Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) questions Facebook co-founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg during a hearing in the Rayburn House Office Building on Capitol Hill October 23, 2019 in Washington, DC. Tlaib slammed the Biden administration's "stay there and die" approach to immigration on Tuesday.
Representative Rashida Tlaib slammed the Biden administration's U-turn on immigration policy, calling its new messaging a "stay there and die" approach.
"This whole 'stay there and die' approach is not how our country will promote a more humane and just immigration system," Tlaib tweeted on Tuesday afternoon.
Her remarks come a day after Vice President Kamala Harris spoke at a news conference with Guatemalan President Alejandro Giammattei and explicitly told migrants to not seek asylum at the southern border.
"I want to be clear to folks in this region who are thinking about making that dangerous trek to the United States-Mexico border: Do not come. Do not come," Harris said on Monday.
This is a developing story and will be updated as more information becomes available..

"slammed the Biden administration's U-turn on immigration policy,"
Does she mean the policy of "The border is open come on up" or Ms. Harris' 2017 "all are welcome here"
Personally, I don't give a rat's behind about anything a hateful bigoted anti Semitic racist like Tlaib has to say about anything. She's as clueless about conditions on our Southern border as Harris and Biden are!
Once again the Biden Admin isn't cowing to the progressive wing.
Judging by the ever growing border crossings no one is taking Biden or Harris seriously. Until they physically shut down the border, and actively enforce immigration laws, illegals will keep coming. No amount of words from any Democrat is going to stop them.
Physically impossible not to mention prohibitively expensive.
You have actual evidence they aren't?
People are crossing claiming asylum. That by law gives them some rights. Trump took a broken system and made it worse. Biden hasn't changed anything except letting unaccompanied children get processed. Yes this has led to a flood people coming and the Admin has been left standing there with their metaphorical dick in their hand. They fucked up not having a plan to deal with it.
The only way to fix it is to get BOTH parties in congress to deal with it. The Biden Admin plan to try and fix corruption and violence in countries these people are trying to escape is one that should be done WITH other long term fixes that only congress can do. On it's own and short term it has no hope of producing anything but news soundbites.
Well it's obvious the Guatemalan and Mexican governments sure did not take much of what Harris said seriously. My late wife was fond of comparing our Southern border with Mexico to her favorite pasta strainer. Both had a huge numer of wide open holes in them!
I think America should make an exception to the cruise restrictions and put The Squad "On A Slow Boat to China".
How about strapped face up to the back of a slow moving sea turtle? Nah, that would constitute cruelty to animals!
We need to take care of all of our own citizens before we let any non-citizens in or stay here.
Who is more important? Citizens or foreigners?
To many hard core leftist liberal Democrats, I'd say the latter would be considered more important. Makes for a larger voter base!
