As a member of Congress, I have a responsibility to name and speak against what is happening: this is genocide.

Farmers need labor.
“[Migrants] want the American dream, and they want to work.”
My bipartisan comprehensive immigration reform bill, the Dignity Act, grants legal protections and work authorization to migrants so we can keep our economy competitive.

Trump and Republicans are hoping that by renaming the "One Big Beautiful Bill," you'll ignore that this legislation means 99% of Americans will make LESS after-tax money.
They're taking your money, giving it to the 1%, and praying you won't notice.

Join us on Team Escobar in wishing her a very happy birthday!!
🚨 Update from the ongoing Appropriations Committee debate we’re having about funding for labor, health, and education
If we want to have a healthy, growing economy long-term, we need an educated workforce.
If we want our country to remain competitive for generations to come, we need to invest in our public education system.
Republicans are refusing to give educators across the country the financial support they need, especially when it comes to Title I funding that provides money to some of the poorest districts in America.
In El Paso, we could lose up to a thousand teachers without Title I funding.
I don’t understand why we can’t come together and fund education in our country.
Instead, Republicans are dismantling the very system meant to prepare our children for the future.
History will not remember this decision as a defense of liberty. It will be viewed as the grave failure of the highest court in the land that it is.
As Justice Sotomayor said: “We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job.”
This decision sends the full-throated message that Americans can be treated as suspects not because of their actions, but because of the color of their skin or the language they speak.
The court has effectively legitimized discrimination under the guise of law and order, given government-sanctioned racism a green light, and, again, abandoned its duty to protect the rights of all people.
The Supreme Court’s conservative majority decided today to permit racial profiling, betraying the Constitution and the values it’s meant to uphold.

I understand and appreciate the value of USPS and the postal workers who serve El Pasoans every day. That is why I do not take lightly my obligation to conduct oversight when I consistently hear from my constituents that USPS is not meeting acceptable standards in our region
There have been several types of USPS casework inquiries, with the most recent trend being El Pasoans not receiving mail at their designated cluster box for months on end.
Our community needs answers to casework issues, updates on current and future operations and maintenance, staffing challenges, and infrastructure needs.
USPS is an agency that El Pasoans seem to consistently have problems navigating, and in turn, open casework with my office.
