they work in. Lauren Bauer, Dr. Chloe N. East she/her @chloeneast.bsky.social, and Olivia Howard explain: hamiltonproject.org/publication/po…

Work requirements limiting access to safety net programs fail to acknowledge the volatility of the low-wage labor market, write Lauren Bauer, Dr. Chloe N. East she/her @chloeneast.bsky.social, and Olivia Howard. “Gaps in work hours are not necessarily a function of not wanting to work.” hamiltonproject.org/publication/po…

Making programs like SNAP and Medicaid strictly conditional on work does not acknowledge the reality of the volatile labor market for low-income workers, Lauren Bauer, Dr. Chloe N. East she/her @chloeneast.bsky.social, and Olivia Howard emphasize. brookings.edu/articles/low-i…

Refugees go through literal years of vetting. They are by far the single-most vetted population of immigrants out there, getting *substantially* more attention from law enforcement before approval than people getting green cards. This does not make us safer or better.

Leaked documents from the Trump admin show that ICE wants four new detention centers with 10,000 beds each, and fourteen smaller facilities with 700-1,000 beds each. That would likely mean tens of billions in taxpayer funds sent to private prison companies. They are salivating.

To be crystal clear: the act of treating certain populations as *outside* the jurisdiction of the law so that killing them is no longer a crime is straight up Nazi jurisprudence. That's not a slur, that's an historical fact.

I have heard from multiple sources today that lawyers who provide Know Your Rights presentations in ICE detention centers have been kicked out by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. These presentations are often the only way people in detention find out details about the process they’re going through.

President Trump sees immigration enforcement as a way to boost domestic workers, but the economics suggest otherwise. @cudenver Professor Dr. Chloe N. East she/her @chloeneast.bsky.social discusses her research on past mass deportation policy with David Gura on tonight's "Wall Street Week" trib.al/7JOdvJd

“U.S.-born workers do not simply take all the jobs left behind by immigrants after they are deported.” Dr. Chloe N. East she/her @chloeneast.bsky.social spoke to Business Insider about the labor market impact of deportations: businessinsider.com/trump-first-da…

I don't know how many times it has to be said, but work requirements don't work. Research evidence from Dr. Chloe N. East she/her @chloeneast.bsky.social & Lauren Bauer. (The Hamilton Project): hamiltonproject.org/publication/pa…
