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.https://www.marianne2020.com/issues/immigration …
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.
What is going on today at the border is nothing short of intentional neglect of the basic need that a human needs to survive. Safety! Most are fleeing violence so horrific that there is no other choice. Aren’t are supposed to be the great mixing pot with endless opportunity??
Mine did as well. All four from the islands of Portugal. It’s quite the pursuit for happiness isn’t it.
I can't believe we are letting this happen in America. Seems like a bad dream. We need to wake up and rise against this.
But, it was always done and is still being done in “America.” Time to finally dismantle it.
