To state and assume that their “first action was the criminally illegal entry into the United States” is to willfully avoid having a rational conversation about this subject. The current immigration enforcement efforts have wrongfully detained and deported US citizens and immigrants with legal status. This isn’t about having a conversation about enforcing our laws; this is about the tactics behind those efforts and how we choose to conduct ourselves as a society. There is a reason that President Trump recently announced a change to his immigration enforcement efforts. We can be a nation of laws and a nation of immigrants. It’s not an either-or situation.
Well stated Mr. Ramirez. Immigrants have and continue to contribute to the what makes America great.
What rational politician would overtly advocate for folks whose first action was the criminally illegal entry into the United States https://torrancestephensphd.substack.com/p/from-al-green-to-alex-padilla
