The Party of Covid Criticizes Migration

 A group of House Republicans gathered on the southern border Monday to press on with their pivot to “Biden’s border crisis,” claiming that an influx of COVID-19-infected immigrants will set the country back in its fight against the pandemic.

Republicans have increasingly aired their concerns about the spread of COVID-19 at the border, a worry starkly at odds with their stance on the pandemic and desire to reopen society almost everywhere else.

“For our President to think opening the southern border to allow those coming in that are infected with or have been exposed to COVID makes no sense at all,” said Rep. Yvette Herrell (R-NM).  

“All the work we’ve done as a country to get our kids educated, open up our economies, ensure we’re doing the right thing to overcome this pandemic — opening the southern border makes no sense,” she added. “We’ve just taken three steps forward and 10 giant steps backwards.” 

There is not a crisis.

Poor People's Campaign- Sacramento

 We refuse to be silent as our elected leaders undermine access to the ballot box, destroy healthcare and the social safety net, and deny living wages—all while cutting taxes for the wealthy.

Join us on 10:30am on Monday, March 15th at the State Capitol in Sacramento as we deliver our 14 Policy Priorities to our legislative leadership and governor.

As the moral agents of our time, we’re building a movement to ensure political leaders take action to end the enmeshed evils of systemic racism, poverty and inequality, the war economy and militarism, ecological devastation, and the distorted moral narrative.  

There are 140 million poor and low-income people in America—we can't wait another 50 years for change to come—the time to act is now.

In solidarity,
