We cannot let them flood in , we need a decent border(no walls please.) With that, we need an easier way to become citizens, a shorter wait time and make it less costly, there are families trying to come here to get work or start a business.

My Shoshone relatives take exception to your "nation of immigrants" declaration. And they, like their ancestors, would prefer to see a managed and respectful approach by those who wish to come here, rather than just forcing their way in.

We are not a nation of immigrants. Here is the definition of an immigrant: A person who comes to live permanently in a foreign country. If you are born here you are not an immigrant, you are a citizen. Immigrants are people who become a citizens. Illegal immigrants not citizens.

We are all immigrants somewhere in the world. And if we are not, we were our ancestors.

Systemically, we are a world or “sea of humanity”. Borders did not always exist in the history of the world and people were free to flow as they wished. What stops us from being free to flow ... fear, control, lack of empathy, and social systems that hold people in poverty

We are a nation of immigrants, let's not conflate that with being a nation of illegal illiterate disease bearing aliens

I would vote for you if I were American. Keep fighting the good fight. The world is crying out for leaders with the courage to do the right thing.
