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.
