My father was an immigration lawyer. I grew up with a visceral understanding that the immigrant contributes as much to this country as this country contributes to the immigrant. Before 1973 all an undocumented person needed to do was to walk down to the registry office & register

Seeking asylum in this country is a statutory right, not a crime. All 4 of my grandparents came through Ellis Island escaping persecution. The demonization of the immigrant and the cruel tightening of our immigration laws under the current administration is an assault on us all

Ronald Reagan gave amnesty to 8M undocumented immigrants. In order to end an aberrational chapter of American history and begin a new one we should do the same. If someone has worked here, contributed here & violated no law here, they should be given amnesty. Let’s begin again.

From a Spiritually Expanded Soul Level point of view, beyond the limitations of our primitive, divisive, chaos addicted, right fighting, mentally programmed fear-based human egos, we know that our own Sacred Mother Earth, belongs to all of us, equally🤔🌏

If you are not a Native American, you are either an immigrant or descendants of immigrants. The United States of America IS a population of immigrants. There is no “us versus them”. WE are ALL the same. Ask the Native Americans.

The state shouldn't have to contribute to someone who they give legal rights, housing, freedom and autonomy to. The contrary should prevail, at least in the beginning years.

1973? Let’s see, who was in office again? Oh yeah, that guy! The same guy behind the healthcare can make a profit, and take it to SCOTUS hiding his taxes guy! That dude’s stuff is long over due for reversal! #undoNixon

Before 1973, immigrants came and assimilated to the country they sought freedom in. They worked hard for a better life without expecting a free ride. Not at all like today. But, I think you and the rest of the Democrats know this.

Bs. There are rules to follow, laws to go by. You are sadly mistaken.
