To Republicans who use “invasion” language about immigrants: Stop - Your rhetoric gets people killed.

The gunman who just pled guilty to killing 23 “Hispanic invaders” in El Paso was inspired by the GOP’s invasion rhetoric.

@Joaquincastrotx The Home Secretary in the UK is using similar language. She was asked to stop using invasion language by a Holocaust survivor but said she wouldn't. We had an incident in Liverpool a couple of days ago where asylum seekers were intimidated by crowds of protesters outside a hotel housing them. A police vehicle was set on fire. Actions have consequences and dog whistle rhetoric is fuelling dangerous actions.
