Do you love #accordion music and/or hate US #immigration policy? If so, check out my new song "Let Them In." Any money from downloads will go to immigrant advocacy and support orgs.

Brief thread on how we got here: Since the GOP won control of the House 2 years ago they have not passed a single appropriations package into law. Government has operated at funding levels set by Dems 2 years ago via continuing resolutions every few months. This is not normal.
