I don't know how many times it has to be said, but work requirements don't work. Research evidence from @ChloeNEast & Lauren Bauer. (@hamiltonproj):

An explainer on work requirements for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, summarizing the research on work requirements and their efficacy.
New reports that Republican lawmakers are considering further expanding SNAP’s harsh and ineffective work requirement to apply to parents of children 7 and older. This policy won't support work—but it will hurt kids & make it harder for low-income families to afford groceries.

“U.S.-born workers do not simply take all the jobs left behind by immigrants after they are deported.” @ChloeNEast spoke to @BusinessInsider about the labor market impact of deportations:

President Donald Trump announced multiple immigration executive orders on his first day in office, which could have negative economic impacts.

I have heard from multiple sources today that lawyers who provide Know Your Rights presentations in ICE detention centers have been kicked out by @ICEgov. These presentations are often the only way people in detention find out details about the process they’re going through.

President Trump sees immigration enforcement as a way to boost domestic workers, but the economics suggest otherwise. @cudenver Professor @ChloeNEast discusses her research on past mass deportation policy with @davidgura on tonight's "Wall Street Week" https://t.co/Ks3ZeWcNej

Refugees go through literal years of vetting. They are by far the single-most vetted population of immigrants out there, getting *substantially* more attention from law enforcement before approval than people getting green cards. This does not make us safer or better.
Scoop: WASHINGTON (AP) — Trump administration cancels travel plans for refugees who have already been cleared to resettle in the US.

To be crystal clear: the act of treating certain populations as *outside* the jurisdiction of the law so that killing them is no longer a crime is straight up Nazi jurisprudence. That's not a slur, that's an historical fact.
It will be very interesting to see how federal prosecutors seek the death penalty against undocumented immigrants when undocumented immigrants are not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.

Leaked documents from the Trump admin show that ICE wants four new detention centers with 10,000 beds each, and fourteen smaller facilities with 700-1,000 beds each. That would likely mean tens of billions in taxpayer funds sent to private prison companies. They are salivating.
AOC: "I want folks at home to look at what members of Congress are invested in private prisons companies, and look at the votes on this bill. It is atrocious that people are lining their pockets with private prison profits in the name of a horrific tragedy."

Work requirements limiting access to safety net programs fail to acknowledge the volatility of the low-wage labor market, write Lauren Bauer, @ChloeNEast, and Olivia Howard. “Gaps in work hours are not necessarily a function of not wanting to work.” https://t.co/6oRLbw6VKh

Rigid work requirements could restrict access to social insurance programs—without increasing employment—because of the volatility of the low-wage labor market. More from Lauren Bauer, @ChloeNEast, and Olivia Howard: https://t.co/WvTxis1HUN

Earnings and work hours volatility is a defining characteristic of low-wage work, reflecting not the preferences of workers but the nature of the labor market they work in. Lauren Bauer, @ChloeNEast, and Olivia Howard explain:

Instability is a defining characteristic of low-income workers’ earnings and work hours.

Making programs like SNAP and Medicaid strictly conditional on work does not acknowledge the reality of the volatile labor market for low-income workers, Lauren Bauer, @ChloeNEast, and Olivia Howard emphasize.

It's gotten ZERO attention but this law authorizes state AGs like Ken Paxton to seek court orders forcing the executive branch to detain and deport specific people, overturn individual humanitarian parole decisions, and most worryingly, cease issuing visas to entire countries.
264-159: The House passes the Laken Riley Act, which would require DHS to detain undocumented immigrants charged with theft-related crimes. 48 Democrats voted with all Republicans present. The measure now moves to the Senate, where at least one Dem senator has backed it.

Dem Senators: Please read the Laken Riley bill. It is not a border bill. It lets Ken Paxton and local state judges guide immigration policy.

“H-1Bs force people into dependence on their employer.” That’s literally how capitalism works for all jobs, join forces and fight to expand the rights of all workers. You’re so close to understanding how the world works and what it will take to build a better society.

For the last time: The illegal / legal immigrant distinction is a manufactured crisis designed to mask deeper anxieties about white supremacy and generate support for nativist policies.

Can’t think of a better person to carry on the one and only Dr. Bill Spriggs’ vision and leadership at the AFL-CIO. Congratulations, @DarrickHamilton!
A huge union family welcome to @DarrickHamilton, our new AFL-CIO Chief Economist! Dr. Hamilton will build on the late and legendary Bill Spriggs’ work on racial and economic justice, and bring bold new ways of thinking to our labor movement’s fight for working people.
