Let’s Set the Record Straight on Biden, Harris and the Border

I want to thank any friends who have helped the nonprofit @supportKIND over the years. There are about 140,000 #migrant children who arrive alone at our borders each year. We help them find free lawyers for immigration proceedings-and much more. We give them kindness, safety.

So Cal Friends: I am speaking @CSULB on Thursday night. 52% of California’s K-12 students are #Latine. There has been huge progress getting them enrolled college. But a big and growing number don’t graduate. Come hear why and what can be done about it.

Loved speaking @MASBATX and these San Antonio high school #mariachi were a tough, phenomenal act to follow!

Today as President Biden announces big restrictions on people seeking safety at our border, I am grateful that so many have chosen to put themselves in the shoes of #migrants and try to understand. Enrique’s Journey –the paperback alone--just went into it’s 47th printing.
