ADD YOUR NAME: Condemn Ken Paxton's unfair and unjust immigration policy. Boot Texas Republicans.

                                                                     


David,

For four years, Donald Trump used America’s immigration system to ruthlessly attack families seeking asylum at the US border, and break up immigrant families with deportations.

Last week, President Joe Biden called for a 100-day halt to deportations to begin to undo the damage.

But Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is fighting tooth and nail to continue Trump’s unpopular, ineffective, and violent immigration policies. He just won an injunction that will require the US to continue deportations.

Texas needs an AG who will fight for justice - not to deport families back into harm’s way. We need to show Paxton Texans condemn his attacks on human rights. Can you add your name to our letter condemning Ken Paxton’s attack on unfair and unjust immigration policy?

ADD MY NAME »

Donald Trump’s mass deportation machine broke up families, condemned thousands to return to places they left to flee violence, and violated human rights. Paxton is going all-out to continue these deportations.

Ken Paxton is under indictment for serious crimes. He is using taxpayer money to defend himself from whistleblower cases brought by seven of his deputies. He is a disgrace.

We need to show him that Texans won’t stand for immigration policies that break up families and violate human rights. Help us condemn Paxton now.

Boot Texas Republicans

JUST "ONE" EXAMPLE OF DONALD TRUMPS DETERMINATION TO STAY IN POWER, NO MATTER WHAT.



The following exchange occurred during a White House Press conference on Wednesday, Sept 24, 2020.

 “Win, lose, or draw in this election, will you commit here today for a peaceful transferal of power after the election?” reporter Brian Karem asked Donald Trump, who didn’t even attempt to give the impression he cares whatsoever about preserving democracy. “Well, we’re going to have to see what happens,” Trump said. “You know that. I’ve been complaining very strongly about the ballots, and the ballots are a disaster.” Pressed again to “commit to making sure that there’s a peaceful transferal of power,” Trump responded, “Get rid of the ballots and...we’ll have a very peaceful—there won’t be a transfer, frankly. There will be a continuation. The ballots are out of control. You know it. You know who knows it better than anybody else? The Democrats know better than anybody else.”

''...Pressed again to “commit to making sure that there’s a peaceful transferal of power,” Trump responded, Get rid of the ballots and...we’ll have a very peaceful—there won’t be a transfer, frankly. There will be a continuation."

IN OTHER WORDS, DO WHAT I TELL YOU AND WE WON'T NEED A TRANSFER OF POWER, JUST A PEACEFUL CONTINUATION.

THERE IS NO EVIDENCE, OR EVEN MINIMAL JUSTIFICATION FOR THE PHRASE:

"The ballots are out of control. You know it. You know who knows it better than anybody else? The Democrats know better than anybody else.” 

PERHAPS YOU REMEMBER THE FOLLOWING FROM AN ARTICLE PUBLISHED ON THIS WEBSITE:

"EMPTY" ASSERTION-  ANY STATEMENT, (WRITTEN OR ORAL), THAT CLAIMS TO BE FACTUAL, BUT HAS LITTLE SUPPORTING EVIDENCE OR DATA THAT CAN WITHSTAND PROPER SCRUTINY.  In many cases, the act of criticizing the Assertion is discouraged, AND IT MUST BE ACCEPTED WITHOUT QUALIFICATION.

DO YOU THINK THAT APPLIES HERE?
