My father was an immigration lawyer and I was raised with a deep appreciation for the plight of the immigrant. All four of my grandparents came as immigrants through Ellis Island. Immigrants typically contribute as much to this country as this country contributes to them.

The demonization, even mistreatment of the immigrant - particularly those at our southern border - is one of the darkest legacies of the current administration. People of conscience abhor the idea that public policy would ever be an instrument of cruelty, yet today it happens.

From the separation of children from their families, to holding the children in cages,to denying them proper healthcare (at least one child has died of flu while in custody at the border), the United States government is consciously perpetrating trauma upon an innocent population

Something is deeply wrong with the heart of a nation when criminality like this is tolerated. Make no mistake about it: the criminality is not on the part of those seeking asylum in the US. The criminality is on the part of a government that so traumatizes them when they arrive.

Nowhere is the moral compass of the United States more broken than on the issue of immigration, and nowhere am I more committed to making it right. Here are my Immigration policies. marianne2020.com/issues/immi…

Martin Luther King Jr. said what was needed was “a coalition of conscience.”’That was true in his time and it is true today. Wherever there is the sufferer, there must be our hearts to love them and our hands to help them. It is that which makes our country good.

Truly, if there ever would be an impeachable offense this should qualify. Thank you Marianne Williamson for keeping this kidnapping at the border front and center in your campaign.

Don’t forget they did this and are still doing this to Native Americans.
