Please @SenSchumer trust those of us in the legal community who know the complexity. We need to add the #AAA #Afghan adjustment act to the Omnibus legislation. I teach and write in this field. The legislation is essential to protect our allies. Existing mechanisms are crushed.

@SenSchumer New York is home to many #immigrants. Today you can make a significant difference by adding the #AAA to the omnibus bill. As a Senior Fellow @immigrantarc I have heard from our legal community and Afghan residents. Please take action today.

@SenSchumer I am a law professor in #NewYork and urge you to adopt the #AAA to aid #Afghans. I have been in the field of #immigration law for over 25 years and working with hundreds of Afghans and nonprofits to try to meet the needs. Please add this bipartisan legislation today.

The glaring omission of the #AAA in the omnibus is a failure to our Afghan allies & the American veterans of the war in Afghanistan. Congress missed a major opportunity to honor the promise we made to our #AfghanAllies. But our work is not over.

Painful to read about the many ways govt failed. Strong reporting! The story of the U.S. government’s family-separation policy is one of both cruelty and incompetence. @itscaitlinhd spent a year and a half investigating:

Why #dueprocess is missing in much of #immigration law. Excellent brief report by @immcouncil The picture is misleading though...there are no three judge panels in immigration courts.

I was able to visit the migrant shelter in Celaya and appreciated all that I learned and observed. You can make a difference with any amount of support. As little as $5 can pay for a pair of sturdy shoes, more can aid in the treatment and care of migrants
